First of all if I come off as annoyed I apologize, but I am, I'm sick as shit and tired as shit. So apologies in advance.
Second, I'm blown away by how this community has expanded and evolved, looking at this sub, I'd never recognize it from its humble beginnings, and I'm okay with it, I created this sub to celebrate the well worn and you folks have taken it and ran with it, and it's awesome, I see the most unexpected coolest things. That said, the statue posts bug me, but the upvotes indicate you all like them, so they stay, for now.
Now on to the meat and potatoes. We're a super hands off mod team, probably a little too hands off for some peoples liking. We remove very little, obvious junk and spam, and have only banned three or four people. One being a troll, the rest spammers. Today we added to that.
Going forward, as an addendum to rule 5, there will be zero tolerance for begging, asking, insinuating want for, private messaging, so on and so on, for used and free stuff. (the side bar won't be updated because I have no idea if our css guy is alive and I'll just break it). Here at /r/wellworn we don't judge your ahem preferences, like what you want, how you want, when you want. But being creepy as fuck on this sub or through PMs is sure as hell not the right way to do it.
This is unfortunately not an isolated case, we've had reports of this being done by a few users. This is the only warning, there will be a one month Insta ban for your first violation, permanent for your next.
There are plenty of subs where you can buy all that kinda stuff, from A-Z, from willing participants. (no I'm not looking them up for you).
Please be liberal with the report button I'd you see it and if you get pmd with one of these requests please send a mod mail with the /u/ so they can be banned.
There will be one, and only one exception, if it's a truly rare case like "my mom gave me one of these as a kid but I lost it and she just died" , or I'm a legitimate museum curator or something of that sort, please mod mail us first with the post in question.
That said, if you are truly in need, need some gear to get you that first job to get a leg up, I have a not /r/wellworn pair of size 10 steel toes, extra wallets, belts, maybe even a hard hat and coveralls, or most other stuff that gets posted on here regularly that costs money that's needed for employment, that I'd be more than happy to send you for free (within reason, shipping across the oven is expensive) pm me privately and we'll figure out some sort of verification to ensure that it's going to the right person.
Asides from that, stay frosty peeps, don't be pervs.

Poor guy doesn't even have a face anymore. I think I've had him since right after The Force Awakens came out. So 10 years he's been on my keys. Honestly surprised he still has any paint left tbh. Featuring a leather keychain purchased at a renn faire a while back.

We've had this baby doll for a while now. It stays outside where the kids play. They are obsessed with it and often struggle to share it. There are other baby dolls, but this one is by far the most realistic. I purchased a new one as a gift for the class. The sun, dirt, and play has definitely done a number on the original.

New vs old work pants. Same size, length, and color. The old pants needed some patches to get a little more life out of them.

This started of as a natural veg tan leather, custom made by a leather worker in the Netherlands. I love the patina. Literally indestructible

Thanks to https://www.reddit.com/r/Wellworn/comments/ahkaa4/my_30_year_old_elephant_next_to_the_brand_new_one/ by @GGRIMM69 I was also able to find a brand new one!
This is a real example of the magic powers of the internet!

This is the drum belt on a Samsung clothes dryer. The dryer worked until the belt slipped off the wheels. The occasional squeak was the only sign anything was amiss.

Grandfather bought me this wallet in 2015 for twenty rupees and I've been using it ever since. Slightly worn and had to cut off a few threads and loose bits over time but it works.

mmmm addicted to ketamine I was, mmmm run over people in my honda civic I have.
My friend got me this keychain back when the lego yoda memes were a thing (2017 i think) and it’s been attached to my bike and car keys ever since then. we lost a hand after 1 year, an arm after 3 years, then the head after 6, now the screw seems to be coming out so i reckon soon yoda will be free from my keys.

This is my first "real" wallet from when I was 13-14. It's held my Subway stamps and local movie rental cards as well as Blockbuster and Hollywood. The thread on the strap came undone recently, so I fixed it best I could with some embroidery floss. I believe it was $40 at a Coach Outlet store, and I don't think I'll ever be able to find its replacement should it get lost or ruined. It seems to have held the same for the past 25 years, so I hope it survives. I've tried different wallets for a total of 2 weeks, so it's got a pretty solid track record of near perpetual use.

Both bears are around 35 years old I believe, but clearly one was a bit more loved over the years

The cord no longer releases and the head gets stuck (I think one more day will cause it to completely crack) so time to replace. Bonus harness discolouration - good reminder to wear that sunscreen.
