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.

Filco Majestouch keyboard. I've been programming on mine for over 5 years.

It probably won't outlast my IBM Model M, but it does feel lighter on the fingers.

It might actually outlast your Model M. The membranes on the Model M seems to be the thing that has died for me (after like 20+ years mind you). I frequently still use my Leopold from 2009 and its rock solid.

GoRuck backpacks. I bought mine a decade ago and it still has impeccable quality.

Unfortunately they've outsourced to Vietnam. I can attest I have several USA made go ruck packs ... and they do still sell a few like that. But they've mostly outsourced; YMMV.

Red Wing boots (only the classic ones). I've had my Iron Rangers for ~~6 years~~ edit: 7 years now as my primary pair of non-athletic footwear. Occasional brush with a bit of conditioner and they look and feel amazing with no signs of slowing down. Will be replacing the sole when it eventually wears out but the original minilug is still going strong

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.
