Duluth Trading is now open in Bloomington

[Wish-I-Were-Fishn]

Another place to troll the isles. They are in the old Burger Bros. store on 98th and Lyndale.

Nice! Finally something to do on those rare occasions when my truck is at the Ford dealership

[Ufatz]

I suppose its too much to hope their astronomical prices have come down at all? Hee hee hee!

I believe you are thinking of Duluth Pack

Duluth Trading Company having a brick and mortar store is new to me. I have received their ads in the mail but that is it.

Duluth trading has 3 stores in wisconsin and now one in minnesota. I always figured they were parasitic on the reputation of Duluth Pack Company. Took me a while to realize they weren't the same company.

Main store is in Mt Horeb, WI which on the map appears to be like 20 miles this side of Madison.

Not too far from Dodgeville, which is home of Lands End, which moved there from Chicago. Lands End is now owned by Sears.

Back to Duluth Trading, they started out by inventing Bucket Boss, and were indeed in Duluth. Abra Cadabra, the company changed hands and they end up in Mount Horeb selling Tshirts and stuff.

Do real working guys buy this stuff, or do they buy Dickies and Carharts and leave the Duluth Trading stuff to the pretend working guys? Seriously, I am wondering.

I bought a couple of their "fire hose" work pants and really like them. I live on a farm so they get put thru a lot of different activities and they held up all year. Well built and worth the price for sure.

Do you seriously care if the cool kids wear this stuff, or do you really want to know if it's quality material?

[Wish-I-Were-Fishn]

I bought a couple pairs of their quick dry cargo pants and love them. Heck they even look good enough to wear out on the town.

"Old" is relative. Compared to some, I'm young... others, not so much. Compared to dirt I'm an infant!

We would go to Burger Bros (called them Burgler Bros) see all the cool stuff, then go to Holiday Village to buy. Good times going there with my dad. If you never experienced Holiday Village, it was basically a Fleet Farm with a huge grocery section.

If you don't remember Burger Brothers and Holiday Village, you may still be wet behind the ears.

Ha, LOL we use to do that, kind of like going to Cabelas now and ending up at Fleet Farm!

I am seriously curious, especially now that I see their ads on TV. BTW the hipsters are into Carhart too. I don't think they stoop to Dickies.

I was presuming it was quality stuff, although $19.50 for a T-shirt seems a little steep (along with $50 jeans and $40 khakis).

I had forgotten about the nickname "Burglar Brothers". And didn't Holiday Village eventually get rolled into Gander Mountain?

Holiday bought Gander Mountains retail stores & Cabela's purchased Gander's catalog business. Part of the agreement was that Holiday couldn't use the Gander Mountain name for catalog sales. Once online shopping came into the picture Cabela's got a judge to rule that the contract also covered online sales. That's why Gander couldn't sell online for many years. The 2 of them spent a lot of time and money fighting in court before they settled.

I love Duluth Trading. Have many button-down tees, a couple mock turtlenecks, a pair of suspenders, some long-tail Tees and a jacket. Very good, comfortable stuff, and I don't think the prices are that steep for the quality you get. I tend to be pretty hard on this kind of stuff and it holds up well. Like others have said, it's good in the field, but you can also wear it into town for a decent dinner.

As soon as I wear through a couple pairs of logging pants I have I'm gonna try the fire hose stuff for work around the property.

As I recall, Gander bought Burger Bros.
