I have two beanies from 1997
Liz Claiborne slacks from 99
My leather pants I got in Germany in 98 magically disappeared My wife swear she has no idea what happened to them. I loved those leather pants. Sometimes for more shock reaction I put on a black mesh shirt on and put my nipple rings on the outside.

I still have a bunch of local band shirts from high school.

None of them fit, though, because I was like a buck forty back then.

I have some t-shirts I got in late 2010. One of them I still regularly wear as an undershirt.

I have a vintage TapOut shirt from 2012. I save it for special occasions.

I have an old leather WW2 Luftwaffe bomber jacket that my grandfather "acquired" during his time over there.









*I really don't, but I wish that I did. 🤣

He actually did "acquire" some pretty cool Nazi artifacts, though, but my dipshit dad sold it all for pennies. Fucking retard, probably bought drugs with it.

Had a sweet decorative rifle bayonet with the eagle on it, if memory serves me right.

My leathers , shirt I used to wear under my pads when I played ball.

Two oldest things are probably what's left of a pair of black n white steel toe Brogue's I wore with my suits that Felony ( our old Bulldog ) chewed up when she was just a pup. Lost a couple of her baby teeth that night doing it , we found em so I kept the shoes as a souvenier sort of.

The other would be a black cashmere overcoat , 3 button I think it's from the early 60s or late 50s , was my grandfathers. That only comes out for weddings , funerals, Christmas Mass , Christenings , you get the idea.

Those were issued to the MP's and police later in the war , 26" bayonets with an eagle head for the handle.

Handles had the eagles head on the sides like grips with some wreaths around it over big ol swasteekah

It's been awhile, so I could be remembering it wrong, but I thought it had an eagle on the butt of the handle, over a white quartz underlay, maybe? 🤔

It's been about 20 years since I've seen the stuff.

I'm still pissed at my father for basically giving the stuff away.

That seems fairly common. My grandfather had a german pistol and other memorabilia from the occupation. He let my uncle "borrow" it to show his kids and he promptly sold it for alcohol or drugs.

We do still have an old map of the 2nd armored division's route that's framed on my father's wall.

I think everything I wear and own is either vintage or antique. I have 50 year old jackets that still look good. I despise shopping for clothing and I hate spending money. I have enough old stuff for two lifetimes.

Probably not what you're talking about but I do have a lot of 30-year-old hunting gear. I have a Columbia hunting jacket that went for about $250 35 years ago.

Outside of that, I do have a 20-year-old t-shirt from a powerlifting competition that I keep for sentimental values. The guy that ran the federation was a friend and passed away

Also an old StrengthFirst tee-shirt, of anyone knows what that is
