<p>I have been a fan of <a href=”http://www.duluthtrading.com/” target=”_blank”>Duluth Trading Company’s</a> products for many years and I’ve never felt I didn’t get more than my money’s worth with any Duluth products. However, the company has thrown down the gauntlet on their recently torture-tested <a href=”http://www.duluthtrading.com/store/clothes-footwear/mens/pants-shorts/92204.aspx?feature=P6619-C55815-L2&processor=content” target=”_blank”>Fire Hose® work pants</a>. Put simply, they challenge us to put the pants through their paces – and if we rip, tear, or fray them, or are for any reason n
ot satisfied with them, the folks at Duluth Trading will send us another pair, no questions asked. </p>
<p>Put in specific corporate language: “<i>If your Duluth Trading Fire Hose Work Pants ever let you down, fray, tear, rip or give out, send them back to us. No questions asked, we’ll send you a brand spankin’ new pair, and the shipping’s on us.</i>”</p>
<p>Get your own pair of Fire Hose® Work Pants today and see if you can work them hard enough to honestly deserve a replacement pair. I know I am going to give it a shot.</p>
<p>For the record, I am wearing a Duluth Trading Co. shirt, belt and boots here at the office today.</p>
