Washington, D.C. 20549 Re: Duluth Holdings Inc. Form 10-K for Fiscal Year Ended February 2, 2025 Annual Report to Security Holders for Fiscal Year Ended February 2, 2025 Item 2.02 Form 8-K dated December 16, 2025 File No. 001-37641 Dear Ms. Franks and Ms. Lumley: On behalf of Duluth Holdings Inc. (the “Company”), we are providing the following response to the comment letter from the staff (the “Staff”) of the Division of Corporation Finance of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) dated January 21, 2026. Annual Report to Security Holders for Fiscal Year Ended February 2, 2025 2024 Performance Review Financial Results 1. Please reconcile Adjusted Diluted EPS, a non-GAAP financial measure presented here and under Summary of Financial Performance, to its most directly comparable GAAP measure. Refer to Item 100(a) of Regulation G. Response: We respectfully acknowledge the Staff’s comment and we advise that in future annual reports to security holders, we will include a table that reconciles any non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP measure, including any reconciliations required in our Annual Report to Security Holders for Fiscal Year Ended February 1, 2026. By way of example, the following is a reconciliation of Adjusted Diluted EPS that was included in our earnings release furnished as part of the Current Report on Form 8-K, dated March 11, 2025. DULUTH HOLDINGS INC. Reconciliation of Net Loss to Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted Net Loss to Adjusted EPS (Unaudited) Three Months Ended Twelve Months Ended February 2, 2025 February 2, 2025 (in thousands, except per share amounts) Amount Per share Amount Per share Net loss attributable to controlling interest $ (5,586 ) $ (0.17 ) $ (43,671 ) $ (1.31 ) Plus: Restructuring expenses — — 7,748 0.23 Plus: Impairment expenses 2,998 0.09 2,998 0.09 Income tax effect of adjustments to net loss (690 ) (0.02 ) (2,472 ) (0.07 ) Adjusted net loss before valuation allowance (3,278 ) (0.10 ) (35,397 ) (1.06 ) Plus: Valuation allowance 1,796 0.05 11,847 0.36 Adjusted net loss attributable to controlling interest $ (1,482 ) $ (0.04 ) $ (23,550 ) $ (0.71 ) Item 2.02 Form 8-K dated December 16, 2025 Duluth Holdings Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results Duluth Holdings Inc. Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted EPS, page 9 2. We note your non-GAAP adjustment labeled “tax valuation allowance” reflected in your Adjusted Net Income reconciliation. Please tell us what the adjustment represents, the reasons for excluding the changes in your tax valuation from the measure and why management believes the adjustment is meaningful and appropriate. In addition, please tell us how the adjustment is consistent with Questions 100.01 and 102.11 of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures Compliance & Disclosure Interpretations. Response: The “tax valuation allowance” adjustment represents a discrete, non-cash charge recorded to establish a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets. We record net deferred tax assets to the extent we believe these assets will more likely than not be realized. A valuation allowance is established if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax asset will not be realized. The Company considers this a discrete adjustment rather than a reflection of the Company’s ongoing performance. It also does not preclude our business from utilizing the underlying tax credits for which the valuation allowance was established. Management believes excluding this discrete tax item is meaningful because it allows investors to evaluate the Company’s core results on a basis consistent with prior periods and provides better visibility into the underlying tax rate associated with normalized operations. As noted above, the “tax valuation allowance” is not a normal operating expense, but rather an allowance we have recognized on an infrequent basis. Accordingly, under Question 100.01 of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures Compliance & Disclosure Interpretations, we do not view the adjustment as misleading. We also view the “tax valuation allowance” adjustment as consistent with Question 102.11 of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures Compliance & Disclosure Interpretations because the adjustment does not impact taxes paid in cash. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to further simplify our non-GAAP presentation and enhance consistency with the Staff’s guidance, we will exclude the ‘tax valuation allowance’ as an adjustment in our Adjusted Net Income reconciliation in future filings and press releases. The Company acknowledges that it is responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of its disclosures. We believe these responses address the Staff’s comments. Please contact the undersigned at with any further questions. Sincerely, /s/ Heena K. Agrawal Heena K. Agrawal Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Duluth Holdings, Inc.

(the “Company”) in response to comments from the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) received in a letter dated December 13, 2016 relating to the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2016, as filed with the Commission on April 8, 2016 (the “Form 10-K”). ● Form 10-K for Fiscal Year Ended January 31, 2016 ● Consolidated Financial Statements Note 7. Segment Reporting, page 62 1. Staff Comment: On page 8, you discuss your product assortment. Please disclose in a footnote your revenues from external customers by product for each period presented as required by ASC 280-10-50-40 Response: ASC 280-10-50-40 states, “a public entity shall report the revenues from external customers for each product and service or each group of similar products and services unless it is impracticable to do so. The amounts of revenues reported shall be based on financial information used to produce the public entity’s general-purpose financial statements. If providing the information is impracticable, the fact shall be disclosed.” In preparing the Form 10-K, the Company took into consideration ASC 280-10-50-40 and concluded that it was impractical to provide this information based on the financial information used to produce its general purpose financial statements. Specifically, the Company’s general ledger system (the “GL”) used to prepare the financial statements does not track revenues at a product level. The Company does track revenues at the product level through its management reporting system (“MRS”), which operates separately from the Company’s GL system. However, the MRS does not provide information that would be in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Tracking revenues at the product level would require OFFICES IN MILWAUKEE, MADISON, WAUKESHA, GREEN BAY AND APPLETON, WISCONSIN AND WASHINGTON, D.C.

Securities and Exchange Commission December 22, 2016 Page 2 implementation of complex GL system enhancements, which the Company believes would be costly and time-consuming, and would only provide information of marginal use to users of its financial statements commensurate with such costs. Further, attributes such as shipping revenue, returns reserve and deferred revenue are not applied at the product level by either the GL or the MRS, but instead are recorded in the GL in the aggregate. The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and will disclose in future filings that it is impracticable to provide revenue information by product category due to system limitations. ******** Should the Staff have additional questions or comments regarding the foregoing, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned at (414) 287-9258.
