Living in a very cold climate - Canada Goose winterwear and Audi Quattros.

And Ducati for those few months of summer.

 

We did a big family vacation last summer in Upper Peninsula Michigan and we stopped along the way and picked up as many local beers as we could find. We did end up with a Leinie variety pack, there wasn't a bad beer in it. After Yuengling, I'd say Leinenkugel's would be somewhere in my top 5 breweries.

 

Belstaff,Ralph Lauren, Adidas, Barbour.T M Lewin, Mont Blanc, Swarovski (cuff links), Daniel Hechter, Pringle, Ben Sherman, Imperial Leather, Salvador Dali pour Homme, Hermes Terre d@hermes, Oscar de la Renta pour Lui. &nd so many more.

 

Guinness

 

Leinenkugel October Fest is one of the best around in my opinion. Unfortunately, not many places carry it here in NY.

 

Excellent anecdote. When in high-school, a couple of friends and I used to drive on occasion from our home in Evanston (Chicago) to Stevens Point, WI, to buy Point beer. I see that they are still in business:

They sure are and they now make a variety of beers like Leinie's do.

Superga sneakers

I would have mentioned Domke bags...until I tried on a Billingham.

 

Microtech, Harley, Osprey

 

John Deere, Rijk Zwaan, and Levi’s

 

A company has to be very good to retain my loyalty. I am exceptionally fickle. As a result, the list is short. Stihl, Tanqueray, Seiko, Kimber, Toyota. Maybe a couple others I can’t think of at the moment.

 

Speaker or headphone amps?

I really like their philosophy. USA made, good quality, high value, and analog buttons. I have a Modi dac and sys volume control for a set of PSB powered speakers. I am sold and will buy more Schiit in the future.

 

Dr. Pepper. There's nothing that comes close to it, for me.

 

I've got their entry-level Magni and Modi 2 Uber and they've been running strong for about 4 years now, powering everything from sensitive IEMs to the admittedly not very hard to drive HD650 and DT1350.

Does a very fine job, and at a very reasonable price compared to the competition IMO!

Coke, durex, malboro

 

for this line of thought....strictly Blonde/Blue

 

If we're talking WI beer, it is hard to beat New Glarus. I'd drive over the border when I lived in the Midwest just to get a case of Spotted Cow.
