I have the bottoms to a pair of pajamas that I love. They're 10 years old. The top was tossed long ago. I also have an oversized sweatshirt from my last job (with company logo) that's probably 12 years old. There's my black London Fog raincoat which I've had for about 15 years. I only wear it when it's raining, and it's a classic style, so I see no reason to replace it.

Either the Guess Tennis Shoes I bought in 1992, or the Wal-Mart black, long sleeved shirt I bought in...92 or 93. That shirt is still in the same condition as it was when I bought it.

For back when I was 12, that's not bad. :lol:

I have this blue(well now it's the lightest blue you've ever seen :lol: )shirt and it's about 15 years old about two sizes too big. I wear it to sleep. It was my grandfathers t-shirt. When I slept over my grandparents house 15 years ago, I brought nothing to sleep in and he gave me that t-shirt and I've had it since. It's an adidas shirt btw and I will hand it down to one of kids one of these days...well I don't know...but....:lol:

I have a pair of sandals that I purchased in 2000 that I still wear. I also have a few t shirts that I've had since I was younger. I used to get "oversized" t shirts to use as sleep shirts, lol funny thing that I liked as a child. And I still have some that I now use when doing work around the house etc.

I'll bet I'll take the trophy here. I've got a suede skirt and vest that I can still wear from grade 9. Circa 1975. No kidding. It actually became too big for me for about 25 years, but I have put a bit of weight back on and can get into it again. It's still in style, but it's that heavy "cowhide", not lamb so you can hear me walking in it. I guess I still hang onto it for nostalga purposes only. ;)

Oh yeah - and I still have an ORIGINAL M*A*S*H t-shirt from about 1977.

I'm 28 and I have a pair of pajamas that I got in 8th grade, but I don't wear them too often anymore. I wear my high school soccer jacket that I got as a freshman whenever it rains. It has a hood and a pocket big enough to carry my umbrella.

I have a heavy leather coat that I wear in the winter that I have had for about ten years. My mother doesn't like that I still have it, but seriously, this is the warmest coat I have ever owned.

I have a really nice Mets cap I bought when I worked in a Sporting goods store during my High School/College years. It has to be close to 20 years old. Of course it spent about ten of those years packed in a box in my Parent's attic.

My grandma(father's side)still has her wedding dress when she got married in 1946. And she still owns dresses, skirts, blouses and accessories from the 40's, 50's and 60's. I love looking at them. They are so beautiful and in great condition. I'd love to wear her dress when I get married. ;)

I have these denim shorts that I've had since I was a senior in high school and I still have those and I wear those around the house. Also I have a sweat shirt that I've have since I was a Jr. in high school and I'll wear that around the house as well. Those are the only things that I have that are old clothing.

I have a belt that used to be my grandma's... She got & wore it when she was in her early 30s... She turned 30 in 1962, so it's from prior to 1965.

In Feb. 1999, I went to a Black Sabbath concert in Detroit and bought a T-shirt that I still wear. The oldest item I still have, however, is a blue jacket I received for Christmas 1994. I'll start wearing it again as soon as I lose a few pounds.

When I was in first grade, I played t-ball and our team names were the names of the actual MLB teams. My team was the Marlins, and I still wear the shirt now because the Marlins are my favourite team :D Ironic how that worked out. But damn, that shirt must have been huge on me when I was little, since it fits just fine now. Even though in my mind, I remember it fitting just fine... weird.

For me it's an old basketball shirt that I got for playing in a league back in the 5th grade or so. lol I'm 22 now. My boyfriend wears old band shirts from back when he was 15 or so. About 10 years for him now. They have tons of holes and are really faded, but he can't part with them. :lol:

I own a couple of clothes that are nearly ten years old! They still look cute today, so...why not? Holy moley! I can't believe that the late 90s is already a decade ago! Damn... :eek: :lol:

I also own this black and beige flowery peace sign choker necklace that I bought in August 1995 when I earned some good money babysitting for some family friend's two toddlers. Now, they are teenagers! OMG!! :lol: Anyway...with that hard-earned money, I bought some clothes, and I recently found this choker in my storage shed. I can't believe I still had it! I thought I had lost it years ago! It's sooooo cute! I want to preserve it well as a reminder of how I earned it well. I ought to take a digital pic of it and post it here. :D

Anyway, I have a few shirts from, like, 2004 that still fit me :lol: I also have a jacket that I wore a lot in 1999, but I haven't worn it in ages.
