Some that come to mind are:

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

I have good luck with Duluth products, I have shirts from 5 years ago that still look new.

A bit off the rails, since it’s not a particular brand. But anything leather (wallets, belts, pouches, etc). I’ve had my leather wallet for nearly 7 years, maybe more. I haven’t really taken care of it (though I should). It’s been through a lot, and it has held up so well. Leather also ages very well. Whether it’s scuffed or dented, it’ll still look good with added character. As long as you don’t lose it or cut it (and craftsmanship is good), you’ll probably have it for a very long time.

For cars Lexus, Honda, and Toyota are top-notch. Anything American made kind of sucks which is disappointing.

Been about 10 years now and my GoRuck gear doesn't even look used despite being carried any time I take a trip, which is quite often. Multiple continents, planes, trains, hiking, backpacking, etc. I'd say GoRuck (at least the American made stuff) is BIFL. knocks on wood

All-Clad stainless steel cookware. They can withstand a lot of abuse. Can handle high temperatures, up to 600F. Can handle rapid temperature change.

Not sure about their non stick cookware though.

Lodge cast iron cookware, any cast iron cookware actually.

Merrell, ~~Doc Martin~~, L. L. Bean, The North Face, Fjällräven for clothing and accessories.

Bullhidebelts makes some really nice authentic leather belts that actually last because they aren't those synthetic belts with leather veneer like Gucci, Luis Vutton, or others push for stupid high prices.

Logitech makes some good quality pc peripherals that have exceptional battery life.

Invicta has also impressed me in recent years with their watches. I was gifted a clone of the Rolex Submariner and it's a very good copy without the high price of a Rolex. It's been so good that most Rolex owners I've met buy an Invicta watch as a daily driver.

Edit: Seeing the comments a bunch mentioned Doc Martin as junk now, so I checked and they did get bought by a Chinese company, so maybe not those any more.
