O.k., now we have a comparison. The Duluth Trading T-shirts while
very nice are nothing like as thick and heavy weight nor long lasting
or sewn as well as the Costco T-shirts. I know because we have both.
Stitching is often incomplete on the Duluth shirts and the fabric is
not is heavy But you get to pay what? 20 to more than 30 bucks for
one T-shirt. But, of course, they come in beautiful colors and there
are clever ads on TV about them. You don't show your ass with either
T-shirt. Speaking of dust rags. I wish the damn things would wear
out. I cut the shoulder out of a couple to wear after my shoulder
surgery back in 2010 and the shirts are as thick as ever and really
almost unwieldy for something like dusting, better suited to scrubbing
floors or tubs or cars.
