Understood. I'll throw out one: Allen Edmunds shoes. They are the only shoes I have (not counting tennis shoes), and all cost $300-400 each. The oldest pair I have is 27 years old and still look good. The youngest pair I have is about 5 years old. They are classic American shoes, solid build, excellent leather. Unlike fancy Italian shoes, they last forever with care and maintenance. I will never, ever, buy another brand of shoes. And I really don't care how much they cost because they are clearly worth it. I have to say, it's fun getting compliments on shoes and then seeing the look on someone's face when they hear the shoes are a quarter century old. :)
