    What's the oldest article of clothing you still wear?

    I have a bra that's 11 years old. Don't know why I still have it because air gives more support. :p

    I have some boxers that are 12 years old and about 3 pairs of shoes that are about 13 years old. The shoes are Timberland so they are lasting really well.

    Franco Baresi and Maldini football shirts I got when I was 3½ years old.
    Also, I use a modified version of a leather vest that my godmother made me when I was 2 as my LARP armor :D .

    I have a few polos that are .... 15 years old? One was once red and is now hip pink. That said, they still fit :shake: I only wear them at home anymore.

    And I have my old army t-shirts that are 12 years old. And my ol' boots. I take care of my stuff.

    I have a 'Cabot 500' celebration T-shirt that's ten years old...but I think that's it.

    Donated a fair bit o' old clothing to Goodwill/Salvation Army in the past few years to reduce clutter...but then, I didn't know this thread was coming up. ;)

    I have a few jumpers and shirts I still wear at home that are pretty old. I have no idea how old exactly, but they were handed down by my cousins to my sister, who handed them down to me. ^^'''

    I have a shrit that is about 10 years old that I stopped wearing about 4 years ago but I still see it in my room occaisionally.

    When I got it, it fit like every other shirt. If I tried to wear it now, it would be like a wetsuit.

    The oldest thing I have and actually wear is about 5 years old I think. I seem to get through clothes quite quickly, for a few reasons really.

    My oldest piece of clothing would be a fur coat that was made in the 1920's. it's probably almost as old as my grandmother.

    I also have a t-shirt that's 20 years old now. It used to be huge on me, now it's a rather snug fit. I don't often wear it outside the house any more.

    My winter parka is 16 years old. The oldest other clothing I have is a suit (jacket and skirt) that's 12 years old. It's about had it, though.

    Non active clothing includes my M.A. academic gown that's over 20 now - just keeping it for sentiment, I suppose.

    Let's see....I've got a windbreaker that my brother in law gave me that he bought at a Metallica concert in 1988. So it's over 19 years old. I only wear it on a very rare occasion these days.

    Besides that, I still have my suit/dress pants that I got when We moved to Utah almost 8 years ago. That's about it. :rolling:

    I have a beaver fur hat that is nearly 100 years old. It was my great grandfather's. As far as clothes that I bought myself I have a leather jacket that I bought in 1994 but I don't wear it much anymore. I have a couple of sweaters and a few t-shirts that I bought back around 1992 or so.
