    Dunlop Volleys for 35 years or more. Unfortunately overseas production affected the quality on these, as with many once very reliable Australian brands.
    There have been some before and in between the ones shown below.

    Loake, John Smedley, Barbour, Boss, Belstaff, Ralph Lauren, Hopetech, Laurent Perrier,Rayban, Oakley, Haglofs and Ron Hill.

    Out of that lot the only let down have been a pair of Barbour boots that fell apart and a Boss jumper that did the same.
    A zip broke on a Belsaff jacket that was 6 years old and the firm fixed it gratis which i was impressed with.

    I have an LV Wallet I bought 15 years ago and it still looks brand new, mainly because I avoid opening it of course ::rimshot::

    It has been incredibly loyal to me and I will return the favour one day and buy another. :D

    I have 14 of their jackets currently, 8 of them waxed.
    I also have knitwear, boots, polos short and long sleeved, shirts even aftershave.
    My missus has Barbour jackets and so does our dog.

    Never though I had any intense loyalty to any brand but on reflection I guess I do, the below purely subjective of course.
    Audi, bought my first one in 2005, cant see past them for design and quality.
