I got a Marmot gore-tex enabled shell jacket just after I turned full-grown, 25 years ago. I am still wearing it.
It seems pretty close to this model: http://marmot.com/products/silverton_jacket?p=216,303 -- under-arm zips, lot of snaps and pull ties for sealing the bottom against snow, and a massive hood. Great seams, just totally well made.

The pull ties at the bottom were wrecked a couple years ago when they got caught in a mountain bike, and there is a small rip in one sleeve, but that wasn't normal wear and tear.
I haven't washed it in about five years so it's sort of dirty, but aside from throwing it through a dryer a few years ago to re-season the gore-tex (which seemed to work), it's pretty much worked great for 25 years. A lot of those years were in California so it was only used a few days a year, but now that I'm in Seattle I used it all the time.
I remember the shell and a fleece were around $250 in 1988 (big birthday present when I was doing a lot of camping and rock climbing), so maybe $600 in today's dollars, but it's actually even still reasonably in fashion for a red and black rain/snow jacket.
This is just a shell, no insulation (just some mesh inside), but it works great. I can't vouch for Marmot's production methods today, but 25 years ago, they were great. May be worth checking out. The other reminder is if you're really buying clothing or a jacket for life, go classic vs. stylish -- it'll look better longer.
