I recently purchased 2 new pairs. Unfortunately you have chosen to use a lighter weight fabric and put a large label on the bottom of the right rear pocket. I have been purchasing these pants for several years and still have 7 pairs of the old version hanging in my closet. The label on the original pants is covered by my belt and that was ok, otherwise I do not like large visible labels on my clothing. And due to the reduction of the weight of cloth you are now using I will no longer be buying these pants. If you change it back let me know, I would be glad to begin purchasing them again. I have copied my wife as she is the one who actually has been purchasing them for me. Now here is my (the wife's) review: I buy these pants every 6 to 10 months. I bought them in October of 2024. I noticed right away that they were thinner. Just three months after wearing them they appear worn out. The fabric became even thinner and old looking. I removed the labeling on the bottom of the back pocket with ease. However the previous label made of leather and on the waistband made them classy looking. Like others they seemed to have a larger fit. Like many others I will not be buying them again. Oh yah, your marketing / catalogs used to be better too! You took a unique company and changed to be like everyone else. By the way, we lived in Duluth for 26 years and loved your store there.

Love how comfortable and flexible these are but the button breaking after a few months is ridiculous. J.B. Welded it on for now but if it pops off again I'm going to demand an exchange.
I work in the office and in a laboratory testing fuel pumps. These pants look much nicer than jeans and offer more durability/resistance to occasional fluid splashes containing water, fuels, and more. Very happy with these and I recently purchased 3 pairs. Would like to see additional color options for future purchases. Thank you Duluth, I'm a big fan!
Love these pants. Please tell me they are just out of stock and not being discontinued.
Why change these pants? They were the best ones and are now vastly to big and made with different material. They don't even fit the same. Good way to lose customers not gain.
