Completely frivolous post-

I’ve seen Duluth recommended on here before.

I’m usually a Lands End tee and tank with star fish pants  gal but Duluth has some adorable gardening overalls I’ve been eyeing.  Then I found their tank top page with built in shelf bras- I’m pretty sure I need these!!

Any other favorites? Anyone tried their bralettes? I’m all about comfy in an XL.

Thanks!

I have a great pair of work horse pants with more pockets than I need. I did recently have to let the hem down an inch to make me completely satisfied, but that might have been due to my heavy-handed clothes washing techniques. 😄

I don't love the bra I got from them. The front of it is a wrap style and it doesn't sit well on my bust. It is fine, I wear it, but it cost enough that I would prefer for it to be better than fine.

I think it’s good quality, but… Everything I’ve ordered from them I needed to size down. I haven’t tried not-stretchy pants, but the couple pairs of pants I did order were falling off even when I went by the measurements. Sizing down once from that was still too big. And then they stretched out more. So I would either go into a store or order multiple sizes knowing you’ll return half. I was more hourglass shaped at the time, it’s possible it’s simply designed for a different body type. I don’t think my mom had that experience with them. 

Also the bra tops are weird in that the inner bra is the same measurement as the top. So in order to get any support in the bra at all, the top will be skin tight. It worked great as a nursing top but isn’t something I’d wear as anything but an inner layer. Even my mom said it was the worst bra she’d ever seen me in. Flattened my chest down more than a cheap sports bra.

My husband *Loves* their Flex Fire House carpenter pants for work. They are $$$ but he uses them to death. He also loves their underwear and I get him a couple every Christmas. 
 

I like their long-tail tees because they fit my long torso and stay tucked. I also bought a pair of their quick dry cargo pants for travel and those were great. I think they are called Flexpedition.

Do you know how long they last? My son is investing in some work wear.

Two years of serious abuse, assuming the wearer does not toss them at the first imperfection.

Thanks! He's more likely to brag about where the imperfections came from, lol! Two hours per day in an indoor carpentry program at a votech school is shredding his jeans, but they aren't allowed to wear holey pants with their uniform shirts.

Carrhardts are good for work pants too if he doesn’t have those already.

Thanks, he is looking at those too. He's just started to price things and try them on. I love that he is being cautious about prices, durability, etc.

I really like the longer length they offer in tees and tanks, but their No-Yank Tank does not work as advertised, fyi.  Still a decent tank, but I definitely find myself tugging it back down quite often. 

DH loves the firehose pants.  He's super hard on clothing and a pair will last him quite a while. They used to have a lifetime replacement guarantee, but I don't think they have that anymore.

I've never had their bras, but like their clothes. We have Duluth Trading Co stores around us since we live in MN. Lands End is near us too.

I just ordered the pants(on clearance) and a tshirt for our upcoming trip. Fingers crossed 🙂 I also got a tshirt for dh to try out. He's just been getting 6 packs of Hanes but they don't last very well.
