Still wear the blue and white scarf bought for me by my grandmother for my first Albion game in 1960. Functionally it's pretty useless unless you're <10yo but.........................

I have a really nice pair of Loakes Black Oxford Brogues that I bought with some sales bonus before my daughter was born - and she's 28 now. I also have the Burberry that I bought at the same time, but that seems to have shrunk a bit over the years.
Oh no - quick hide this thread from Zef.....nothing to see here...move along....

I have an original miners strike t-shirt that I wear occasionally (1984) and also a Professor Longhair / New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival T shirt from 1980 but I haven't worn it for years - not sure I could get into it now, I was a skinny rake then.
My brother kept his jeans with hand-made sown in flares from the 60s and they were in an exhibition a few years ago at Brighton Museum.

I think it's a sweat shirt my late mother gave me about eighteen years ago. I hardly wear it but it does come in handy on occasion.

Full-length tweed wool coat I found in an old-stock outlet in 1983. It was new, but stored for decades - as it was made for retail in 1955 (stamped on the inside pocket).

How soon is now?
Still "wear regularly" a red tab Levi jacket that I bought from Stunning Rags some 21 odd years ago. Its f**ked, but i'm nursing it through. If it makes it to 25 i'll frame it and hang it on the wall

I am wearing a jumper today that must be about 6 or 7 years old and is no different form how it looked the day I bought it. Probably my oldest regularly worn item.
CBGBs t-shirt from 1990.....17 years old. I did loose it for a few years tho so it hasnt been worn regularly for this period.

On colder days I regularly wear my Atlanta Braves T shirt I bought in Florida in 1992, under my football shirt to Withdean.
Should get a few years out of it yet!

For all the mods out there. I have a brown, worsted twill weave, saville row suit with 3 button, 3 pocket, narrow lapel, 1x 6inch vent jacket. flat fronted straight leg button fly trousers. All the buttons are covered in the same fabric as the suit. It is well sharp and on the back of the makers label in fading biro it says '3/4/64, S Taylor'.
I like to think it saw some action on the beach that year.

Very tasty. I have a hand made suit from Jump the Gun (about 14 years old) very similar but in two-tone royal air force blue. I've been known to wear it with a broderie anglaise white shirt with pink flower detail and my patent leather crocodile skin chelsea boots.
Could well give it an airing at my Christmas bash this weekend.
Indeed where most of Zef's more recent clothing comes from...had a fantastic two tone green womens skirt suit in there a while ago, but twas a size twiggy and I wouldn't have got in it on even my best of days....
Chameleons tour T shirt from 1985, it is now very very thin (unlike me)
