@ellens, I still have and on occasion wear out to the mailbox or dumpster one of the 1st X-mas gifts my hubby gave me in 1965. It is a loden green nylon, insulated ski parka that saw much wear in NV and MN and still is donned in TX for those really quick icy treks to and from house! While other parkas and warm gear was purchased over the decades, this "vintage" relic is one that never fails to bring a smile and dry warmth 55 yrs later! lol
P.S. I also still frequently use a wedding gift Oster blender too...not clothing but just saying that just because something has been well broken in, if it still serves the purpose, why not???? vbg

I have a number of very warm clothes that would be considered vintage. They still serve their purposes well. Speaking of kitchen items, I still use a Corning Ware coffeepot and other items from my mother, grandmothers, great grandmothers, and even a great-great grandmother.

@fiesty 76..."Vintage relics" were made to last. I have a few of those around the house. My kids used to tease me that I'm hoarding, but back in those days, things were made in the USA. Nowadays, it's hard to find anything that's not made in China and the quality is just not the same. If it's not broke, keep it.
