TORTURE TEST
Introducing the
Crash Test Tote!
Made entirely of seat
belt webbing for super
toughness and wear
Seat belt
handles
wrap around
bottom of
bag for
super
strength
Walks away from any job site abuse.
Think of all the reckless handling, side swipes,
dragging, crushing and overloading your utility
bag takes on the job. What better material to
absorb all that than the same 5,000-lb. tensile
strength, crash-tested seat belt webbing you trust
your life to every day? We got ahold of the 1.2mm
industrial-strength polyester webbing used in car,
truck and van seat belts, and built this practically
indestructible utility bag out of it – even the
handles. Panels run continuously under the bag
from rim to rim, so there are no weak spots at the
bottom. Bottom is doubled in thickness, and we ran
webbing around the rim to stop fraying there. Last
but not least, we sewed it with 200-lb. test line. This
one’ll survive anything – so get one today and leave
those chintzy bags to the dummies. 171⁄2"W x 8"D x
161⁄2"H. Military green. Imported.

WHAT A DRAG – YET THIS BAG SURVIVED!
First we filled our Crash Test Tote with a whopping 180 lbs. of
sand. Then we dragged it by a rope behind a Chevy Silverado.
Most bags wouldn’t make it out of the parking lot, but ours took
over 2 miles of burning, punishing dragging on our gravelly local
country roads before one of the handles broke.
There were also horrific snarls of fabric and
holes in one side, but the bag still looked functional. To test it some more, we loaded it up with
a 350 small block V8 from a neighbor’s ’66
Chevy. Guess what? Up it
went on the hoist – still
able to tote over
250 lbs.!

TORTURE TEST
DO A HIGH KICK LIKE THIS WEARING
TOO-TIGHT JEANS? THAT’S TORTURE! Luckily
our black belt kickboxers Troy and Clint were
wearing Duluth F.O.M.™ (Freedom of Movement)
jeans, and did not scream in pain when practicing
their art. The easy fit and crotch gusset meant that
even when doing tornado and leopard kicks, ducks,
hooks and lifts, our jeans didn’t squeeze like a vise
where you wouldn’t want
them to.

“So comfortable, they felt like sweats,” said
Clint. “Plenty of room, very comfortable,”
said Troy. That was after they leaped,
whirled and kicked a 6-ft. high sandbag so
hard it almost hurt to watch. Our F.O.M.
(Freedom of Movement) non-restrictive
fit and built-in crotch gusset makes
gyrations like that possible. So you know
they’ll be comfortable when you stoop or
climb a ladder on the job. Waistband,

TORTURE TEST
TALK ABOUT A TWO-HEADED
MONSTER! Terry and Al improvised this torture test to vividly
show the strength of our suspenders. First, they stood back to
back while wearing the same
pair of suspenders. Then they
strained like bulls to pull
them apart. The winner?
Our best-selling Side Clip Suspenders!
Even after being yanked, pulled
and stretched to
Red
the max, neither
the straps nor the
industrial strength
side clips – not even
one stitch or seam – broke.
-
Side Clip Suspenders –
extra ease, extra strength
High cool factor. Feels more like wearing a shoulder holster
than suspenders. Full elastic 2"-wide straps criss-cross your
back and attach at the sides with industrial-strength hardware instead of the traditional two clips in front and two in
back. That means no clasps digging into your belly when
you sit, no rips in your car or truck seat either. They’ll do a
dandy job of holding up your pants, and won’t slack and
sag like overcooked spaghetti noodles. Give ’em a try.
They look great with a suit or blue jeans; not for holding
a heavy tool belt though. Available in red, navy, khaki,
black, port, cobalt and green. Made in USA or Imported.

because thinner is dressier. At 11⁄2"-wide, our Thin Side Clip
Suspenders are a half inch narrower than the originals. They’ll look
good church-goin’ or anywhere else. Straps criss-cross your back and
attach at the sides for comfort. Available in dark pine, khaki, bright

TORTURE TEST
“As the political advisor to a military brigade in Afghanistan,
I needed clothing that would put up with jumping in
and out of humvees, C-130s, and helicopters while
scampering around 27,000
square miles of some of the
toughest terrain I’ve ever
seen. Your jacket met the
challenge. Any jacket
that can be washed with
a rock and snow-melt,
slow down a sharp
knife, and still look
good is going to stay
in my wardrobe for
quite awhile.”

