Yeah but not wanting/going to pay $30 for a pair of underwear.
I like a bunch of Duluth's stuff. Wearing their Ballroom jeans right now. Have some of their khaki pants that fit will, and a few shirts. Some of their "fancier" stuff just doesn't seem to fit or wear right, though.
Gotta watch for sales.
I have a pair of the Buck Naked long underwear and they do make for a nice base layer.
I have 3 pairs of the fire hose pants. One pair is fleece lined and they are the favorite pants I own. I also have a pair of the firehouse flex which get a ton of wear in the summer. I like the Foreman chinos too.
All of the pants have the crotch gusset which is just so much better than a traditional pant design. Some of them are more than 4 years old and still going strong. Well worth the money.
I also love their Flannel shirts.
No. Flannel is (or at least once was) a material, not a pattern. Cotton isn't flannel. Cotton "flannel" is garbage. When it comes to flannel, it's wool or nothing.
I realize this isn't as big of an issue for most people as it is for me, but cotton clothing in the backcountry will get you killed. And now that legitimate gear companies like Patagonia are selling cotton "flannel" shirts, someone is going to end up dead. I've already had one trip out so far this winter where switching out my wool clothes for cotton would have taken my adventure from "cold, wet, lots of fun, but less than perfectly comfortable" to dangerous or life-threatening, and winter still hasn't really arrived.
Lots of places, REI, TAD Gear, Patagonia, Prana, you’re probably not gonna hit the local mall and get true good stuff thoughWhere do you find wool clothes then?

You ain’t buying any of the merino or technical stuff cheap, but it more than pays for itself in durability and longevity.
What am I missing here?

My question as well. I re-read your post twice assuming I’d missed some subtle joke, but if so, I’m still missing it.
How much for the pair you’ve outgrown? I’m glad I have 50 posts...
(Just a joke, for the 2% who’ll think I’m serious).
Forgot about Rusted Moon!In the Indianapolis area, REI and Rusted Moon are the best bets.
But I mostly buy clothes online. Amazon, Backcountry.com, and the sale sections of various manufacturer websites.
For a good wool flannel shirt, I like Pendleton. If you think Duluth Trading is expensive clothing, though, don't even bother pricing real wool flannel.
