Literally what everyone should be doing now for the environment. Clothes waste is a huge problem. The fact that people throw away stuff that can still be sold at thrift stores is appalling. Understandable if your body shape has changed or something, but "getting bored" of clothes is indefensible. This extends to people "getting bored" of phones and cars too, which is terrible.

Also: I'm in this picture and my wife hates me for it. I have something from 25 years ago thats still wearable.

OP's post has also missed the category of "sleep clothes".

There's no point to discard something that is still useful.

I really don't know the last time I got rid of an article of clothing besides shredded socks. I like this post.

I just went to the thrift store last month for clothes. And this is absolutely correct. The entire store was huge, and then there's two racks for men lol.

Something interesting I noticed is most of the men's clothes are nice shirts. Button downs, dress shirts, polos, all sorts of different fabrics, there was even a wedding shirt in there. Not a lot of tshirts, unless they're made of something different.

My theory is the men's clothes that ends up in thrift stores are the nice clothes given to them as gifts, or the wife found it and added it to her bag of clothes to donate.

This is true. I wear my socks until they are more hole than sock and I currently have a couple of shirts in the "home clothes" level that I got about 15-18 years ago.

Fuck fast fashion. Be a man. Save the planet.

There's another aspect of this. Y'all are assuming cycling out your wardrobe regularly is "normal" and men are "abnormal" because they don't. But the reason women cycle out their wardrobe regularly is not because of some universal law that men ignore, it's because women go through weight fluctuations that render their old clothes unwearable. You'll hear a woman talk about losing 30 pounds and having to buy new clothes because of that... the fact that women's fashion includes a lot of form-fitting items (whereas men's fashion is often looser or more forgiving) certainly contributes to this as well.

I have some items I've had for over 20 years I could still wear, because I haven't had any significant changes in figure in that time... because I'm a guy.

Shit, TIL I'm a man.

Ah well, now to pick which hole-ridden shirt will be my pajamas tonight.

The good men's clothes you find at thrift stores are there because the owner passed away and their next of kin donated them.

Yeah I do this. I never buy clothes myself. Usually kinda just acquire stuff over time. It goes good -> everyday -> work -> rags

So men are better for the environment?

The final use of a piece of clothing is as a wick for a Molotov cocktail.

I swear some of my underwear is 50:50 underwear to holes ratio.

Guilty.

This is so spot on I feel like the person that made this meme has been sneaking around my house to spy on me.

What is "the entrance"?

I’m still wearing clothes with holes in them. It’s not fair, if someone buys brand new ripped jeans that’s “fashion,” but if I do it I’m a “slob.”

I use my scrubs this way. And my jeans. Nothing else really lasts that long and I kinda blame the additional wear and tear from my boobs. I buy thick socks and mend them when they get a hole I guess.

The best part of this approach is that I don't buy clothes very often, saving money!

Donated men's clothing tends to be dead man's clothes

If good mens clothing was that hard to find in thrift stores, we would never have gotten the lyrics:

I wear your grandad's clothes,

I look incredible.

From what I've been seeing in memes recently, I wonder if this is just another shitty thing only seen at Goodwill, the worst thrift store chain ever.

And the problem with this is?

I'm currently wearing my painting clothes, working on painting the front hallway. The shorts are around 25 years old, and the shirt is about ten years old. The shorts only have a couple of small paint spots on them, and I admit that I wear them for everyday too. In preparation for painting, I used an old t-shirt as a rag.

Apart from underwear and socks, nearly all of my clothes are at least ten years old. My winter parka is about 35 years old and still looks fine, the color is just a bit faded. I have a belt that's over 40 years old, I got it in high school. It's my favorite belt.

I'm old, no one really cares what I wear as long as I'm decent.
