As a guy who has always worn hand-me-downs in child hood and teenage years I wear my clothes out until they are no longer wearable.
So I just convert them into rags or toss them in the trash once they have too many tears.
- acomjean 4y agoOn a construction site I was working on, the box of "recycled rags" was just old t-shirts cut up. they're still doing it: https://nowlinens.com/collections/tshirt-rags/products/pro-clean-basics-recycled-white-t-shirt-rags?variant=37823002149035 https://nowlinens.com/collections/tshirt-rags/products/pro-c...
- amelius 4y agoThere's only one written review and it says: > I ordered white tee shirt rags and that was probably the only thing that wasn't in the bag. It had sweatshirts shirts with collars just mostly trash I could have picked up at a yard sale for a couple bucks .
- kibwen 4y agoSame here. Nice clothes get worn until they get visibly tattered or stained, then they become pajamas or clothes for doing dirty work, then finally they turn into rags.
- thomasahle 4y agoAlong those lines, I also like to have my clothes repaired when they get the first tear or two. That usually adds a couple of years to their lives, and it costs way less money and effort than buying new clothes. (Perhaps depending on how much you usually pay for your clothes.)
- racl101 4y agoYeah me too. I got a few jogging pants that I've patched up a few times. Nothing wrong with them except for the hole in the crotch.
