Couple things come to mind. I've had one of those baby leathermans on my keyring for 15 years, the one that is like a mini-pair of needlenose pliers, knife and bottle opener. It's fully hosed up visually and I broke the file off of it years ago but it's come in handy more times than I can count tbh. Mostly the bottle opener. But also a tiny pair of pliers comes in handy more often than you think.

The other is a leather jacket I've had for about as long. I mostly retired it last year because the zip finally broke, but it was/is a seriously quality thing. The back has like naturally turned like dark brown suede from abrasion, it's got sort of 'bigger' somehow over the years, the pockets both broke fully after like 10 years, so now I have mega sized pockets. Wore it like 80% of the year, every year, took it to like 25 different countries. Got a lot of sentimental value to me so I can't get rid of it now. The inner lining is still completely intact, only a couple of loose threads around the collar, and believe me I've abused the gently caress out of it. If I was a millionaire, I'd probably go to some special leather care place and spend whatever it would cost to fix the zip and pockets and give the leather some TLC even if its a little bit comically over-sized now.
