What clothing item that you can still wear, have you had the longest? What makes it special?

What is the clothing item that you can still wear that you've had the longest?
How long have you had it?
What makes it special?
Why did you originally buy it or make it, or was it given to you or did you find it?

My BYU short sleeve hoodie shirt and matching gaiter scarf. I get a lot of strange looks because I'm nowhere near where LDS are prominent now... and I've been asked why I wear it. I also have a retro rainbow striped Hawaii jersey with matching rainbow gaiter scarf. I grew up on the West Coast and I used to live in Salt Lake. I'm the son of immigrants, and the kama' ainas on the islands treated me very well. The LDS in Salt Lake also treated me very well. BYU's second largest campus is on the islands. Most Polynesians are LDS, as BYU and Utah are FULL of them on their rosters... there are over 30,000 of them in Salt Lake. The Utah HS state champ plays the Hawaii state champ every year in football, alternating each location annually. I'm not officially LDS, and definitely haven't lived the life of one. But I wear things from places where I got treated well. Those are really good people. BYU&Hawaii go hand in hand to me, as they do for many immersed in either the religion, culture, and in many cases, both.

I have a field jacket that my uncle wore when he fought in Korea in the 1950's. When he returned home, he gave it to my grandfather, and my grandmother then gave it to me after my grandfather died in 1974.

Red burgundy leather jacket (not real) got it at burlington, my fav place to shop and get deals. I wear the jacket to a lot of outings for a few years now. It even has some loose threads but i kinda like it that way 😌 i got told that i reminded someone of the lady from terminator so thats a plus 😂

I still have an old shirt that everyone compliments for some reason.
It's just an old ass white t shirt with holes and frays, but I still get compliments in it. No idea why

I have suits that are 15 years old. I'm the same size now I was then other than an inch shorter (thanks IED). I just rehemmed the pants.

I fit into all my 20 year old clothes still but my bathing suits from 2018 are too big on me

I recently had to toss it:( literally wore until a rag.. An oversized tyedye shirt my Mom got me. Incase that doesn't count because it got tossed I have a old black & white Bud jacket since i was 12.

What makes them special? My Mom got them for me, & that oversized shirt was so comfortable, what I always wore chillaxing. BUM equipment made it, I've been looking for another just like it.

It’s rich and tradition plus I got baptized in one of them they don’t make clothing like they used to

[Asker]

Did you get baptized later in life?

[Iron_Man]

Yes, I did

I have a T-shirt that is over 20 years old. It's from a music festival that I performed in.

I am too lazy to go out to buy new clothes
