Best Piece of Clothing Yoe Have Ever Had?

[cobra kid]

What piece of clothing stands out as the best pound for pound item you have owned?

My choice is actually two;

92-93 SWFC shirt which just seems indestructable
Vauxhall fleece which gets worn everyday to work and has done for years and years now.

I recall a fantastic basque and thong set I bought an old girlfriend years back. It was mine right up the point I gave it to her, and certainly represents the best value item of clothing I have ever bought.

For myself, it is an old Hugo Boss top that took about 15 years to wear out.

North Face fleece, Had it a couple of years and have been to Canada in the ski season with it and didnt feel the cold with just a t-shirt underneath! It does have a couple of cig burns in it now and is still worn a hell of a lot

I had an anorak. I can't remember the make, it was so long ago that anoraks were virtually unknown in this country. It was not so bulky as the more modern ones. It lasted me for years. I was very poor, it was just as well that is was so well made. It eventually fell to pieces

Barbour jacket bought 1978 on a fishing trip to the Hampshire Avon, still going strong some tears here and there but the brass zip is just bedding-in

Bit like Howard Wilkinson...

Keeps striding past my house and looks like he'll go on forever, despite the onset of wonkiness...

Big pair of brown boots. They've lasted years and get a few outings a month. I love them to bits. And I'll probably wear them 'til they're in bits...

I had a pair of very expensive cowboy boots about 20 years ago, they lasted 10 years and worked out at about £1.50 per year! Not bad really

You're from Rotherham, right...?

[Nolar Dog]

A pair of orange Converse All Star Chuck Taylor Lo-Tops.

£25 three years ago and still going strong. They "go" with anything.

Pair of Marlboro classic shoes bought in 2002, cost circa £30, have been worn not far off daily since, they look old and ratty till I polish them then they look old and not so ratty. They are comfy, don't leak, the sole is like new, have been through fields, worked on cars, been on nights out, literally have lived on my feet and just haven't deteriorated!

Best pair of shoes I've ever owned, the worse lasted 4 days!

Good shot...

[citychap26]

Horse and Hound Tweed from Hackett

I'm rather fond of my Crombie overcoat too...

[Alfa_75_Steve]

My Daytona bike boots.

Bought at trade price from someone in the trade, now around 8 years old and still going strong.

Warm, comfortable and waterproof.

Best 80 quid I've ever spent.

Second would go to my Fieldsheer leathers - bought at a bargain price from J&S in Watford 9 years back. Been in a couple of spills, so look a bit battered and scuffed, but still do the job, and fit like a glove.

Hugo boss black cashmere 3/4 length overcoat

bought 10 years ago for £300 in the sales (was £500 iirc)

worn over suit every winter since - timeless fashion and does not look a day older

Can't be Maltby, as boots can't fit in the claw at the back of the heel. Went there today and it was like the bar at Star Wars.
