Has anyone ever ordered from them? I (for some reason) started receiving their catalog and it looks like they have some nice stuff. Couldn't find many reviews on line for them though. Their clothes remind of what what Banana Republic use to be-clothes that you would get tired of before they wore out. I was especially interested in their fire hose pants-always looking for something more durable that can start off as 'good' pants and go to work in the yard / work on the cars pants after a couple of years.

I've ordered from them and IMO they sell quality stuff. Their clothing doesn't always fit me, but I'm hard to fit. Give 'em a try, I'm pretty sure you'll be satisfied.

Two specific caveats though:

Their socks currently have the toe-box seam *right* where it causes discomfort for me. Wheren't like that originally, but they made some little change and now I can't stand them.

Their fancy kneepads were *not* comfortable for me, so I'd pass on those too.

So I got two pairs of pants from them for Christmas. Wow! These are some serious pants. I know that sounds weird, but don't know how else to say it. I got the Firehose Cargo pants and a pair of Firehose Jeans. I feel like I could be dragged down the road in these and they'd hold up - yet they're not stiff & uncomfortable. I like the crotch gusset, too - leaves more room for the boys so they don't get pinched. Overall, probably some of the nicest pants I've ever had. Well made, not a loose thread on them, seams reinforced, stress points are all metal tacked, super heavy zipper, etc. Even the bottom cuff has an extra layer of reinforcement on it so it doesn't unravel and your foot doesn't get caught on it. They're not cheap ($40-$45), but I have a feeling they'll last forever. Oh- and they look nice, too.
