I have been asked to make some blanket chests and and other items requiring hinges/hardware and I was wondering what you all considered to be some of the best? These blanket chests, boxes, and small cabinets will be heirlooms so I want to use hardware that will last. 
Thanks, Jim

You won't go too far wrong with Brusso hardware.

Agree ^^

Also Sanderson makes knife hinges and miscellaneous hardware. Probably not for every project, but a great option and always high quality.
Best,
