This company's products seem just what the doctor ordered for job wear and accessories, whether you are a straight up installer or business owner.

https://www.duluthtrading.com

I've never bought anything from them, but think I'm going to buy a set of pants/shirt/jacket suitable for on site meetings with clients, GCs and trades. Rugged, functional, yet seemingly professional.

Check out these sports coats:

Anyone have any experience with their products? Curious also about similar sport coats from other manufacturers suitable for those on sites.
If it's not simple, it's not sufficiently advanced.

Don't forget to get a few pair of no pinch, no stink underwear on checkout.

Have always appreciated a pair of pants I could sit down in while standing up;)

Don’t trust a website that uses drawings of their products instead of photos.

We have local stores here so I've been wearing their clothes for years.  Very durable, no complaints.

I've been to the local store here, the stuff is well made but I'm too cheap to buy the stuff.

Excellent products. The firehose flex carpenter pants are my favorite

I wear the long sleeve tees everyday. I wear it under my work tee shirt, or under my work polo. The sleeves never get worn out, and they stay tucked!

I just order a few samples of the short sleeve, was considering having them screen printed for our work shirts instead on using Gliden.

I ordered some of the flex jeans in my "normal" size and they were too small in the waist and too long. So I sent them back and ordered one size larger and one size shorter. Those were off in the opposite direction in both measurements. WTF? Since they do not have in between sizes, I decided to not order anymore. I kept the pair I ended up with and they are decent to work in. They just fit like hell and I probably look like I broke out of jail and stole clothes from the first person I ran into to try and blend in. I use them for rough ins and other dirty work.

No complaints here. I've blown out a few pairs of pants, like the flex hose and ballroom jeans. Either the crouch blew out or I ripped the knee area. Both instances, return them to store for "No Bull" guarantee. Exchanged pants for free.

The underwear is very comfortable and no nut hugging.

I discovered the firehose flex carpenter pants about a year ago... I don't think I will ever wear jeans again. Not cheap but the warranty is good.

I bought three of their t-shirts (different colors, $20 per) and had my logo sewn on from a gal in my BNI group. The shirts are fantastic, however, (good or bad) they are super high thread count? They wear heavy, thick, more like a sweatshirt (compared to a Vistaprint t-shirt). If you're a guy that sweats a lot, like me, not always great.

I have had their stuff for years. The pricing went up when they started advertising more so I only buy when they have something I want on sale. The underwear are great and the flex cargo pants are the best pant I have found. I don’t care for the shirts as I am stocky so the longtail is like a dress and they are heavy and hot in the summer. If you are ordering they are sized tighter then most jeans, more like dress pant sizing so you may want to order a size larger.

Maybe this is the look they're going for. That sure matches the drawings!
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.

A few years ago I was looking for a new coat. Duluth had one that by description had lots of potential. But looking at the artist rendering they used, I envisioned 2 possibilities of how it would actually be. One very bad, kind of dated looking, maybe prison issue being a good description. The other being very nice. I ordered it. It was absolutely, 100% exactly everything I feared it could be. It reminded me of those awful navy blue jackets from the 70’s that had the bright orange lining.
