    About 40K miles on a pair, had to buy another

    Agreed. One of the best pair of jeans for riding I've ever owned as well.

    Here's my old pair vs new pair after 40K miles. The heavily faded and ribbed pair on the right looked like the brand new pair on the left 3 yrs ago. LOL. From Los Angeles to Banff, from Vancouver to Sedona AND everywhere west of Denver, these pants never failed. Though did use a lighter weight (non-Duluth) pant going thru the desert. Believe I'll be adding their very light fabric pant for the desert and hot day rides this summer.

    btw, none of the fading is from machine drying. I've always hung these to dry.

    I intend to buy me a pair once I finish loosing my weight. Went from a size 48 to 42 and hope to get to a 38. Got short legs, 29" inseam. I like a 30" if I'm riding to help with the creep up.

    I'll be the odd one here. I hated the firehose pants, didn't fit right at all. The buck-naked underwear, long tail tees and Henly's rock though. I've been wearing the tees for many years and have never had any complaints. The boxers take a little to get use to otherwise are great and the Henly's are worth every penny.

    36" inseam here, and the 34" inseam fit nicely. And, I ride in Keen hiking sandals and the end of the pant comes down over my heal. I also have a few pair of Tommy Bahama linen slacks for work, they're also 34" seam, and they're long on me. Some manufactures inseams run long.

They are also true to size, I have a black pair and according to their web site I will never wear they out !!!! I highly recommend these, they also come lined for the folks up North..... These may be a little warm here in the south during the summer... but if you go down, these are the best non motorcycle pants to go on wearing!

    I bought two pair originally and after three years they began to fade. I bought the black dye and re-dyed them. They are new again, albeit softer.
    Just a thought, it was pretty easy and I also dyed a pair of my wife's favorite jeans at the same time...no big deal!

    I have had two pair for a long time

    I think they are the best motorcycling pants I have ever had and they are very comfortable but the thing most don't know is that if unfortunately you have to lay your bike down the Duluth trading jeans will not rip apart like regular jeans. Duluth already has had motorcyclist slide on asphalt with no road rash and nothing tore up on the jeans. Ready for another ride. these things are tough and worth every cent you pay for them. I always buy them 2 inches longer than I need figuring on being in the seated position and one more thing they take the sting out of those large insects hitting your legs.
