How old is your oldest piece of clothing that you simply can't let go of? Is it a proper retro period item like a skinny tie or WHAM t-shirt that would cause you to get your ass pummeled on if you wore it today?

I think my oldest is a DIO concert tee from 1983.

I've got two skinny ties:
the classic black
the miami vice dayglow baby-blue.
I've got two old metallica concert shirts.
A t-shirt from the Toledo Zoo Panda exhibit (i think that one's 85 or 88) that's totally badass, I wear it all the time.
Numerous tees from family vacations: my fave being the one from Fort Bliss, El Paso Texas that has an X made out of two missiles and says "U.S. Army Air Artillery." that one probably dates to about 86.
I've also got some hypercolor T-shirts.
unfortunately, I no longer have any Z. Cavaricci or Skidz. I would rock those suckas out daily (well, maybe not)

But the best one I've seen, was a T-shirt of a friend of mine from the Beastie Boys, Run-DMC concert.

My oldest is a blue, long sleeved, sharp collared shirt from 1972.... Even though I was born in 86.

The fact that I live in a small town in Illinois doesn't make me care.

My oldest? I can't wear it anymore, lest it crumble into dust, but it's still my favorite and has found a place on my wall of fame:

A tour shirt from an Iron Maiden concert, 1984.
