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

After my Dad passed away, I took his black overcoat to at least 3 flea markets, and it never sold. As I was about to put it in a Goodwill bag, I decided to try it on. I stuck my hands in the pockets, and came up with a stack of holy cards from my Aunt's funeral, and a used hanky in the other pocket. And I remembered seeing him, standing far apart from the other mourners at my aunt's funeral, in that coat, crying and blowing his nose.

That was 10 years ago and I'm still wearing that coat...how could I part with it after that poignant memory? I replaced the buttons with some feminine-looking ones. My older brother was with my Dad when he bought it and we estimate it's more than 25 years old.

I have several T-shirts that are about 10-15 years old that I wear on a very regular basis. I also have an old shirt of my dad's that is older than I am

I have these pair of shorts that for some reason feel REALLY good against my skin. So I've had them for a long time, since I was about 12, I guess.

Since I'm 5 months pregnant, everything I wear is new, or at least new to me. I bought some of it at consignment shops. I'm even outgrowing my shoes now. The only old things I wear are underwear (not ones that go over my tummy, of course) and socks, and I wouldn't think that any of those are too old.

If I ever get my old body back, I still have clothes from high school, and I graduated 8 years ago. I'd guess that there are a few things that are over 10 years old.

I am actually wearing a pair of khakis that are about 13 years old. Some things never go out of style.

Khakis are my favorite. I can't stand denim.

I have a really cute old brown velvet jacket I got at the Salvation Army for $2.50 but it's new to me... the oldest piece of clothing I actually have that I still wear... hmm... good question.... most of my stuff is new! lol

I have some old t shirts and stuff that I regularly wear, but my favorite old thing is a sweater that I bought at a rummage sale about 10 years ago......really warm , but only wear it around the house...
DD (12 yrs old) was up in the attic and found my old concert t shirts from the 80"s and some peasant shirts that I loved., They are "In" again,, so she wears them all the time
