I think perhaps he meant that, as part of the collection, there is a pair of each that you just can’t part with. I have a pair of shoes that probably could go (in fact, I have a much cleaner, less used pair of the same shoe), but it’s good to have them for rainy days, going to a concert, etc.

The underwear, as I’ve grown, if it’s got holes and stringies, it’s going. Maybe when I was younger.