COULD OUR STORMSTOPPER JACKET
SURVIVE A HURRICANE? We
don’t know. We live in
Wisconsin. So we hooked up
one of those fat pumper
truck fire hoses and aimed
it at volunteer fireman
Dave, while he was wearing
our jacket. We used a powerful
13⁄4" attack line fire hose, capable
of producing 300psi, with a 2" combination nozzle (we dialed it back a
little so we wouldn’t break his
ribs). How did the jacket do?
One full minute of crushing
spray at 10 ft., yet the water didn’t
penetrate and Dave stayed dry!

drier performance and more wicking comfort than cotton
alone. Roomier raglan sleeves eliminate shoulder seams for
more comfort when you’re shouldering lumber. The finishing touch? Smarter-looking rib knit sleeve cuffs. Chancey
liked this shirt so much, he also wore it out on the town in
Phenix City – which gets pretty hot on a Friday night too.

up to 500 lbs.
Hmmm, we’ll see
about THAT, we said! But this herculean
little stool did not let us (or our Volvo) down.
Four Walkstools, unaided, held up a
car. Now that’s amazing!
Could our Walkstools support a 2-ton Volvo? Yes!
We asked the boss if we could use HIS car for the test. Of course, he
declined. His fancy sedan wasn’t being hoisted anywhere. So we asked the
next boss down, and the next. No one wanted to risk their car. Oh, ye of
little faith! Our Walkstool is rated up to 500 lbs. – and it turns out it easily
supported the Volvo we ended up using. Meaning it’ll support any guy who
ever sits down on it and probably holds a LOT more than we claim! Even
big guys will marvel at the comfort of the triangular nylon fabric seat and
how well balanced it is. The size of the seat increases as you go from the
18" to the 22" to the 26" height, adding stability. This compact stool is the
only one with two-position telescoping legs that has two heights: one for
work in low positions, the other at fully extended height. In anodized
aluminum, it weighs less than 30 oz. It’s a lifesaver on the job site, taking
pressure off your knees and joints. Includes drawcord carrying bag. Made in Sweden.

TORTURE TEST
How torturous could it be to carry
around a bunch of money?! Well,
more than you’d think. We’ll let
John explain. “You have seriously
underestimated the strength of
this bag,” he wrote. “I’m a coin
collector and numismatics dealer.
I’ve carried 221 lbs. of silver, gold
and platinum rounds in this bag, and
it shows no wear and tear. Folks at coin shows and banks
see this bag and go right out and buy it. I think it’s the best
product in your catalog.”

Canvas Tote is worth its

Test it yourself and see!
Call it cargo, gear or more honest, junk. Whatever
you put in it, you can carry a half ton of it around
in this, the toughest bag of its kind. Heavy-duty
24-oz. canvas is the same kind used in army tents
and shop awnings. Double-thick cotton web
handles and double-thick bottom – this baby is
NOT gonna blowout. Rated to 100 lbs., but the

TORTURE TEST
TESTED ON THE FLY!
Skydiving veteran and
product manager Angela
dropped this cell phone
holster while parachuting back
to earth. Interestingly, its
rocket-fast trip back to
terra firma didn’t destroy
it on impact. In fact, it did
no damage whatsoever.
More of a surprise, the
phone also survived, working perfectly post-fall! Perhaps we
need a more destructive test.
Fire Hose Leather Holster survives
free fall – and so does the phone inside
This durable, handsome oiled cowhide phone holster is trimmed out in Fire Hose canvas and takes a beating on the job site or being dropped from great heights. Rustproof
brass hardware. Elastic gussets let you get your phone in and out easier. Brass belt clip
fits belts up to 1" wide, or attach it with permanent the belt loop. Fits flip phones
measuring 21⁄2"W x 11⁄2"D x 43⁄4"H or less. Brown. Imported.

