Dead clothes and charity shops

[TrillianAstra]

I have a few paris of jeans with holes in them, and not cool knee-holes but weirdy crotch-holes. I think it's becuse I cycle a lot. Or else it's my thighs rubbing together

Anyway, are they any good for anything?

I read on here at some point that some charity shops take dead clothes for osme kind of fabric reusing thingy. Anyone know which ones do that (if I haven't just imagined it)?

Paris of jeans? Pairs. Obviously.

Anyone? I don't want to just chuck them if there;s something useful that can be done.

british heart foundation shops take them and sell to the rag man

give to charity shop - they give crap clothes to rag man who pays by weight

Thanks, will take to BHF then if they will want them. Didn't want to dump crap on a random charity shop if they were just going to go like this

dh has spent part of this week sorting 'dead' cloithes for the ragman

what about shoes with holes in?

I wonder who the ragman is now?

I can remember rag and bone men coming round the street (v old me)

He used to shout 'rag-a-bone!' and I was terrified of him.

dh says they take shoes as well

thanks misdee

Oh, of course! How is he getting on?

he is getting on fine there.

he is feeling a bit unwell today though and has a slight temp, so i am panicking slightly.

when i was a kid our rag and bone man think he was called gypsy dick and his horse was called raggy farts pmsl he used to give us 5p for our old clothes (hes died now tho)but i remember him well

Lots of councils have 'bins' at a central location for recycling fabrics too - that's where all our really tatty stuff goes.
