Fellow blogger Adam Holisky covered the vast myriad of outfits that raiders and hybrids need to do their jobs recently, and it got me to thinking. I certainly know how that goes, as a feral druid, I carry 3 and half outfits on me at all times, and I still occasionally find a spare piece of Molten Core fire resistance gear I forgot to destroy when the expansion hit. But there's other outfits I have too.
My Warlock still keeps around his Silver-thread gear, because It looks pretty spiffy. My Hunter has a full set of Defias leather, because black leather is sort of an awesome look. My Druid has his old Tier 1 and Tier 2 sets because they make him look like a proper Archdruid for Roleplay events. I have Winter Clothing, Lunar Festival dresses and suits, Lovely Red Dresses, even an Easter Dress scattered about among my characters. Some of my 70s have Grayson's Torch keeping a spot in their bank just in case I ever need to join an angry mob. My Shaman still keeps his Stillpine Defender around because it's the perfect Witch Doctor shield. Even if he is a Draenei rather than a Troll. I mean, I don't even wear have this stuff more than once every 2 months, but I can't bring myself to throw it away! It looks too cool.
So as much as I sometimes complain about bank space, I have to admit that some of the fault is mine. Sometimes I can't get rid of things even when they have no direct gameplay value. You will never make me throw away my Sang'thraze, never never never!
So what about you? Do you have outfits or quest items or other things you just refuse to throw away, be it for looks or sentimental value? If you have full outfits like me, do you ever actually get to wear them?

I've got a bunch of leftovers I can't bear to throw out -
Still have my Elements set, two or three of my old helmets, Skins of Shadow, old quest rewards - I even have the Hammer of Orgrimmar that Thrall gave me.
Oh, and my 80+ dress collection, =P

My lvl 50 rogue still has the complete defias set, mask and all. I like hanging out around Deadminds on slow days and making the newbies think it's just that awesome a set. That and the occasional emote that someone has just pick-pocket them for several silver is very entertaining as well.

I will never, ever get rid of my http://www.wowhead.com/?item=18510 (Hide of the Wild). I HATE the Plaguelands with an all-consuming passion, and I spent HOURS grinding carrion grubs for the stupid larval acid to have that thing made. I'm not healing-specced anymore, and I (finally, after much longer then you might think) got a better cloak for my healing off set, but I simply will never have the heart to DE or vendor this thing.

My level 60 bank alt walks around in a full set of Twill gear. It's actually the only gear he still has, as he is but a humble fisherdwarf.

how did i level to 70 without my hydrocane??? the mind boggles.
having never learned from the darnassus weapons master (bow, staves, throwing weapons, daggers) cos the toon was a dwarven warrior, i finally went back to do some azeroth rep and realised i had to either drink some underwater breathing potions or get a hydrocane for some lowbie swimming quests.
being too lazy to drink pots, i ran gnomer up to fallout (who drops hydrocane). just hop into the instance (aggro is nothing warrior takes zero dmg from the gnomer mobs), run direct to the edge of the pit and drop on gear, eat to restore health. if you got a skyguard cape its even less impact. then kill fallout. if it didnt drop, just run back up and out of instance, reset instance, and go right back in.
my hydrocane dropped on the 3rd run. and i picked up the toxic revenger on the 2nd run, so now i can level dagger and stave on the lowbie quests for rep.
i'll be dumping the dagger real soon, but that hydrocane is a thing of beauty and a joy forever.