WE CRAMMED ALMOST A
CASE OF BEER IN THIS LUNCH

A full day in the July heat while
framing a buddy’s new cabin up
north? That’s gonna work up a
powerful post-workday thirst.

Louie’s Lunch Box holds

Dedicated to my old contractor friend, Louie, who always
complained about wimpy lunch boxes. Ours is 1200-denier
super-duty polyester, with enough room to hold breakfast,
lunch and dinner. Includes an upper food and snack compartment and a bottom sealed cold drink compartment that holds
two liter bottles of water or a 6-pack. Exterior pockets hold
silverware, salt, pepper and Tabasco sauce. Two 4"W x 51⁄2"L
reusable ice packs and shoulder strap. Louie’s Lunch Box is

BUT WILL IT PULL A JEEP OUT OF
A SNOWBANK? We asked our pal
Mark to plow his Jeep into a huge
pile of December snow. Of course he
could’ve got out on his own, but we
wanted to pull him out, using our
Lifetime Belt as the tow rope. It
stretched, it strained – but the jeep
was in too deep. Mark backed it out
a bit. This time it worked! Didn’t
break even after we towed Mark’s
jeep twenty feet or so down the

Indestructible Water Bottle
survives Niagara Falls! (We think.)
Duluth customer and Niagara Falls resident Steve U. tossed this
tough little 1L bottle – built for use on construction sites – over
the edge of Niagara Falls and into the hammering punishment
below. Because we wanted to see if the lightweight yet rugged
100% aluminum construction and leakproof screw-on sport cap could
handle some REALLY hard knocks. (If it could endure the 175-ft.
drop, the next test would be the lower Niagara River with some of
the most dangerous rapids in the world.) “And endure it did!” Steve
reported. “I actually saw the bottle shoot through the gap and out
into the lower pool. IT’S ON ITS WAY!!!!” Where is our blue test
bottle now? Is it still in one piece? Stay tuned. 31⁄8" Diameter x 11"H.
Available in matte black and high visibility blue. Imported.

Peaches O’ Reilly’s Sunblock Hat
Peaches was our guide as we rushed down the Colorado River in the midday
sun, wetting our pants in more ways than one. He wore a hat like this one, to
protect his creamy Irish complexion. It has an ultra-wide, 4" brim for maximum
sun protection, and side vents on the crown to keep you cool as you sweat.
Sweat-band wicks away perspiration – nice when you’re in a precarious
situation. And it has a locking chinstrap that keeps it on during fast descents
and high winds. Incredibly lightweight too, so you can jam it in your
pocket or pack. Why the nickname Peaches?

Khaki
The Crusher bounces
back even after being
steamrolled!
This hat can be crushed, stuffed, folded,
put in your pocket, stashed in a
bag, all without worrying about
how it will look afterwards. The
flexible brim and sides are constructed
in a way that even after being crushed, it
bounces back to a structured refined hat. The
mesh-sided crown assures that your head will be kept
cool even on the warmest days. The top of the crown
and 3" brim are solid fabric to protect you from the
sun’s rays. If only you bounced back to shape as easily!
Available in khaki, fatigue green and steel blue.
Imported.

MAN, THAT’S ONE FLAT HAT!
Our Crusher looked like one of
Mom’s pancakes after the
14,750-lb. Bomag Compactor
with its 4-ton roller ran over it
at Wingra Stone Company. But
it wasn’t one bit damaged. And
popped right back into its usual
jaunty shape. So we know it’ll
surely survive your most
adventurous travels!
The “Fettler”
A British haberdasher might say this belt “fettles” you,
meaning it spiffs you up, adds the finishing touch (The term
originally meant to remove mold marks from a casting –
same idea, hey?). Full-grain cowhide with a rich, inlaid panel
of colorful handwoven cotton. Solid brass buckle. 11⁄4" wide.
Available in even waist sizes 32"-50". For best fit, order one
size larger than your waist size. Brown. Imported.
