I have a few items that have been worn to death, like 10-15 years or more. One is a single breasted mid-length camel wool coat from Macy's that goes with pretty much everything. Another is a light to mid-weight brown wool trouser from Ann Taylor. They both still look OK from the outside (although the coat is a bit dingy) but the linings have a bunch of holes. The pant lining is so shredded that it's hanging down my legs. And the jacket lining has two large holes and several smaller ones. I asked the dry cleaner how much it would be to replace the lining for the pants and it was going to be something like $45, yikes! I didn't even bother asking about the coat because it was going to be crazy, I'm sure. So what do I do with these items? They're still usable, but not in top condition (like some of the fuzziness has rubbed bare on the coat sleeves). The pants are OK, I could cut out the lining altogether for the pants and just wear them unlined. But I think the coat would look funny with no lining or with patches inside. Should I just keep wearing them with the holes (since most people don't see the inside)? Or is there some cheap way to fix them? I am not handy with sewing and don't have a sewing machine. Or maybe it's just time to replace them and put the money toward new clothes? I kind of don't like wearing them anymore because the holes bug me (*I* know they're there).
