Duluth Trading Co. is introducing a proprietary tool called Duluth Custom Built that gives shoppers the freedom to create their very own custom pairs of DuluthFlex Fire Hose work pants.

The platform for building custom pants that are durable and rugged focuses on taking users through a seven-step process to create a bespoke fit with more than 350 waist and inseam combinations. The tool gives shoppers the option to choose slim, standard or relaxed fits and details like pockets, utility loops and hem reinforcements for the utmost function.
