I'm bored with the circular football agruements. I've accepted we are pretty much toast but hold a candle for redemption.
A few questions to lighten the day.
Whats the oldest bit of clothing you;
1) bought new and still wear
2) Inherited and wear
3) You bought used and wear
Mine are;
1)A Gap shirt I bought 30 years ago. Dull check but looks great.
2)My dad's watch. Given to him on his 21st. He passed away 7 hears ago.
3) Two things. A fedora I bought from the vintage hat chap at Spitalfields and a DJ from the 1960's from a mate I served with and who's dad was in the SIS. It was worn at quite a few SIS gatherings. Quite some history. |  |

I only have one example and it doesn't really fit your criteria, but I was clearing out my wardrobe just yesterday and I still have 2 shirts I bought 20 years ago.
They cost me at the time and both still look like new and I'm reluctant to part with them.
The problem is they're only ever likely to fit me again if I become seriously unwell and can't eat for months. |  |

1. Matinique shirt bought from Nicklebys circa 85, cost almost a weeks wage
2. Blue and white checked shirt from mum's 3rd husband, he never wore it as the checks were too small. I got it 6 years ago.
3.Ralph Lauren shirt bought in charity shop 10 years or so ago
But full & mundane next to your jacket fedora combo |  |

1. Brown leather jacket which must be about 35 years old and has only just been relegated to gardening/diy coat.
2. Walking boots that the old man never wore (he died in July)
3. Just realised I’ve failed on this one as never bought anything used |  | | |

Matinique - a fine brand. I still have an oxford pin shirt circa early nineties from them.
Expo '88 t-shirt (Brisbane) which is still in my draw somewhere.
My dad's wedding suit waistcoat (Hepworths) from 1961. Not worn properly for a while because I cannot do the buttons up... |  |

I've just seen a new entrant.
A t-shirt I bought in 1997 in a vintage shop in Brighton. It's a US College type from the 80's.
Cost £2.50 and still wear it now. | |

1- still got a jumbo corduroy double-breasted peacoat i bought from Duffer St George (when they were at d’Arblay Street before they sold out). Bought around ‘89 I reckon, so 30 years old!!!
2 - inherited my Dad’s Oyster Rolex but only wear it at weddings/funerals. Not very reliable and battered up but one of my most treasured possessions.
3 - Swiss Army sniper smock. People assume it’s a Maharishi (as they’ve produced garms with a copycat print) but this is the real deal and cost a tenner from Becketts Army & Navy. |  |
