    Oasis star Noel Gallagher gives away his designer clothes to his local charity shop

    The 58-year-old guitarist is known for wearing Stone Island jackets, Adidas trainers and CP Company garments and he has now revealed that when his wardrobe gets too full he has a clear out and donates the expensive items.


    Noel knows he could sell them as collectibles worn by him, but he prefers to put the clothes back into the world so someone else can wear them without ever knowing who the famous previous owner was.

    But the Roll With It hitmaker says if you buy a second hand Stone Island jacket from a London Barnardo's and find a guitar plectrum in the pocket you'll know it once belonged to him.

    In an interview on the LIFEJACKET YouTube channel - created by former Soccer AM presenter John "Fenners" Fendley - Noel said: "I'm not a hoarder at all. I'll wait until my wardrobe is heaving and I'll keep most things and then I'll wake up one day and go, 'Right, it's all going.' And I'll just give it all to a charity shop. I don't really get sentimental about it.

    "I give them to charity shops because someone else should wear them. I don't want to put them on a website and say there mine and I don't want to leave them to my kids because they'll swap them for a choc ice when I'm gone.

    "My daughter [Anais] wears some of my gear and my eldest son Donovan will wear it, so I'll kind of pass it on to them. But I like putting it back out there. Someone else can walk into Barnardo's and go, 'What? £90 for that.' Just check the pockets, if there's a plectrum then it belongs to me!"

    Noel now lives in a flat in Maida Vale in West London since his divorce from second wife Sara MacDonald and the nearest Barnardo's charity shop is nearby in Marylebone.

    The rock icon - who this year reunited with brother Liam Gallagher for the Oasis Live '25 tour which saw fans snap up bucket hats and branded Adidas clothing - has given away some very expensive and highly collectible Stone Island pieces which sell for thousands of pounds now.

    But if he ever feels disappointed about giving away a jacket he could have sold for a hefty price, Noel just reminds himself that he's the guy who wrote Wonderwall and has millions in the bank.

    He added: "There's some Stone Island jackets I wish I'd kept. I had one of the first ever reflector jackets, mine was blue, and the lads in the shop were like, 'Have you still got that jacket? It's worth a fortune.' When they say it's worth a fortune I get a little but p***** off, I'm like, 'F*** off, no way.' And then I have to remind myself that I wrote Wonderwall."

    Noel's younger brother Liam, 53, is famous for wearing a parka or jacket on stage but he insists that they have never spoken about what they should wear when performing as Oasis.

    Noel said: "That's just how we dressed, so we never spoke about it, never once. We never really wore the same gear, although it was a similar style."
