An old brown wool cardigan that DD bought me years ago. It is worn and pilled and utterly scabby, but still warm and comfortable. Every time I put it on, DH says “you look like a tramp in that! When are you going to throw it away?” Well, I look like a tramp in anything I wear, so it ceases to bother me!

I have a pair of winter trousers which I bought from a second hand stall in the market. 10€ I think. They're partially lined, and are a nice brown/blue tweed. Big side pockets.
I've had them a few years and when the 'bum' area was getting thin lined it with some tough cloth.
I'm wearing them now and will be sad when they give up the ghost;

I know what you mean about comfy dressing gowns J. Mine is about four years old and my "go to" at the end of a busy day.
But my real old faithful is a pair of superb Wallis leggings bought about ten years ago....so very very comfy and totally indestructable.

Like you J52, it's my comfy dressing gown!

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?
