Fire Hose 100% cotton canvas makes them incredibly durable yet soft, with a prewashed, broken-in feel right out of the box. They repel water and stains, thanks to the FendOff Finish™ fabric treatment.

So comfortable, easy to wear and fuss-free, you can Work From Anywhere in them, or just relax and forget about work altogether. The lightweight, easy-moving 70% nylon/30% spandex fabric is the perfect live in 'em fabric for anytime.

Be very careful!! Wash them, do not dry them. I loved everything about the 5 pairs I bought but they shrink tremendously! Either buy them a size big and deal with them being loose until they shrink to fit or make sure you don't do anything in the laundering process to cause shrinkage.

Apparently they are made of the same material as fire hoses, supposed to be very rugged, and offer a guarantee that they won't rip or tear. S was in love with the concept and begged for a pair for his birthday back in September. I obliged.

The pants have held up remarkable well to the work I put them thru here on the ranch, kept me warm on 0 degree days, are super comfortable and are the the best true to fit pants I have ever worn. I'm 6'2" 180 lb and the 32x34 fit me perfectly. Thanks Duluth!!

Water repellency is a step up from water resistance, which means water cannot easily penetrate the material. Instead, water beads on the outside. The technical term for this is “hydrophobic”. You can also enhance the water repellency of a fabric with impregnation coatings.

Cotton Cotton is the world's most comfortable fabric due to its exceptional breathability, weightlessness, and softness. It is also the most used fabric of all time. Equally important, the fabric makes various types of clothing that you can use to appear formal and focused in your meetings.

Washing fabrics, such as cotton, linen or wool, too vigorously can cause the fibers to tighten together and yield a shrunken garment. Hot water washing cycles and high-heat dryer settings can also damage the fabric and cause shrinkage.

"The easiest, quickest way to shrink denim is to wash and dry them on the hottest temperatures possible - similar to the way that washing your favorite sweater in hot water and putting it in the dryer is something you try to avoid because it will shrink."

So you won't gap at the waist. And one in the front that's a key keeper. Another reason these pants are tough we use that same fire hose in the waistband. And we reinforce the cuffs.

Fire Hose® Work Pants were already made of the same 2x2 canvas weave that once wrapped fire hoses. Now you can grab the on-the-job-tested durability of our famous cargo pants in 11-oz. 88% cotton/12% nylon canvas that offers NFPA-compliant flame-resistant protection.
