What are your other favorite brands? What else do you find parts for to keep running? What else do you pick up from the curb? What do you get excited about when you find one second hand? What else do you carefully repaint the logo on? What do you restore and proudly display on your deck or elsewhere?
For me, it's old Craftsman tools, Lionel trains, and then Danner/Red Wing/Allen Edmonds shoes and boots kind of tied in third.
I've got better working tools, but there is something about the Craftsman history that generally makes these my go-to.
As far as the trains, everything else is a knockoff.
The made in the USA shoes can all go back to the factories they were made in for restoration when they need it. Something about sending a shoe "home" when it needs attention appeals to me.
