My oldest piece of clothing is probably a black short-sleeved sweater that had belonged to my Grandfather. He died in the early 1970's. I also wear two of his belts, which may be even older.
My shirts last forever, I'm still wearing shirts from the 1980's, if not the 1970's.
I have about three dressers full of T-shirts, socks, sweatshirts, shorts, sweaters and so on. My coats fill one closet, and pants/button shirts/sweater vests/etc fill another, larger, closet. I hate to throw away clothes.
Perhaps the worst aspect of modern clothes is that they shed microfibers made of plastic. That ends up in the food chain in the oceans and it could be a very, very long time before that microplastic degrades.
