Darn tough for socks and Brunt for hoodies, I would add to this list. I'm hard on clothes and they survive me.

They also have a lifetime warranty which is great. With enough use their socks still eventually wear out, but you can get a new pair for free.

I am stunned by DT's longevity. I'm finally starting to wear thin the back of the ankle/heel from shoe friction in one set, after about 6 years, with a total of about 8pr socks in rotation. Including about 15,000mi of use cycling.
