The e-tailing trend continues in Central Oklahoma, with on-line merchandiser Duluth Trading Company set to open a physical store in West Oklahoma City.

The company that advertises heavily and does big volumes in work apparel and related clothing mainly through its website has begun to complement those sales by expanding their physical footprint.

Plans have been filed to construct a 15,329 square foot store in the Westgate Marketplace, on an empty lot just to the west of Dick's Sporting Goods.

Founded as a catalog operation, Duluth describes itself as “a lifestyle brand for the modern, self-reliant American, offering high-quality, solution-based apparel for men and women who lead a hands-on lifestyle”. Known for its quirky, fun advertisements and marketing, the company strives to offer customers an engaging and entertaining experience, online and in stores.

The company bills its retail locations as a “store like no other” and its products are backed by a No Bull Guarantee. It often celebrates store openings with professional lumberjack demonstrations that reflect the chain’s focus on rugged apparel. The shows include ax throwing and chainsaw carving.

Duluth was founded in 1989 and since a 2015 IPO has been growing its store portfolio with 20+ stores and 2 outlets.

The company is headquarted in Mount Horeb, Wisconsin.

Nice.... I've always wanted to try their product but clothes is one thing I don't like to order online.

Wow, you just made my day. I was recently in Sioux Falls SD but was unable to make it to the store. (found it by eating at a place across the street). That is the first time I knew that they had stores. I love their stuff, and by the way was just looking at their latest mailing. Thanks for the heads up.

Any idea when they expect to open?

Just filed their building permit so probably not until the end of the year if not later.

outstanding - they make great stuff.

I deleted a bunch of political comments and retorts.

Save that stuff for the Politics forum, please.

Very excited about this - their t-shirts are extra long and great quality from our experience.

They have brick and mortar all up here in MN. They have some oddball stuff but their underwear lives up to the ads. Great stores

Yea! Yahoo! Glad to learn of this. The nearest one is in Kansas City.

I like their clothing a lot.

Me too. Their commercials are catchy and I've wanted to try but unless I have an exact copy in hand, I don't buy online. I have a relatively small frame so some sizes I sit between depending on the manufacturer and materials.

I’ve been thinking about customizing some of their firehose cargo pants for motorcycle wear but wanted to inspect and try on a pair first, so might wait until the store opens.

It’s funny; a few months ago I spent some time on their site because of this, and so fairly often since then I have seen online ads for Duluth. But now that this thread is on OKCTalk the Duluth ads are CONSTANT, despite the fact that I haven’t been to the site recently. :)

They have already started grading work. That's Dick's to the right.

Really can't wait for them to get opened here.... Went ahead and broke one of my rules and ordered clothes from them online and so far only been disappointed in the fit of the long sleeve cooling shirts.... Really love the fire hose pants and Armachillo cooling underwear. Can't wait to check out some of their other products I want to try.

Any updates on opening?

Any updates on opening?

They have posted jobs and will have a job fair Sept 5-8.

Their website says the OKC location will open this fall.

Their fire hose 5 pocket pants are worth the trip alone, although they aren't cheap. But for something solid and works well for work? I haven't found better.

Yep and I like the Armachillo underwear too.... Wicks away sweat very well.

I've always been interested in their products, but wanted to see them in person before pulling the trigger. I will definitely be going.

I bet they do very well here.

We've actually added a ton of new-to-market retailers in just the last year.

I'm the same but decided to go ahead and pull the trigger and bought some of the fire hose pants and underwear... I love them!

Only problem is I bought the fire hose pants a size bigger than what I was wearing at the time so they would be even more comfortable working in on the farm and I've since lost 40 lbs..... So by the time it's cool enough to wear them again I'm going to have to get suspenders to keep them on!

Or find someone the size I was to buy them so I can get some new ones. Because I think they will last a life time.

Since I am built like their Spokesmodel, I will defiantly be hitting this store up.

