Favorite clothing brands?

I have this cabela's wind/fleece jacket that keeps me warm in the winter, even though it is not big and puffy.

I've heard good things about North Face as well, but they seem to be a fashion thing around here.

 

Sadly, most of the good decent brands seem to be so stinking expensive. I'm a SAHM with 4 kids, so 6 people on one income. I simply cannot afford big-ticket items. That being said, my daughter has a north face jacket that is so lightweight yet warm-- I want one! Seriously! And my kids do have long-sleeve under armour shirts because they need them, they keep them warm and are just a layer.
My 14 year old thinks Under Armour is like God. He has an AU backpack, and sport socks, etc. He loves that name.

I have bought Land's End jackets and they are good quality and keep you warm.
I do know that cheap stuff doesn't work, so we try to buy better to get our money's worth.

 

I'm a decently big fan of a classic LL Bean flannel. I like to camp in the fall and find it very comfortable-but fabric wise and heat-wise. I also think socks are wildly important to camping and often go overlooked. If you're backpacking, you need socks that provide cushioning and insulation in moderate to cold climates. Lightweight socks for summer provide more cushioning the liners alone but can be wore in addition to liners. I prefer REI for camping socks as I find them very sturdy and able to handle several different hikes over a short period of time.
