What's the oldest piece of clothing you own?

Post by Hobie-wan »

I have no idea why this random question is in my head, but I must set it free.

The oldest things I have that was handed down to me are my father's late 60s combat boots.

Oldest thing I have that I got new is a leather jacket I've had since 1987.

I think the oldest clothing I have is my grandmother's kimono. Actually, I wonder if that fits now. ...I'm kinda afraid to wear the thing, seeing as she brought it back from Japan a great many years before I was born.

I have a nice blue/grey suit I picked up from a thrift store that I've gotten a lot of wear out of. Also have several pairs of pants from the same store -- likely from the same guy and era. The guy must have been my exact size since no alterations were needed. I look quite dashing indeed in the suit especially!
