I still have one sweater that I wore in high school. That was 1964-1968 (the sweater is probably from near the end of that span).
Recently my wife complemented me on another sweater she didn't remember seeing (we've been married about seven years). I told her I bought it in 1976. It's a bit odd looking (and I think she was being polite), but warm.
Otoh, I have worn through the knee of a number of jeans, and they either get turned into shorts or donated (and probably turned into rags). Recently I was quickly wearing out the left elbow of long sleeve shirts, but this stopped with covid. Either I was wearing it out on my office desk (it's L-shaped, with the arm part of the L on my left) or on my car door (as in most of the world, the driver's side of my car is on the left).
