Voler bibs (hammernutrition branded)
variety of jerseys from rides, teams, and random REI finds. Favorite is Pearl Izumi on cold days, I find the material to soft and warm. On warm days, I like my Canari jersey, it is light weight and breathes well.
Pearl Izumi warmers for me
Gore thermal jacket rocks :-)

stole your bike
I've been really impressed with Capoforma, I have the M1 kit and love the bibs and jersey for comfort; I recently got a winter jacket and just ordered their winter tights. The winter jacket has been really good in the few below 40 degree mornings we've had. Under Armour shirts have been good for base layers, I have one for the summer and another for winter.

Hincapie jerseys, Giordana shorts, Descente jerseys, Nalini jerseys, Specialized gloves. Shimano shoes (too cheap to try Sidi)
I would like to try Craft, I've heard they're good.

Louis Garneau. They have an outlet in Newport Vt. that I make an annual trek to when on vacation in the Jay Peak area. Get some great deals at the Island of Misfit Clothes.

I suppose at this time, I would have to say LG. I have several of their items and they all function and fit very well.

Sugoi, comfortable and good quality. Also, any time I've had a problem (rips, premature failure), they've replaced them without issue.

specialized shoes coz they fit my odd shaped feet, nalini bib shorts, assos 3/4 bibs are so comfortable, Giordana jerseys fit really well, also own a Rapha classic jersey - expensive, but treated myself for my birthday and it felt fantastic when I tried it on.

Maybe i'm alone here, but i can't stand those frigging chamy's with groove's, bumps, squares, ribs, notches and slots.
Santini all the way for bibs, and tights. Their Twist gel chamois is the most comfortable one out there for my ass.
The rest of the stuff, it's what ever fit's for the lowest price.

Voler bib shorts. Best I've ever used and a great price...team pricing.
Pearlizumi: bib tights, knickers, arm warmers, skull cap, booties, gloves, ear warmers and base layers...great quality, some of my stuff is around 15 years old and still like new.
Sidi and Northwave shoes...best fitting shoes I've ever worn.
Sugoi jackets. They fit great and are very well made.

Assos bibs and Specialized shoes.
Assos because when it comes to your privates, no amount is too much for perfection.
Specialized because they fit, they last, and they're cheap.
