My wife and I were moving some stuff out of a closet where we keep some of our memories such as photos, kid's projects, etc. There was a suitcase that we thought was empty, but in fact was full. Curiosity got my wife, so she threw it on the bed and opened it. As I'm knee deep in the closet, she says, "it's only your old clothing", I'll put it in a bag for Goodwill.
Of course, my immediate response was..."how old?" She them pulls out my old Members Only jacket. I told her ..."It's ready!

ROFL! I'm still wearing that stuff!
😵
(I think it's come around again?)

My first thought is always "I wonder if they will sell".

A treasure trove!!

It may come back into fashion, you never know.

For a while Members Only was hot.
IAC, the 90s clothes from my closet that I *have* sold (not young enough to carry the styles off anymore) has gone for $$$. But it's all the cyber/goth/punk stuff. I'm still wearing the UFO and Maharishi stuff, though.
It's always a good idea to clean out those closets and attic spaces, though! I've found some real treasures simultaneously with thinking "Crud...where has all that time gone?"

I think the best part was catching my wife's eye-roll and her barely audible comment "you would sell me if you could".
🤔....I decided to remain silent.

So, are you the last member? 😀

So, I should let my green military fatigue pants (circa 1985) go ?

I still have a sweater from my trousseau -- in 1968.
And my junior prom dress- from 1962.

Happy birthday !

Don't knock the stuff you used to wear. I found my old Doc Martens jean jacket from the late 80s in the back of a closet. Got a good price for it, not to mention the bragging rights that it still fit!
