Retro football shirts are popular over here. I've got a couple of Ipswich Town shirts from the 90s I still wear at weekends sometimes.
Got a tip for us?

Frank Shorter Gore-Tex running jacket from the mid-1980s. The Gore-Tex functionality is gone, but it's still a good jacket.
Probably my high school senior shirt. I mainly wear it when I wash my car, clean up around the house, etc. I'm one of the lucky few who didn't gain 100 pounds since then, lol.
Yeah i forgot about some LLBean workboots that I've had since the 80s. Great for the garden once the mud season is over.
Ties... well... somewhere in a closet I have one that a brother of mine handed me back after Christmas one year with a hand written anti-thank-you note and a verbal offer to buy a round of beers at a local pub: "a pox on Christian Dior ties, you have been corrupted by the establishment."
I’ve got a Carhartt belt that dates back to about 1997 and is a bit tatty but still worn. I wore it during my skateboarding days and all through college and uni. Probably lost my virginity wearing this belt 
Carhartt stuff can last a long time. I have a few plaid flannel shirts I got from them in the 90s that seem indestructible and impressed me so much at the time of purchase for having the markings of the plaids exactly lined up at all the seams and the pockets.
I'd say its a Baylor College of Medicine long sleeved cotton shirt that I still wear around the house and sometimes I sleep in. I got it when I was at the methodist hospital during my pregraduate years, it has to be from 97 or 98.
My wife has tried to throw it in the trash several times now.
I had, until a few years ago, a pair of scrubs that I "borrowed" from the Academisch Ziekenhuis of Amsterdam's VU in 98 (Is it located in Amstelveen? I'm not sure). They stopped fitting about 10 years ago, so I couldn't save them from the trash.

This statement can be read in so many ways...
My 1940/50’s suit I put on for nostalgia events
Admittedly I bought it second hand.

I have a Carhartt jacket that I bought around 1986 or so that I still wear every fall that I spend outside of AZ. Thing is well-worn but leather has no rips or tears. Very well made. Used it while I was logging, trucking, developing, and pretty much everything in between. Wore it around West Germany too.
I may have a Led Zeppelin concert shirt from 1977, I know I had it a few years back but I misplaced it in one of my moves and have had no luck finding it. It's in okay shape, I was still wearing it on rare occasions until I misplaced it.
