Dude! I love the Duluth Firehose Flex stuff, it's pretty tough and saves me money in the long run. When I'm out and about, I'm pretty tough on my clothing. The cheap stuff I buy ends up ripping or tearing after a few months, while my firehose stuff is still kicking. I usually alternate between two to three pairs of pants that I launder after every use, which probably cuts down on their durability.
Duluths Ball-Room Khakis are also insanely comfortable and tough, but not as durable as their firehose-flex wear. Granted, I took my khakis to a field camp and they're still kicking. Look for sales and buy the clothing you need ahead of time, like a season or two in advance, it'll be way cheaper. As for shirts and socks, I buy them in packages from Walmart (way cheaper).
Duluth has some awesome stuff, but some of it is a tad overpriced considering it's made in China.
