Do you still wear it? Why do you keep it, sentimental value?
For me it’s probably the socks I’m wearing right now. Keep meaning to replace them, but they’re super thick and whenever it’s cold I end up wearing them again. Reckon they’re 15 years old and still going.
I purchased the classic Baracuta G9 Harrington jacket when I was 17 with one of my first paychecks. I still love it very much and wear it often. Needs a little bit of stitching to repair some of the fraying bits but still very functional
An old skate hoodie I got for Christmas age 13, I’m now 31. Thanks to being a large 13 year old and the baggy style of the time, it still fits, and is in really good nick despite being worn loads. Don’t really wear it out now, but it’s good to keep me warm in the house
I wear things until they get lost or fall apart, got a few tshirts i’ve been wearing for about 20 years that were my brothers from about 10 years prior to that.
It doesn’t help that quality of clothes seems much worse now, not even just in the likes of Primark but I’ve had stuff from Monki that has literally fallen apart a few weeks in. In a race for suppliers to keep up with fast fashion its getting to harder to find enduring stuff.
this coat, wore it regularly until about 5 years ago
was purchased in late spring of the year 2000, so it lasted 15 years including all those little adventures you go on as a teenager, including spending nights on random floors or benches etc.
it was also the coat I used to get served booze under-age in, which was brilliant because it still says age 11-12 in and has loads of these buttons
