    I am intrigued by the Duluth Firehouse jeans, so ordered a pair to see what they are like. If they work out in the size I ordered... Will get a couple more. Also discovered that I am going to need a new 3/4 helmet. My F/F Kabuto just will not let me position the Sena 20S helmet speakers at the appropriate spot for my ears.

    My ear canal(s) are not located inline with my temples. Apparently the Kabuto manufacturer thinks so though....

    For the Duluth Jeans - I ordered my Levi 501 size - fit as expected. Go longer than shorter on the inseam - they do shrink a very wee bit in the dryer.

    You know, I was going to ask you about that... the sizing and all.

    For the record, I never stick jeans in the dryer...I always hang 'em to air dry; right out of the washer.

    No jammies.

    How do the Duluth Fire Hose pants compare with heavy weight stuff from Carhart, etc.?

    Bruce - I cannot speak to that. Besides my BMG inclement weather riding pants, these are the only non-Levi product I've worn on a bike.

    The other Steve, Steve 0080, can probably answer this as he buys one of everything when it comes out.
    He's on a week Colorado excursion and won't be back for awhile yet.

    Maybe there are other forumites who can bring some expertise?
