ripstop technical

"DuluthFlex® ripstop material construction offers super-strong stretch"

Ripstop is a woven fabric technique that embeds a grid of stronger threads to prevent small tears from spreading, like a net sewn into cloth that contains damage. For investors, ripstop signals product durability and quality that can affect returns through brand reputation, warranty costs, and material or manufacturing choices; it can influence pricing, customer satisfaction, and supply-chain considerations for companies selling gear or textiles.

upf-rated technical

"look for breathable, UPF-rated fabrics to block the burn"

UPF-rated describes clothing or fabric that has been tested and assigned an Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) score showing how much ultraviolet (UV) radiation the material blocks; higher UPF numbers mean the fabric lets through less UV. The rating comes from standardized lab tests and matters to investors because UPF labels affect product positioning, consumer demand, and regulatory compliance in apparel and textile markets—similar to how an SPF label shapes the sunscreen market.

waterproof membranes technical

"Three-layer waterproof membranes at the knees provide extra protection"

Sheets or layered materials designed to stop water from passing through roofs, walls, foundations or other building elements; they act like a raincoat for a structure by creating a continuous barrier that channels water away and prevents leaks, dampness and corrosion. For investors, waterproof membranes matter because they are a recurring, regulated part of construction and maintenance markets, affecting product demand, warranty risk and liability exposure for builders and manufacturers.

neoprene technical

"The Neoprene Knee Pad Inserts are a great option"

Neoprene is a durable, synthetic rubber made from petroleum-based chemicals that resists water, oils, heat and many chemicals; think of it as a waterproof, tough fabric used where flexibility and protection are needed. Investors care because neoprene’s price, availability and manufacturing costs affect margins and supply chains for makers of industrial goods, protective clothing, seals and hoses, and shifts in demand or raw-material costs can alter revenue and profit trends.

MOUNT HOREB, Wis., Sept. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gardening season remains in its prime from late summer to early fall. From harvesting peak-flavored heirloom tomatoes to planting cool season vegetables, like cabbage, radicchio and radishes, ample time remains in the growing season. While seasonal gardening chores look different across USDA hardiness zones, Duluth Trading Co. (Duluth), a leading brand in garden apparel, offers a wide range of apparel, accessories and gear to keep gardeners ready in all conditions.

“Experienced gardeners know their work is more than just a summer commitment, and we’re ready to see them through the seasons,” said Ricker Schlecht, SVP of Product Development at Duluth Trading. “We’ve taken influences from our fan-favorite Heirloom Gardening Bibs to create a full Heirloom Gardening collection with versatile layers to suit all gardeners, no matter where they garden.”

America’s favorite gardening bibs expand into a full apparel collection

Duluth debuted its best-selling Heirloom® Gardening Bib Overalls a decade ago, and gardeners quickly fell in love with the material and features. The bib’s signature DuluthFlex® ripstop material construction offers super-strong stretch and a brush-clean finish, aiding in a 4.7-star rating from over 3,800 online reviews. With its growing testimonials and ongoing print drops, the Duluth Heirloom Bibs have kept fan attention, while also becoming a favorite gift for gardeners. This month, the anticipated seasonal print drop leads with Deep Lake Floral, featuring a repeating flower pattern in autumnal red and orange shades, set against a jewel-toned teal blue.

Continuing its pioneering legacy in garden apparel, Duluth is now offering its fans a complete line of Heirloom Gardening clothing, engineered for how gardeners move and work. Key styles in the Heirloom Gardening Collection® include:

• Heirloom® Gardening 7” Short Overalls: A short-length version of the best-selling bibs best for keeping cool when temperatures and humidity rise.
• Heirloom® Gardening Overall Dress: The coverage of overalls and the ease of a dress, with 10 total pockets for every tool, snack and trinket.
• Heirloom® Gardening Long-Sleeve Coveralls: A timeless coverall silhouette for tasks and cooling temperatures that require more coverage.
• Heirloom® Gardening Pants: Three-layer waterproof membranes at the knees provide extra protection when kneeling, while cinchable hems easily convert to joggers or capris.
• Heirloom® Gardening Overshirt: Lightweight, button-front layer with a 3M™ Scotchgard™ finish to repel water and soil.
• Heirloom® Gardening Vest: A versatile, zip-front top layer with 10 functional pockets to keep supplies in quick reach.
• Kids’ Heirloom® Gardening Bib Overalls: A junior version of the best-selling adult bib overalls.
  

What should I consider when buying garden gear or clothing?

1. Materials and fits that extend performance: Regular clothes are not often built for the frequent kneeling, crouching, and overhead reaching common while gardening. Duluth-exclusive features, like Crouch Gusset®, provide movement and built-in stretch. Unlike standard apparel, gardening clothing includes dedicated features like reinforced knees (with slots for pads) and convertible harvesting pouches.
2. Maximum comfort and protection for the task at hand: We recommend starting with a pair of overalls or high-waisted pants as they provide bottom coverage while you crouch, bend or stoop. Heat and UV rays can still pose concerns into early fall, so for skin protection, look for breathable, UPF-rated fabrics to block the burn. Specialized sleeves and gloves provide extra defense against thorns and squash vines, while long-sleeved layers are great for crisper temperatures that may be emerging in your growing zone.
3. Smart pocketing to handle tools and gear with ease: On many Duluth products, specialized pockets are engineered to keep your pruners, tools and other supplies secure. Utility pockets are also reinforced with "bottom-tucked" seams to stop sharp tools from poking through. Specialized loops keep your pruners at the ready and zippered security pockets prevent you from dropping your phone.
4. Extended and Plus Sizing: Clothes that fit well, perform well. Since gardeners come in all builds, Duluth Trading offers an extended size range from XXS to 3X with Regular and Plus fits. The range of inseams further delivers the perfect fit.
5. Add comfort and protection with accessories: Many Duluth pants and overalls have built-in knee pad pockets to provide extra cushioning when kneeling in the garden. The Neoprene Knee Pad Inserts are a great option for lightweight protection. Quality gardening gloves are another smart choice to protect against scratches, scrapes, cracked hands and dirty fingernails. The Women’s Gauntlet Gardening Gloves have extra-long gauntlet cuffs that resist abrasions and punctions, while padding on the palms helps prevent blisters.
