Over time, things become so well worn that it’s time to get a new one. They don’t make things like they used to. When you use something every day, it’s hard to tell how well worn it is. It could be something vintage and collectible or just the hat you wear to work every day. You don’t have to throw it away, just toss it in the closet or something.
