* The [[Transformation Sequence]] in ''[[Moldiver]]'' causes [[Clothing Damage|the user's clothes to get shredded]] if they don't undress first. When we see the main character buy some expensive new clothes, its fate was inevitable.
* ''[[Ranma One Half]]'': Akane is very proud and very happy. She has grown up a little bit, enough to make her buy a new bra. She never even got to wear it --[[Dirty Old Man|Happosai]] steals it off the hamper at the bathhouse and tries to force [[Gender Bender|female Ranma]] into it. Problem is, Ranma is significantly more grown up than Akane, and the bra is stretched out and ruined. Cue Akane's wrath.

* Marty is given a "[[Fashions Never Change|Western]]" outfit and a new pair of cowboy boots by Doc in ''[[Back to The Future]] III''. A bear eats the boots. Similarly, his ancestor gives him a new hat, only to have it lost and probably trampled by Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen's horse. The outfit gets torn up as Buford drags Marty down the street.

Line 85:
* Scrappy (the kid, not the dog) struggles to protect his ''Sunday Clothes'' (1931) in a theatrical short. He successfully dodges a gang of bullies and rides over a mudhole on a sewer worker's head, but in the end... [[Failure Is the Only Option|well...]]
