But while Duluth Trading Company has the rugged wear down, Mainstream has the fitted suits for those late night soirees at the other end of the spectrum. There is an enormous selection of shirts and coats, but you'll be in good hands for a full fitted suit that will remind of Duluth's days as boomtown. The store has been around for years in the city's downtown, and your suit will prove that some things never go out of style.
