If you were not allowed to acquire any new clothes, how long do you think your current wardrobe would last? (lemmy.ca)

Context: I noticed I have some clothes from 10 years ago that are still good to wear, and some newer things I have barely worn yet. I wondered if I reached a point where all the clothes I own would be enough to last for the rest of my life. There is a dresser and a closet worth of things.

For the sake of this question, let's say you can't buy, borrow, steal, receive as a gift, find, or make anything new to wear. All you get is what you have now. Is it enough?

That's just not true for modern washing machines

You're probably thinking about archaic, inefficient, wasteful washing machines that only exist in one country

We bought a front loader last year and we can already see the extra wear in clothes. We went back and were told yeah that can happen since the machine runs so much faster then old machines.

Clothes are wearing out faster

Edit even after a few washings a t-shirt is showing wear signs
