I don't care if it's old. if it gets a hole, tear, stain, or feels subpar or threadbare, I throw it out.

I take a laundry marker and put the date of purchase on the inside near the label. Then each time I wear them, I put a dot. Lets me know how long the stuff lasts. I suppose a real fanatic could use different colors for different stores or whatever. I also draw a happy face in case I end up in the hospital or whatever. It also eliminates really quickly dates who aren't tolerant enough for my little habits.

I throw them out when the skid marks don't come out with a normal wash.

I stack them in the drawer after my wife washes them...unless I'm lazy and she does it.

Damn you must wear some big underwear for a chick...may want to check into OCD with a doc.

Agree, if you can't tell the difference, it doesn't matter. I toss out the ones that I can tell are old. Elastic on socks wears out and gets saggy. Underwear get holes in them. Shirts just get that beat up look to them -- when the "collar" (even though they don't have a true collar) of my undershirts get flimsy and can't support their own weight i throw them out.

It is easy.

umnm, I pretty much buy 20 pairs of boxers and 20 shirts every 6 months and throw out the old ones.

Age is not an indication of the condition of clothing. How many times it's been laundered is, so your proposed method of barcoding your items is useless unless it was used to track laundering. Hell, it's useless anyway because it's a complete waste of time. If they're worn out beyond your personal tolerance, toss them. If you really wanted to know, for whatever OCD reason, the age of your undies, write the date you first wear them in them with a sharpie.

What I think the world needs is a line of Garanimals for Engineers. You want to know which trousers match that blue shirt? Match the Elephant on the shirt label with pants with an elephant on the label! What to wear with those brown slacks? Find shirts have an alligator on the tag. It worked for toddlers the world over, it can work for you!

They also need a Garfemales...too many can't figure out how to match up with the opposite sex.

No man. Just no.

If it has stains, holes, rips, tears, or feels like crap, throw it out.
