What's the longest you've owned an item of clothing/footwear?

I finally had to throw out my Dr Martens this week and when I thought back I've had them since about '98/99. Hated binning them but they were finally fooked...
Anyway, any relics in your wardrobes that ye can't bear to part with it?

I've got an Offspring t-shirt from a gig in 2003, it's all faded and there's holes in it but I love it still.

Have a pyjama top from around the same time, its got a fair few holes at this stage so don't wear it anymore.

Mint Sauce

Have a tee shirt with a silhouette of Danger Mouse on it, have it for about 7 years or so. Usally gets worn now though under a hoodie or jumper as an extra layer.

positron

A shirt from 1999/2000. Still in great shape and I wear it to work at least once a week. Still fits me, the material is way better than most of my new shirts, and is still reasonably fashionable (blue and white stripes, you can still buy similar pattern in shops to this day). I remember it cost me about the equivalent of 5 euro back then.

Balck v-neck jumper, 50% acrylic, 50% wool. This thing is bullet proof. Had it 7 years now and still looks just as good as the day I bought it, albeit a fraction smaller.

Good old shoes!

A 8 years old pair of green Celtic FC boxers ? Not so common :cool:

I not a superstitious kind of person, but when I've wore them for big or important occasions they've always been 'lucky' for me. First time on a plane, first day at a new job, starting secondary school etc.

Except that time I Sh1t myself. Not that time.

My AC Milan jersey from 1994. Still in perfect condition.

Have a full length black trenchcoat from 12 years ago. Unfortunately it would cost the same to dry clean it as it would to buy a new one... so it kinda needs a clean at this stage :pac:
