Updated to enable comments: Rapha is bringing to cycling a level quality in design and materials that I would never have expected. Aside from a really cool looking header graphic, Velodramatic has showcased (some might say shilled, though I believe the guy is seriously in love with the gear) some really amazing product.
If I had the means and the wear-with-all, this would be my kit of choice.
What brands are you interested in based on the quality of design, materials, and class? Which brands have redefined quality in their respective markets?

Kuhl clothing is one of my favorites. They’ve created a line of outdoor clothing that has a strange sort of “niceness” to it. Their line is much different than the typical and more prevalent “North Face” or “Columbia” brands.

I just came across the Rapha, Timothy Everest custom tailored 3 piece suit for biking. At $3500 it’s a bit out of my reach, but I love the idea behind custom tailored fancy bike gear.
