Can you fit into clothes you bought 10 years ago?

[Alan H]

I have to qualify my answer by saying that I can still fit into my High School Lettermans jacket, which is the only thing I still have from High school...well, besides my boy scout merit badge sash.

However, that thing was VOLUMINOUS in HS. I lettered in wrestling, my Jr. year, wrestled at 198 in 1974 and 1975.

I actually still have a completely polyester "leisure suit" from college, folded away in a trunk. Think "disco"...as in Saturday Night Fever, which was *BIG* when I was in college at UC Santa Barbara. Unfortunately the gaudy shirt that went with it, melted down in a radioactive fit of self-immolation about 20 years ago. The leisure suit still survives. The notion of fitting into it now is just laughable.

BTW, when we get to about 40 respondants, I'm going to manually tot this up...

A. those who can wear clothes for 10 years or more
B. those whose body changes/changed drastically enough that they can't wear clothes for anywhere near that long
C. in between...like "jackets fit, pants don't"....or .... "I can wear clothes I bought three years ago , but not ten years ago" and so on.

It will be interesting to see how many folks fit int
