I’ve had 2 pair of jeans that were loved beyond repair.
The first was a pair of Pepe flare-leg jeans that I got on a clearance rack for $9.00. I’ve had them since 8th grade. I wore them for years then had to retire them when I speedskated and my leg muscles were too big to comfortable fit. After speedskating (and the big muscles) died out I began wearing them again. I still have them in a box under my bed - with a big hole under the asscheek (no cite for that)
The second pair was the best fitting pair of jeans I’ve owned. They looked and felt great - soft and broken in. I loved 'em and Mr J thought they looked great, but they just didn’t last as long as I would’ve liked them to. Eventually, the butt cheek (again!) started to wear thin and split right below the pocket.
I’ve looked everywhere and haven’t found a worthy replacement yet.

I put them on today after getting up late and showering and so on (I don’t actually wear pajamas to bed, you see) and walked around all day without a worry.

You wear pyjamas, but not to bed? How … curious. Why not a nice comfy dressing gown instead? Easier to slip in and out of, and after all that’s what they’re for.

I totally sympathize with the jeans. I had a pair that I bought when I was 16 and I wore them until last year (I was 23).

I, too, have felt this pain. Part of me still grieves for my favorite pair of Naf-Naf jeans which I bought in Paris in 1996. They gave up the ghost last spring. (Though I still have them in my closet, unable to part with their remains.)
I blame the French for selling me an inferior-quality product.
The last bra I threw out because it was overworn was a training bra. I loved it because it was a gorgeous shade of blue. It was a transition bra - like a training bra but more sporty - for actual tits, not raisinettes. I had to chuck it when the lacy bits became holey bits.

Dressing gowns tend to…slip…
I have two dressing gowns and I will wear them alone when I get up but I put on the pj’s after I got out of the shower. I was having a REALLY lazy day.
I am also being forced to throw out my sneakers - I bought some sketchers flats to replace them (I don’t wear them for running but as comfortabubble shoes for work and so on) but they smell because I can’t wear socks with them and if I wear them for long periods of time, they get uncomfortable. The sneakers are falling to pieces, missing seams in places and really worth chucking out. But no, I luffers them. Or something.

My nylon gym shorts - I wore them (under trackpants) to play football one evening. Then, as is my wont, I went to the gym for a sauna.
I discarded my trackies and tee shirt, strode into the (mixed) sauna…

You take a sauna in nylon shorts? Isn’t it…incredibly uncomfortable?

Is this some strange British custom?

Mixed Sauna - swimwear required. I don’t do speedos, so I swim/exercise in shorts. These were pretty good - a fairly heavy weave that wore well, dried overnight and had an inner liner to stop things … flopping.
I don’t have a problem with no clothes saunas - but the poms don’t do that sort of thing. :dubious:
my sam and libby loafers. a lovely spectator pair. i got them on super-sale at strawbridge and clothier’s basement. a most wonderful place to get shoes.
alas, this year the shoes broke beyond repair, and strawbridge’s went down for the count.
