It’s just getting comfortable! Continue to wear it in relaxed, casual situations. I know a few old school folks who happily wear their tattered khaki trousers and frayed Oxford cloth shirts around the house or on in-town errands.
ReplyDeleteI would cut it down and stitch whipping on the end to make a nice dog collar.
ReplyDeleteI love it Muffy and keep on wearin'!
ReplyDeleteWaste not, want not.
ReplyDeleteI wear my old clothes to do yard work. People probably wonder why that person is wearing a white shirt to work in the yard. My brother says I am the best dressed grass cutter.
ReplyDeleteThere was a post here that described the degrees of wear in clothing and where they were appropriate, from fresh out of the box to well-worn and frayed.
ReplyDeleteI might stitch the more degraded parts to prevent further unravelling, but stitched or not, I would absolutely keep wearing it.
ReplyDeleteI would get it repaired and keep going!
ReplyDeleteWhat good will it do in a landfill?
ReplyDeleteI would cut off the damaged parts and use it for something else instead.
ReplyDeleteMany wonderful years of use ahead!
ReplyDeleteIt's beginning to show signs of wear...
ReplyDeleteA seamstress could make that live-able for weekend wear again. Inspires me to take a tattered sleeved Brooks blue uni stripe button down in to convert into short sleeves rather than follow the wife’s plea to throw it away. -JDV
ReplyDeleteEasily fixed with a seam ripper, and easily redone with new ribbon, a sewing machine, and a new heavy-duty needle.
ReplyDeleteJust broken in.
