One of the annoying things I have found about getting older and getting attached to certain garments is that when you finally realize what a treasure you have, you cannot replace them. Usually the brand name is no longer available or it comes in different colours/fabrics/cuts now.

I had a pair of sandals once that were fantastic. By the time they wore out, the manufacturer had moved on to different styles and materials. Roots still makes footwear; they just don't make those ones anymore.

I had a Viyella shirt once - 70% cotton / 30% wool that was styled like a Confederate officer's uniform shirt. It was soft and comfy right from the get-go. But when it wore out, it was not replaceable. The elbows went first, so it became a short sleeve shirt for a while. But eventually the whole thing disintegrated.

I could go on.....

Damn this ephemeral world we live in! Styles and cuts and fabrics just have too short a fashion life. <_<
And you may call it righteousness
When civility survives,
But I've had dinner with the Devil and
I know nice from right.
