Oddly, my first reaction to the branding thread was considering what brands I actually do wear and what it possibly says about me? In this phase of my life, I nearly never even think about it anymore beyond knowing what brands seem to fit best and offer styles I like. I love thrift store shopping for many reasons, but I think I have been ignoring the brands in favor of the fit, quality, and the great deal.
It's really making me pause and rethink what I wear everyday. Maybe that is a good thing.
Funny, I also shop for most of my stuff second hand, but I do have some brand loyalty in clothes. Lulu Lemon, for example, has been my go-to workout gear for well over a decade. Their stuff lasts and lasts. (It also makes my trunk-junk look good ). LL used to be very local (Vancouver) but now I think they farm out a lot of their work.
As for other stuff: Yamaha for boat motors, Honda for dirtbikes, and Toyota for trucks.
Maui Jim sunglasses have some of the best customer service in the world, IMO.
ETA: Clothing annoys me more and more. Fashions come and go so fricken quickly. It is now nigh on impossible to find a pair of trousers I like. There was this brief, shining spot in the late 90's when surfer styles came in and I loved everything I saw. Then it was over. Sigh.
I will not wear neon colours. I refuse.
