slo’s TUESDAY 9/26 poll - Your Oldest Clothing Item

[TCRAIG]

I have a muumuu dress my mom made me to wear home from the hospital after I had my daughter - she turned 40 this year - I still wear it as a beach cover. I also have a barn coat from LLBean that I wear that’s about 15 Yrs old maybe…it still looks brand new and keeps me wonderfully warm!

A heavyweight boyfriend style turtleneck that I sometimes wear as winter outerwear. It’s one of my fav travel pieces and has been for a good 25 years.

I have a Notre Dame hockey jersey that my grandparents gave me for Christmas in 1994. It was the first clothing item I ever had in XXL and was a huge motivator for me to start losing weight when it became tight on me in 2001. I still wear it at least once a year when I watch the Irish play hockey, and occasionally when I get out there on the ice myself. Now I can wear my pads under it, just like I could when I got it.

Im 73. I still have a sweatshirt from high school…acquired between 1963 and 1967.

I have a few rock T-shirts from the late 70s. Queen, Bowie, Rush.

They no longer fit. Somehow they shrunk over the decades.

The oldest that still fits is from the 1992 NCAA basketball Final Four in Minneapolis. I bought a XXL to wear over the sweatshirt I was already had on. It’s still nice and loose fitting.

My DD is having her old T shirts made into a quilt. Just an idea for those
