I bought my wallet in April 2000, a cheap faux leather foldy wallet. It's a bit weathered but still works.
I have a big wool sweater I got as a present from my then-girlfriend whish looks pristine and still smells a bit of lanolin. That is from 98 or 99.
I only have one belt. It's a leather belt I got in my teens, so about 30 years ago. I use it, not daily, but close. That is also a bit worn. I don't remember it as some high-quality item when we bought it. It came with two different buckles; a simple normal one and a big gaudy texas-flag rocker-style which I never used.
I also had a The North Face jacket that deserves an honorable mention. I got it in 99 and I used for almost 20 years. Ten years in the zipper gave up and I went to the store where it was bought and asked if it could be repaired and how much it would cost. They took the jacket and asked for my address. A week later it came back with a new zipper, no charge. I really miss that jacket. The layers started to separate and the goretex membrane started to fail.
