What's the oldest item of clothing you have?

Mine is an Ocean Pacific sweatshirt I bought in 1987 for the princely sum of ?30 which is about 75 quid in today's money.

I had to travel all the way from Lincoln to Nottingham by train to buy it as that was the nearest town for 'cool' clothes. It's a very 80's peach colour with a garish multi coloured large image on the back of a surfer riding a huge wave.

I had to save up my pocket money for ages to buy it and my parents thought I was nuts to waste such an amount on one top, but 29 years on I still have it tucked away in a drawer to wear with joggers on a Sunday whilst lying on the sofa recovering from a heavy night before, so 'Ner!' Mum and Dad.
