My winter coat is over 16 years old. I know this because I bought it right before I got pregnant with my 16 year old. I planned to buy a new one this year, but then my husband lost his job.
I have a favorite sweater that is 20 years old.
My problem with my son's wardrobe isn't that it's old, it's just that they look trashy, the jeans have a huge hole in the knee and he wears them everywhere- including, if I don't stop him, church. And mostly, he's in trouble for some bad behavior recently, and part of his punishment is that he has to wear what we have designated his school uniform- khaki slacks and some polo shirts in solid colors.
The kid doesn't have any electronic gadgets or games for us to take away.
