Darn Tough
Merino wool hiking and everyday socks knit in Vermont, USA. Blended with nylon and Lycra for a snug, seamless fit.
Red Wing
Goodyear-welted leather work boots with a cap toe and Vibram sole, made from Red Wing's own tanned leather in Minnesota.
Allen Edmonds
A full-grain leather dress belt from Allen Edmonds, worn daily alongside dress shoes.
Sorel
Insulated winter snow boots from Sorel's classic lineup, built for cold and wet conditions. Vintage pairs made in Canada before Columbia's 2000 acquisition are widely regarded as the durable version; current production is reported to wear out much faster.
Surprisingly, a brand I always end up buying is Old Navy... Stick to the 100% cotton or linen products... still holding up 5+ years later
Ive also had some of my old navy tops for 10 years.
