I've had good experiences with these people. They sell mostly "work clothes" and tools, plus a few "guy stuff" gewgaws.

The tools and stuff they don't make themselves are good, but you can usually find them cheaper elsewhere. Good kneepads, tool holders, etc.

Their own line of work clothes OTOH is well designed, reasonably priced and very tough. The fit is accurate, pockets, rivets, reinforcement patches are all where you need them to be, etc.

If I still lived in New England I'd probably be buying their nasty/cold weather gear, but I don't need it now. I assume that is also well-done, since they're located in the Frozen Wastes of the Midwest. It looks like a more economical alternative to Orvis/Bean/Bauer/etc.

I had a couple of returns that were handled with no hassle. Quick shipping, too.

I just saw their catalog for the first time this week. Their "Fire Hose" gear looks really good.

Good Stuff! I pretty much live from October thru March in their long-sleeve, butt-covering tees.

I just bought a pair of their FH work pants. I have issues with using velcro closures on the pockets, but otherwise they look pretty indestructible, but still not as "binding" as new jeans.

Tom needs to look at their side-clip suspenders for under-jacket rigs. Cough.

EDIT: forgot to mention that they also carry Domincan brand Bay Rum. An awesome after-shave that makes the ladies go wild.
