There are some particular food items that I really love and will likely always seek out, but they aren't always branded specifically.

 

(Costa Rican coffee, German beer, Serrano ham, various imported cheeses, certain wines from certain regions but different vintners)

 

Even in my profession I don't remain loyal to one musical instrument manufacturer. I continually try various new and vintage instruments - though I've played the same one primarily for over 10 years now. 

---------------------------------------------------------

Brands I definitely seek out are: 

 

- http://www.nimanranch.com/Index.aspx -  < the best uncured, double-smoked bacon ever. 

 

 - Hess Select - CA cabarnet -  <great bottle of red for your steak night that won't cost a bundle

 

 - This cheese - midnight moon

   ^ great to nosh on with the wine while preparing those steaks! 

 

 - Oh - Levi's.  508, 513 or 522 jeans and cords. Staples for me.  

 

 - Apple. Have made music on their computers for a decade and a half.  Not nearly as loyal as i once was, but making music on a Mac vs. a PC has been easier since the mid-90's.  The right PC with the right OS now can make that long standing rule obsolete though.  

 

 - Always need two good pairs of dress shoes.  Allen Edmonds.  I prefer these: http://www.allenedmonds.com/aeonline/pro...style=1543

 

- Sneakers.  I tend to go with Puma classics or Vans unless I need something to run in. Then I go New Balance or Saucony. 

 

- Rain and/or Snow gear.  I like Patagonia and Burton. 

 

- When tire shopping I gravitate to Bridgestone or Michelin. 

 

- Shirts.  - Big fan of Ben Sherman. Fitted dress shirts and some of the casual stuff.   

 

- Tools - I'm all over the map, but one thing everyone should have in their toolbox is a set of 10 inch Channel Lock Pliers.  Very versatile.
