It is with deep regret I have to inform you of the demise of my favourite tee shirt. It was looking shaky over the the last couple of washes - it finally fell into more holes than cloth yesterday.
It was a free promotional tee shirt that came with the release of Meatloaf's Bat Out Of Hell. I bought the album in Cambridge at the now long defunct Andy's Records, and it had their logo on the back. I wore it a lot.
It was made in America. Wikipedia tells me the album was released in 1977. I suspect the British release was a little after that, but in any event, the shirt lasted about 40 years. I'd imagine a new tee shirt today would last forty weeks.
So, do you have anything that's lasted and still in use for a comparable time?
