The Common Denominator of Success in Work Clothes: G&L Clothes & Carhartt
Execlusive Summary by Wayne Messick 

Behind their website is a real clothing store with a sales staff of real people. G&L Clothing has been serving customers in downtown Des Moines, Iowa for almost 90 years.

G&L Clothing is the first company we're publishing.

G&L Clothing is located in Des Moines, Iowa and has been an institution of downtown Des Moines for nearly nine decades. After a fire destroyed our previous location, we built our current store at 1801 Ingersoll

Ave and moved in on October 1st, 1996.

In 2000, continuing to expand, they purchased another building behind their store to increase their warehouse space and provide more offices for their growing online and commercial businesses.

G&L dates back to 1917, when Lou Garsh and Meyer Levine first opened their doors. They sold work clothing, shoes and boots to railroaders, construction workers, farmers and tradesmen. Today, G&L Clothing is owned the Marcovis family and serves working men and women throughout Iowa
and the world!

According to Justin Schoen, Director Online Sales & Operations, "Our store sells work, casual and
dress clothing in regular, big and tall sizes from brands like Carhartt, Dickies, Levi's®, Dockers®, Wrangler,

Savane and more. Our huge selection of Carhartt has made us one the nation's largest independent retailer and the largest Carhartt outlet in the Midwest!"

There are some pictures of G&L Clothing and their massive inventory of Carhartt, Dickies, Levi's, Wrangler and more on their eCommerce web site.

As you can see when you visit their web site, G&L carries jeans, causal pants, work pants and dress slacks pants from 26 inches to 80 inches in size; and sweatshirts, t-shirts, jackets and coats from size medium to 10X big and 5X tall.

Over the years we've profiled seventy five companies like G&L Clothing - companies from about thirty industries averaging forty years old.

Overview of Carhartt Work Pants
Executive Summary by Trevor R. Price 

If you're looking for a pair of durable and rugged work pants, Carhartt pants may be your first choice. The American company (all clothes are union-made) has produced work clothing for rail workers, miners, lumber workers and more since 1889.
But, despite their noble beginnings and strong union ethic, are their clothes any good? For a broad overview of Carhartt, keep reading.

Pants Price Point
For specialty pants like waders, you can expect to pay between $65 and $125.
Heavier items like matching jackets or insulated pants will often cost more thanks to the additional materials, insulation and weight. Because Carhartts are made for work wear, they tend to be very stiff and almost industrial-feeling. The stitching is double stitched, the material is heavy weight and the pants are not comfortable however. To fix the problem, try running your new pants through a few wash cycles. 

Quality and Durability
In short, these pants are some of the most rugged and durable available today. If you work a rigorous or labor-focused job, these pants are a great choice with their heavy-weight material and double stitching.
Product Style
While Carhartt may have its fashion-forward streetwear line, their work clothes are clearly made for work.
