what's the oldest piece of clothing you own (and still may wear?)

my first high school football t shirt i got during two a days before my freshman year started...

A t-shirt with texas on it as the only continent on the whole planet that was the cover of Texas Monthly for its 20 year anniversary. The shirt is 10 years old. Has no sleves and very thin. collar is frayed. I wear it about 2-3 times a week.

The oldest piece of clothing I have is a shirt from the 12th grade. It's a leopard print shirt. It has a velvet feel to it. I snagged so many chicks in that shirt. My friends all tried to take it from me and use it for themselves. The shirt lost popularity about 1 1/2 yrs after I bought it. It was back in those days where leopard print was in style when you went out.


I have many memories with it. It's very dear to me. I can't seem to let it go. I wore it to Atlanta once last spring and the chicks liked it. I tried to wear it out in gainesville one night last spring but my girlfriend said she wouldn't walk out of the apartment with me if I had it on. Since then I have placed it in the closet for good. Maybe if another Pimps and Hoes party is thrown I'll wear it.

Well, I just in the last year lost it, but it was a sweatshirt that was from 1982, I think. My sisters boyfriend had given it to me and he'd acquired it playing football in college, it was the coolest, greatest sweatshirt ever made. Now I'd say the oldest thing I own is probably my docs from 7 years ago, or actually my adidas sambas and my adidas responses from 8 or 9 years ago.

ps. yes, I am still alive

I occasionally wear some of the hand-me downs of from my grandfather. They're probably around 20-30+ years old. One of my personal favorites is a suede sportscoat...

70's ties are interesting as well..

I bought my pair of Doc Martens in eighth grade...so they're six years old now. And my mom thought I'd never wear them!

OH MY GOD...YOU TOO! i have this white hooded stanford hooded sweatshirt with bright red letters fromthe 80s..... i will never part with it! My fiance at the time got it for me when we visisted his brother and sister in law in palo alto. I cherish that thing.

Did you grad 87 also?

The oldest piece of clothing I own, I think would be my Lab coat from 10th grade year in high school. We used to wear them when we worked in the Hospital because there was a medical program that my high school had. That was about 4 - 5 years ago; And its realy unlikely that I will ever wear it again, cuz it would serve no purpose.

An old old old faded mustard yellow Iowa State Cyclone Wrestling Club t-shirt from about 1984. I'm sure my dad got it for something but it's mine now! I still wear it around the house and to bed.

I have this shirt my dad got for me from the NYC Chinatown when I was in third grade. I hadnt seen it forever and I believe last summer I found it in our basement. Its an Adult small, its sooooo comfy and getting kinda thin on the material but I still wear it since I can fit in some adult small t-shirts.

Jim McMahon Chicago Bears jersey circa 1985. Its not a throwback, just a really old jersey... Throwbacks are for posers.
