According to the thread, I bought my T5, baselayer, and arm warmers in 20th October 2010.
I've only just started wearing the arm warmers, so I'll ignore them.
I love the base layer. After almost daily wear, and weekly washes (I find that 4-7 days unwashed is fine) it is now starting to get a little looser and not as tight as it once was. But it's still fitted enough. All of the stitching is still good as is the colour (black).
The T5 is also in fine condition. It gets less use, as I tend to only wear it under a jacket in winder when it's really cold, and then on it's own commuting in the warmer bits of the spring, and then whenever I'm going on proper rides. Either way it's had plenty of use and it's still in good condition. I wash it like any of my other clothes, and now the arms are starting to get a bit shorter than they once were. But it's still fine for me.
All round I couldn't be happier. The only thing I'm still annoyed about is, despite asking they still haven't started making long sleeves... and I really don't get why!
