Two brands that deserve a shoutout in this vein are Filson and Freitag. I have an Alaskan Guide shirt from Filson that's still in rotation after 25+ years.

My Freitag bag will no doubt outlast me. It's made from repurposed truck tarps and seat belts. Both companies will repair their products.

Filson quality has dropped, and they make lots more of their stuff in China now.
