Rugged Wear

"The very best of the American small business spirit. An honest and knowledgeable hard working family owns and operates this fine establishment. My wife, sons and I drive from Salem to buy all of our work gear - plus some of our casual clothes - here. For the cool factor alone, check out the masculine soaps and lifetime warrantied boot laces. Truly great selection of hats, gloves, socks, jackets, pants and shirts cover all seasons. A treasure trove of the finest quality products available to the working man and woman."

"This is a great store that always has what I’m looking for. It’s got all of the Carhartt shirts I need in Tall, hoodies, jackets and more, in stock. They carry a great selection of work boots, Danner, Red Wing, Georgia, etc. I can usually find a size 14 here, if not they can get it quickly. The staff is knowledgeable, helpful and are all around good guys. It’s nice to have a local spot that has everything you’re looking for!"

"I want to take this opportunity to share my experience with this company and Allen, who’s the owner. He is a great man, best customer service by far, made it right for a factory mix up and took care the situation. From here on out you have gained a returning customer for all my work wear and boots. Thanks for the outstanding customer support. I'll be back, Bob Ritson"

"Tha staff is always friendly and helpful and their prices are reasonable. Good selection of work pants. I usually buy 5 to 10 pair of pants at a time so they have to order them and every time it's been less than a week when I pick them up. You guys are great, keep up the good work. Thank you."

"My dad is retired and loves working outside on different projects. I wanted to find him the perfect jacket that would keep him warm and comfortable while also being durable enough to last with him crawling under vehicles and scraping up against stuff. I looked online, but couldn’t figure out what would be the best product for what I needed. I stopped by Rugged Wear and was welcomed the moment I walked in. This is a store owned by a couple local guys and their sons. One of the son’s saw me looking and asked what I was needing. I explained what I was looking for and he was able to point me to a couple option right away, he even helped me guess my dads size. He was very knowledgeable, able to explain the differences between lines and features of different products. I ended up picking a newly released carhart canvas jacket with fleece lining. My dad absolutely loves the jacket and I see him wearing it all the time. I do a lot of shopping online these days, but with comparable prices and far better service, I will be returning to Rugged Wear whenever I need any work clothes."
