My wife and I are at the same place re clothes. I’m 81 and she is heading into 80 very soon.

She wears basically the same size as when we got married 58 years ago. Her good dressy clothes are still in style.

I have 2 tuxes, 4 good sport coats, 4 pair of dress slacks and a go to funeral and weddings suit.

We have donated a lot dress clothes and semi dress clothes in the past 2 years.

What wears out, are our everyday stuff or clothes to go to lunch or a meeting or to play bridge with friends.

She bought me a Pendleton shirt to replace the one I inherited from my Dad decades ago and a Pendleton pull over Merino sweater to replace the one headed for Good Will. The western shirt will be worn today for an early dinner and bridge playing.

I got her a water proof/wind proof jacket with a hood in a bright color.

If you have reason to own 2 tuxes you have been blessed, my good man.

Happy new year to you!
