I can't imagine that 3 years of data is even remotely enough for this. I have articles of clothing that are decades old (3+ decades old), but I have never bought any piece of clothing expecting it to last that long, and the clothing that lasts isn't always the type that I'd expect. At best, 3 years is enough for a "snapshot" of the life of most clothing, I would think.

Then again, I've owned the same car for the last 21 years, so maybe I am not a typical consumer.
