*Used to make damn fine stuff. IMO since they've gained popularity they've clearly switched up to quantity over quality production. I have old pants and flannels from them that have lasted 6+ years. I have new pants and flannels that are less than 3 years old and look worse than my older items already.

I will definitely agree on that. Fire hose and the dry on the fly pants are still my favorites. Especially the lined ones. The fleece went way down hill. It’s really nice to have an actual store to walk around and check the quality. Back in my day u just rolled the dice and ordered on line 😆

Definitely (and sadly agree) here. They caught some marketing traction and became a bigger brand than they could keep up with. They still have good stuff, but they certainly have a lot of crap that’s just dad-fashion and not actually BIFL
