I have a North Face shell. Nice with a ragg wool sweater under it back when I worked and had time to take days off to go XC skiing. Back in the 80s working on the Colorado River I bought a couple pairs of river shorts called Stand Up Shorts because they were made out of canvas so stiff they'd stand up by themselves. I think they cost maybe 18 or 20 bucks, made by some startup called Patagonia here in the U.S. I still have one pair. The new version is a pale shadow of the originals, costs three times as much and is made by orphans in some dank factory somewhere in the sinister orient. I have written Patagonia off.
I have a wool Filson coat that my son covets. LL Bean still has a good warranty although they too outsource. Their River Driver shirts are great. Carhartt almost all the time for me, although sadly they are outsourcing lots of their work clothes now. Double knee pants almost every day I don't wear button fly shrink to fit 501s.
