Ok something non-Lemmy, non-Reddit related for a change.

I’m visiting a family member and I forgot to bring my swim trunks. There’s a closet with my old clothes in here (15-30 yrs), including a pair of trunks that I had literally used just once 15 years ago.

There’s no visible damage, insects, critters anywhere in this closet… Is this stuff safe to use? I also want to donate what looks good, so that’s another reason for asking.

    I’ve had old clothes fall apart on first use after being put back into circulation. So I’d definitely recommend washing them before wearing, to help avoid any potential incidents.

    Yup, no issue with it at all. Throw it in the wash if it smells or if it will make you feel better.
