Has anyone purchased anything from here?
My interest is piqued... Being 6'5", and 245 lbs, my retail clothing options are limited.

I've never heard of them, which doesn't mean a whole lot.

I just started getting little catalogs, maybe a month ago, and I got another today.... I've never heard of them before that either.I want to know about quality, and fit, from someone who's worn their stuff.

I had intentions to order a pair of fire hose pants a long time ago but forgot about it until recently I saw a commercial for them. From what I read if you wear out fire hose products you just send them back and they give you a new one. I am not a fan of buying stuff without trying it on on account of my tall lankyness and I dont feel like making the drive.

Ya, me too.. I'd like to try it on first too, but.......... If I could get some input, other than the glowing reviews on their website, I'd order some stuff.
I like my Carhart coats, and I just wonder how their fire hose material compares...

It must be good or they have a team of people making great reviews.

Carharts last me a couple years of tough use (at an hvac shop), the extreme ones are very warm and they are half the cost at tractor supply/fleet farm ect. One of my biggest fears with that fire hose jacket is not the wear of the material but if I'm going to freeze my ass off in it or not nothing worse then working outside all day when your cold. Maybe I dig to far into things.

I'd stick with the Carhart jackets, but the pants, and the sport jacket made out of that fire hose material would be good. I beat the piss out of my clothes, and it seems like those would last...

I have bought a couple pair of those fire hose pants as gifts but none for myself. Those that I have bought them for love them and wear them often. They are awesome pants.

I'd buy a pair of their Ballroom Jeans but since the wife has my Balls in a Jar in the freezer there really isn't any reason to.

Been buying their jeans, T's for years, V necks, good quality, extra long. They have good stuff. Of late, been noticing advertisements on the tube (I'm sorry, flat screen).

I've had a pair of the firehose pants for several years and can't wear them out. Only issue is, if going somewhere to get weighed, don't wear these. Them britches is heavy!

Is that in the same jar as in the freezer in your balls? Is that why you can't turn it in?
