I'm looking for examples of high quality but reasonably-priced consumer goods. Is there anything that you have bought that has lasted 5+, 10+, 15+, or 25+ years, is still in good shape and usable, and can still be purchased in the year 2017? Please share it.

I got basic black leather Dr. Marten's boots in 1998 and the sole still looks and feels BRAND NEW, though the leather is showing wear. (I should add that I was never great about weatherproofing or cleaning the leather and I often wear them in snowy salty streets.)

No idea if they're still made that way, and of course they're a "look," but this pair wore like goddamn iron.
