So how qualified am I to review these products? I headed to my closet and counted. Then I headed to…read moremy drawers and counted. Finally, I went to my laundry basket and counted to makes sure I didn't miss anything. I have thirty-three pieces of Duluth clothing that I wear all the time! I have two types of T's. I have polos. I have two types of cargo shorts and dress shorts. I even have a bunch of Duluth underwear! The pic I posted is a simple Henley T that is about seven years old and has been washed a bazillion times and still going strong. I've never lost a button and it's never frayed or had a ripped seam. It's great for banging around town and running errands. Their stuff is solid beyond words albeit a little pricy, but the value is there. Duluth is primarily a catalog company that of course has an online presence and that's how I make my purchases. So, what about the store? I suspect a visitor unfamiliar with the product would give it four or even five stars. It's clean and beautifully merchandized. The customer service is just fine. There is easy access to the online catalog if you need it. For me, as I'm so comfortable with the product over so many years, the store doesn't add much. However, because the product is awesome and the store is picture perfect with great service, I'm going with five stars!

If I could give zero stars I would also...Just Kidding!

Don't worry though if you are of a trusting nature and get ripped off by this scumbag- because when you bring back the used/broken Chinese junk he sold you as high dollar quality parts he will quickly tell you it is your fault because you were decent enough to trust him-and its all your fault because "you were dumb enough to buy them". Think this review is over exaggerated? Go see for yourself, I promise you will be sorry.
