Metope:
When I hear about how fast clothes usually fall apart for most people I'm always amazed, because for me most clothes last till I'm tired of them, which can be years. I don't think I'm more careful with my clothes than others, I wear them normally, wash them occasionally and use my floor as a wardrobe. I never get holes or tares in anything, so why do everyone else? How long does, say, a pair of jeans usually last for most people, because for me they last pretty much forever.

Also note that I'm not at all complaining, I'm just wondering.

Drill King:
I'm with Kris on this one, and as many can attest. I treat my clothing really roughly, my only issue is zippers breaking on jeans. And I have fixed this!

Beren:
I seem to get caught on random objects/walk into things and get holes in shirts. Other than that, I don't have much problem with clothes.

Oh, I tend to wear out shoes after about a year though. I seem to be hard on shoes.

Lines:
The only problem I have with clothes are usually jeans, because I fail to invest in high quality pants. And holes come from be snagging things at work because I bump into just about everything. Other than that, my clothes will last a really long time. I have some shirts from H&M and I haven't had a problem with them. They look pretty much the same as they did when I got them, which was over a year ago.

Shoes are different, though. I will wear them until they die and it really depends on how often I wear the shoe and whether or not they are made out of canvas. Canvas shoes typically last a year or so and others last longer. But if they are my favorite shoes, they will not last very long at all, because I'll wear them all the time and I am on my feet for most of the day.

est:
I don't understand people saying that jeans last forever.  How often do you wear your jeans?  When I get a good pair I pretty much live in them, and they last me maybe only a few years.  I mean, that is a pretty good length of time I think, but still it's not "forever". And I know that people say to not wash them and all that jazz but like, if I go more than a handful of days not washing my jeans they start to smell like sweat and I don't like that, so I wash them.  So I guess that in order to keep jeans forever you have to be a dirty hippie?  I just don't know.
