I've never been a true brand loyalist when it comes to clothes, mainly focusing on needs, personal style, and price (usually Kohl's or Costco). About 20 years ago, I got a sweater in the Cutter & Buck brand and it's still going strong and I've had a few more C&B items through the years.

A week ago I got on an online shopping kick with ebay and Poshmark (first time ever there) and just did a search for C&B. Wound up buying about 7 or 8 things (including a Bears, Cubs, and Angels shirt) and each one has come in and I am impressed...style and well-made.

Cutter & Buck is definitely a preferred brand for me.

Others:
Ecco for dress shoes (great comfort)
Lee Jeans (always seemed to work for me)
