There were a half-dozen pairs of so that were from the early 2000's. He's now the new owner of a pair of brown ankle boots from Next - the price tag was still on them b.t.w £49.something. Update - the sole fell off one of the shoes when he was out last night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swarley Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Kilt jacket - 30 years old. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
die hard doonhamer Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 My kilt is older than me. My Grandad bought it for my parents’ wedding in 1990. I inherited it when he passed in 2007 and wore it when I got married. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was Grandad a straight-arm saluting rabid anti-Semite ? Yes, but there was more to him than that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnderooMFC Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I've still got my first gig tshirt (A) from 2002 but it's been retired to my mum's loft due to holes under the arms. Oldest I still wear I think is an Offspring one from 2005. Footballwise I've got a claret 'Well top from when we were sponsored by The Untouchables, sometime around 02-04. It's actually in much better nick than the Cash Converters one I've got from the 2010's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 (edited) I've been mostly wearing the same shoes for over a decade now, and they feel brand new. That said, I only bought them last month as I just buy an identical pair every few years once the sole wears through seeing as they've not been discontinued yet. Quickest shoe shopping ever. ETA: I regularly wear my Scotland strip from 2006 (the 'Gary Caldwell vs France' one) whilst hill walking / caving as it makes a handy light underlayer and stays warm even when wet.

gannonball Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 (edited) I've a pair of leather timby boots that I still wear that are 20 plus years. I've even used them the odd time for hill walking and a few times I've debated to throw them out after a wee bit of polish they come up great. I think I may have replaced the laces at some point so not sure if that counts. Absolutely no chance you could get something so well made or heavy duty these days from what is now a fashion brand really.

Raidernation Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I have several ties I inherited from my father, at least 70 years old (get worn to interviews on occasion). As for actual "clothes" clothes, I have a couple of dress shirts from the 90's I can still wear. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DumbartonBud Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Pair of Doc Boots from late 80’s that I still wear but bought a new pair last year, they aren’t as comfy so prefer the old pair. Also a Ted Baker denim jacket from about 1990 but it is begining to feel a bit tight across the shoulders now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