Same. I’ve been looking at the Firehose pants online for years in hopes that I could have a tailor convert them to zip-off leg, add Kevlar lining and armor and make them into armored motorcycle touring pants that could double as normal-looking cargo shorts when off the bike. But I’m stuck on high-center because I can’t touch/try them on.

And before some asks why I don’t just buy some pants like I just described, already made, I’ve been searching for them for years. Find me some and I’ll buy you a couple cases of beer.

Well if you happen to wear size 42/30... I have three pair I'd be interesting in selling for less than I paid for them so I can update to a size that fits my new girlish figure a little better.

Can't get open soon enough.... I need more underwear!

Tmi

How do we find out when it opens?

Waist size is correct but I am a bit longer legged. Also trying to lose some weight to get Doctors and my Dear Wife, off my back. I will hit this store up. I do not like online shopping. Too old to buy a pig in the poke.

They are very close to opening.

I peeked inside and all the fixtures and signage are in place; just waiting to stock merchandise.

Duluth will open November 1st.

They are open now as a soft
Opening.

Yes, went by today and they have quietly opened ahead of the official Nov. 1st grand opening.

Hours are M-SA 8A-8P and Sun 11A-5P.

They hand you a $10 off coupon for any purchase over $50. I bought a really nice quality sweater. Their stuff is not inexpensive but It all looks and feels like high-quality merchandise.

There clothes aren't cheap but they stand behind them. I had some underwear that had holes in them after 6 months and they were replaced without issue. I tore a pair of their Firehose pants and they sent me a new pair. All returns were no questions asked and they didn't ask to see the damaged clothing. I was told to just dispose of them. Their warranty is much like Eddie Bauer's. The customer is always right and full replacement guarantee.

That is what I used them for, I have a pair of black and blue pants in 42/32 that no longer fit since I have dropped about 80 pounds since I bought them during the liver transplant. I bought an Alaskan Hardgear coat a month ago at the one in Thornton to replace my way too big North Face. I wish they would build one in South Denver.

Since the OKC location is open now we may have to go there while we are back down there for Thanksgiving. If the 42/34 would work for you let me know, I could bring them down.

My advice is to join their email list.

Everyday prices are high, IMO, but I get daily emails of what's on sale, and those sale prices are, to me, so much better. For example, today their best long tail T Shirts are $12.00. I'll buy heavily at that price.

(Denver only) Not S Denver but l went to the new one at Colorado Mills in Golden today. May or may not be closer for you.

Stopped by today for the first time to one of their stores. I really liked their products. Was looking for a jacket and really liked about 5-6 of them ended up buying their “shirt jac” and some of their buck naked underwear (which is on sale for $15). I will certainly visit this store again. The employees are all great without being too pushy at all.

Went in with a friend who wanted to go on the way back from lunch, ended up with a garden tool sharpener, and saw the buck naked underwear - insane that it's $22.50 for *1* pair, friend said for that price they better put a smile on his face.

dang... at $22 bucks a pair, you might as well call the place victor's secret.

Yes but it also carries that famous guarantee so when I drag my old tattered boxer briefs back to their store in 10 years I'll get a new pair

dang... at $22 bucks a pair, you might as well call the place victor's secret.

Good one!

dang... at $22 bucks a pair, you might as well call the place victor's secret.

Except, the Models must look like their animated one.

dang... at $22 bucks a pair, you might as well call the place victor's secret.I haven’t been into the store for this reason. I can buy a lot of the underwear that I wear for $22. I can’t imagine what makes underwear worth that.

They go on sale every now and then.

Nope, probably take longer going across town. We live by E-470 & Smoky Hill and take the toll road around to 25. Then we usually head up to Loveland for BBQ at Nordy's.

lts the air breathing crouch gusset! No sweat, no stink, no pinch. Did Victoria 's Secret ever make that claim?? :)

I don't buy their underwear although working out in the heat it would probably be good. I have some hot weather underwear that I used for motorcycle riding in the Texas heat.
