I was just looking at my comfy, but old dressing gown, thinking maybe I should replace it.
But it has taken at least 10 years to get to this cosy, soft, huggable condition!
Have you any old faithfuls ( clothing, not pets/DHs ) that you can’t part with?

I have a leather biker jacket that is 25 years old (older than my daughter)!!! It fits me like a glove. It has the imprint of my bum on the back where I used to take it off & sit on it at festivals etc. I still wear it occasionally (I think I'm still young enough & still have the look) & get compliments about.

Glad to read that so many of us have old, comfy, well worn dressing gowns. I don't feel so bad now about keeping mine and not looking to replace it.

I had a comfy fleece type dressing gown wearing out so bought a light cotton one to wear over it. The colours tone and it now looks quite smart.

It’s nice to know I’m not on my own! I have a small wooden spoon, had it for 55 years and couldn’t do without it. Also a fleece cardigan from M&S approx 10 years old. Which I wear every evening cos it’s comfy!!

We have an old Reebok fleece jacket which must be well over 20 years old. My sister gave it to me as it was too small for her, I wore it for a while and then my elder daughter borrowed it for a few years and left it behind after one of her visits. It hangs in our cloakroom and is worn by anyone who needs it! It's a bit pilled but still respectable. I have several times put it in a charity bag and taken it out again. I think that I will have it forever!
