I was watching the _Seinfeld_ episode where Jerry has a favourite shirt I only have one. I have a leather jacket. It’s one of those Pepsi, black leather jackets. Remember when Pepsi had the slogan “Drink Pepsi, get stuff.” I got it at a thrift shop for $5.00. I wonder how much Pepsi the original owner had to drink to get it. I’ve had the coat for 15 years and it’s still in great shape, but if I lost it, or it tore, I’d be very sad. So do you have a favourite piece of clothing? A shirt? A pair of shoes? A scarf? Whatever. ---

Summer - a tobacco brown sleeveless rayon sundress, one of those heavily embroidered gauze things from India. Winter - any one of my collection of cashmere pullovers (I have about half a dozen gleaned from thrift stores, and no, they don’t have any moth holes!). Any other sweater I own now - wool, cotton, acrylic, even chenille - feels as heavy and itchy and cumbersome as a shirt made from chain mail. ---

A black sweatshirt of my husband’s. It’s so soft and warm. ---

hm, I hijacked a fantastic icelandic hand knit sweater from an old flame … very comfy. It has to be one of my favorite items. I also have a microfibre throw that I adore as well. I also have a black heavy cotton kaftan that is amazingly comfy. ---

Winter: A U of A sweatshirt that looks like it’s inside out but it’s not. Summer: A short-sleeved thin black hoodie that is low cut and makes my little boobies look nice with a pushup bra. ---

I love things with a lot of pockets, especially little pockets in unexpected locations. My winter coat, from A&F, has 12 pockets . . . including special ones for cell phone, glasses, etc. And I love my tux, mainly because I get to wear my gold/mother-of-pearl cuff link & stud set my partner bought me on our first trip to Paris. ---

My grey fleece. Most comfortable jacket I have ever had. Its lined. The pockets are lined. I wear it all the time. Never seen the brand in stores. I have only been able to find them online. My wife hates it. She thinks it is the ugliest piece of clothing I own. She’ll tell me its too cold to wear the fleece. In spring she will tell me its too warm to wear it. But its just so damn comfortable. ---

It varies. At the moment I’m really into a black, 80s style batwing sweater I got from Topshop as part of my late-seventies proto-goth dinner party costume (You can’t see much of the sweater [here](http://photos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs012.snc1/4199_101490020978_510865978_3152749_3418633_n.jpg), but the general look is apparent). I also really like a houndstooth, Chanel-style capelet cardigan thing I got for about 50p from Scope. I get compliments on it from fellow thrifters even if it does intermittently smell like wet dog. Oh, and I recently caved to pressure from real adults and bought some hundred-quid sturdy-buckled black leather “investment boots”, after spending most of my twenties in £2 sequinned ballet slippers from off the back of a van. _Naturally_ said boots have no tread and are disintegrating at speed, but _aesthetically_ they’re still a favourite. ---

NASA ballcap. I’ve gone through several iterations of the ballcap, as they keep getting faded and torn. I think I’m on my fourth one so far. The one I wear now is the ‘new’ logo, the last one was the ‘old’ style with the blue circle and comet. ---

Arrow shirt that my father bought in Hawaii upon his discharge in 1945. It has palm trees on it. ---

I have a white button-down shirt that has a little bit of runching at the seam that I adore. I don’t wear it too often, because I don’t want to wear it out too fast, because I want to save it for dressier occasions, but it’s so crisp and flattering! I wish I’d bought more than one. I also have an old, holey wool sweater that I’ve had since I was 13. I should throw it away, but I can’t bring myself to pitch it because it’s so warm. I also enjoy that my mother hates that I get compliments on it all the time, since she’s threatened to pitch it if I even bring it with me when I visit her. ---

A pair of beige-coloured Crocs. I have been told that these are the ugliest shoes EVER. I do not care. They make my feet all smiley. I have worn them all over India, China and Canada. We are the best of friends. ---

I have a 1989 Who shirt - 3/4 sleeves - from the The Kids Are Alright reunion tour. I was 3 when the tour happened, but I was 16 when I found it in a bin at Salvation Army for 65 cents. It is an xl, but I’m pretty sure that it must be a girl’s shirt originally, because I am losing weight to get back into it…I love that shirt… Brendon Small ---

I have this Elton John t-shirt from the Broken Hearts tour. I was a little girl when this tour happened but my aunt went and bought me the t-shirt. I still have it and my husband HATES that I wear it. It’s just sooo soft. I love it. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-you-have-a-favourite-piece-of-clothing/524863.md?page=2)
