I used to get their catalog and found them delightful. They opened up a brick an mortar near me but haven’t stopped in.
I dare say you should go to Duluths site if you want to get their stuff.

Maybe that’s what they call the “search team” as in this review:
"Girlfriend almost pissed herself when I came out the bathroom for sexy time.
NOTE: be careful . This thing will climb up your butt crack so far . You have to send a search team in to remove it."

Very much second @jlw’s recommendation of Duluth’s fire hose pants.
They will outlast a half dozen pairs of regular denim jeans, so even though they are expensive, if you are prone to destroying jeans they are cost-effective.
Be aware that they are thick, heavy and stiff until you break them in.

There was a reddit thread EXACTLY like this on https://www.reddit.com/r/BuyItForLife/. I got to researching European brands of work gear that are actually made in the EU (and thus not junky knock off watered down stuff). Here’s what I found:
** blaklader 481613709900 Toughguy Pile Lined Jacket $110
** or: https://www.fullsource.com/blaklader-406213209900/?keywords=brawny $100
** or: https://www.amazon.com/Herock-Perseus-Premium-Performance-Breathable/dp/B00J49T0LS $76
** or: https://www.amazon.com/Service-Line-Jacket-Snickers-Workwear/dp/B01HR3048A/ref=sr_1_19?ie=UTF8&qid=1509684957&sr=8-19&keywords=snickers+jacket&dpID=411sKvWl3yL&preST=SY300_QL70&dpSrc=srch $220
I was looking for jackets, but the same brands obviously offer pants. Here’s your chance to cosplay as a Swedish firefighter

They also have women’s cuts, which I recommend. I can’t see any damage at all, after 5+ years.

I’m lazy, I just go straight to the wear and wear and wear step
My first pair is faded and showing damage at the heels and pocket edges, but the knees are still whole despite 3 years of pretty extreme abuse.

Don’t they have a lifetime replacement guarantee if they wear out?
Seems they are good about replacements for up to 1 year? I thought I’ve heard Filson/Coach style stories of “I sent them my 30 year old item and they fixed it for the cost of shipping.”

Well, Jason. . . what else were you looking at recently that might’ve brought up those sexy pants?

Happy to find that they have a store in my state of Va. Ironically located in Manassas.
