How about some functional clothing?  Banana Republic sells very durable
clothing, with all sorts of redundancy built in.  I am wearing a pair of
their "Jungle fatigues".  These have two sizes of extra buttons sewn into
the waist, drawstrings at the ankles to keep bugs out, big baggy pleated
pockets, and this little stitch near the knee which unfolds when you bend
your leg and folds when you unbend them.  Also, a little thing to tighten
when you gain or lose weight.  These beasts cost $40 but they'll last three
times as long as clothes which cost half as much.
