Each of these pieces of clothing had been abandoned on the ground somewhere.
I walked past the winter coat pictured on the left and also the "Los Angeles 79" hoodie many times; they'd been rained on repeatedly before I decided their owners would never return to reclaim them. The UnderArmor compression shirt was of more recent abandonment, but it was in the middle of a grassy field where industrial lawnmowers threatened it if it hung out there much longer. The grey hoodie was one my husband found by the side of an empty road and brought home as a gift to me. (I tell people that he must truly love me if he's willing to bring me a gift that costs $0; most people I know would shudder at the thought, despite knowing me so well).
Aside from needing a good laundering, they were all in perfect condition. Now they're laundered. I'll release some of them back into the world via "Free" boxes and/or thrift shop donations. The hoodie my husband gifted me, I'm keeping; it's become one of my favorites to cuddle up in.
