So far, Gorilla brand stuff has been good.

Have yet to wear out a Honda.

Madewell jeans are actually made well.

Smartwool socks. I replaced mine this year because they were getting holes, the ones I was replacing were purchased in 2014 and I wore them daily, had enough pairs to last a week, washed them weekly, they lasted ten years.

Not a brand but cast iron skillets. Some of mine are over 30, they will last essentially forever. And get a big knife you can sharpen, mine wasn't even a good brand and lasted almost 30 years.

If you think smartwool is good, you should check out darn tough socks. Those things are amazing, and come with a lifetime warranty

Smartwool enshitified by dropping their warranty to two years. Used to be able to take an old pair to my outfitter and pick out a new set, no questions.

Like the other user said, check out DT. EZPZ replacement.
