..and I may or may not have just spent $127 after a $10 off coupon. But I may have.
Have to say a friend sold me on them after I bought two pair of jeans at Old Navy last fall and they both died within a month or two. Splits, holes tears... One pair split completely in the back when I sat down and they had been washed maybe twice.
And the ballroom jeans are pretty damn comfy.
The Armachillo underwear are pretty cool, too. Pun intended. 
And the vest with button on pouches around the bottom beats a carpenters belt in every way.
Do rhey have a good selection of sizes to try on there, Jerry?
Those ballroom jeans don't fit me, but I wear their everyday work pants or firehose pants to work all the time. I visit one of their stores in MN when I go there for work when I need to stock up or try stuff on. Not cheap, but the stuff seems to hold up pretty good.

They do. It's pretty cool being able to see everything they offer at once. I needed a size large in one of the shorts & it was missing. Helpful assistant went and fetched me a pair. Being 5 minutes from my work could be a dangerous thing.
Building one a few minutes away (Robinson Mall). Never shopped there before but I'll stop by the grand opening to check it out.
My $10 rural king brand carpenter jeans have plenty of ballroom
Yes, the DTC store in WC is about 10 min from work, and about 5 min from where I grew up. Ive been resisting the urge to binge, but I feel the constant gravitational pull all the time. I dont have as physical of a job anymore, so Im not burning thru Levi's every 6 months like I used to. But I do want some firehose pants for those times where I put my carpentry and roofing background to work in renovations...
I'll be back home this fall. I'll start saving money for a trip to the store now.
Nearest store is 157 miles away. My wallet is safe. I'm very particular about clothes. Shirts are about the only thing I can buy without trying on first.
I hope they don't build one by me. I'm already stocked up on their underware.
If nothing else, there were two types of shorts I was interested in. Same price, similar features. Pretty handy to be able to see and feel (& try on both if I wanted) to make my decision.
Like the jacket I got for the dog, the collared shirts were disappointing, wore out quickly.
There is a Harbor Freight store right up the street from my house. Cheap, Chinese junk gets expensive when you buy a bunch of it, even with a coupon
I have two pairs of their fire hose pants. I don't think they carry the style any more but the material is the same. For about nine months they held up very well through the abuse that I put them through, however once they started to deteriorate they went downhill very quickly. I still have them to wear when I'm doing something around the house.
I hate their commercials.

Agreed
I'm a sucker for their Ballroom Jeans. I liked their magic underwear too until I discovered UNIQLO's Suprima cotton stuff (cheaper, more comfortable IMO). Their hoodies are loose, durable, and very good for working on cars/RallyCross/general outdoor whateverness. I wish their 7-year socks were cheaper because they're the only sock I like anymore for normal wear.
Haven't gotten any of their shirts yet. I'm guessing they'll be too hard of a finish for me to appreciate them.

Haven't watched regular TV (or pay for that matter) since 2008 = no commercials. 
I hadn't even heard of them until the new jeans from Old Navy disintegrated last fall.
I have like 7 pairs of their Firehose pants in 6 different colors (and 2 materials- two are the 'Flex')- they're pretty much the only pants I wear these days. I love all the pockets and they're pretty sturdy- though I have had a problem where the material on the back of the inner thighs of the pants starts to wear through. The one pair that got too bad with that I moved to being my primary shop-work pants.
I had my first pair fail because the crotch seam started to fail (tip: zip the pants up and button them when you wash them...)- I called them up and they sent me a return shipping label and sent me out a replacement pair with no real questions asked. I may do the same with pair of green ones that are starting to wear through.
I also have their lifetime-warranty leather belt. I tended to go through a belt a year just from wear and tear, and it's showing no signs at all of wearing out. It cost several times what I usually paid for belts but it looks like it will be well worth the money.
I have a pair of their ball-room underwear and honestly was not that impressed- their not UNcomfortable, just not nearly as comfortable as some other pairs that I have... they just didn't live up to the hype.
Oh man. I know where I am going on my next work trip to Blue Ash.
