It would have to be ripped or torn. I seldom throw anything out but give them to a goodwill organization. Actually Vietnam Veterans of America. Everything - tops, dresses, pants, coats.
something ripped or torn definitely. i probably have a pair of leggings around somewhere that are ripped. i do have to go through my clothes and donate some. I buy too many clothes
The inside lining is what doesn't fit. The rest of the coat is flare and it's in great condition. I keep thinking that I should take it to a tailor and have them put a gusset in the side seams to widen the lining to the width of the coat. I'd get another 30 years out of it.
