@GeofCox @crazydutchy @DJDarren A lot of the best quality articles of clothing I own are second-hand.

@plasmawiz @GeofCox @DJDarren I don't have any second hand clothing, that does not mean I have wasted a lot of money on clothing to begin with. And I wear it until it's worn out, after which I put it in one of those bags where it does get recycled, or given to people who can't afford to buy clothing.

You should get into it Monique. There are articles you can't easily buy - and probably don't want to - eg underwear - but when it comes to outer wear - shirts, dresses, trousers, coats, etc - secondhand is generally a much better quality/price deal - as well as more environment-friendly - even if you're really into the latest fashion there are specialist period retro shops (here in France anyway) that are really 'cutting edge'.

I try to buy everything I can secondhand - especially tech - I'm typing this on my son's discarded old laptop - windows wiped and linux loaded...

@GeofCox @plasmawiz @DJDarren I am really not into the latest fashion, I gave that up years ago. But who knows what I might do in the future. Never say never is my motto.

@GeofCox @crazydutchy @DJDarren I like to buy slightly oversized coats and jackets, and then tailor them to fit nicely. I like older style clothing and it is always a good project.
