Good “Buy for Life” Brands (lemmy.zip)

Some that come to mind are:

Benchmade - knives Darn Tough - socks Carhartt - good work gear Doc martens - footwear

What are some good reputable brands that you have had for 5 years + with little to no issues or with a lifetime warranty.

Winter Jacket - Klim I bought my jacket with the intent of never having to purchase another one. After speaking with many friends and the sales people at my local motorcycle/snowmobile shop, the consensus was a snowmobile jacket would last.

I chose Klim and have had this jacket since 2016 with no tears or rips. I did have an issue with the zipper but they replaced the entire zipper for free within the last few months.

I will recommend Klim brand jackets for a forever jacket. They are expensive though.

For socks I was introduced to Feetures and stand by them 100%. I can't speak for life yet, but I've had them over a year and they still feel like new. I've also never had a sock that fit my foot properly until I got Feetures.

Mission workshop bags. I love mine, it looks as good today as when I got it.

The Body Buffer by Manscaped. I don’t like any of their other stuff but my goodness that scrubber is legit. Easy to clean, doesn’t harbor bacteria, easy to grip, very durable, and it creates a nice lather

It's American Eagle for me. Their pants have lasted me for longer than any other brand that I've worn regularly. Also, I don't have to adjust them because they just fit.

I think they were made on contract, but I got a pair of hiking/work boots almost 35 years ago and aside from the slightest rash on the toe-caps they look perfect. If I knew the brand I'd buy shoes and belts all day.
