Hasta La Ideas

The thing on Duluth’s website/catalog that draws the most attention from me is their copious use of fire hose canvas.

It’s stain-resistant, tougher than duck canvas and their customer testimonial section has insane things to say about the material, from withstanding a wild boar attack (WTF?) to a marine construction worker who wears it over his wetsuit as an anti-chafing measure while doing underwater welding.
