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 when his wardrobe gets too full he has a clear-out and donates such items.

Gallagher 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 knowing who the famous previous owner was.

But the Roll With It hitmaker said if you buy a second-hand Stone Island jacket from a London Barnardo’s shop and find a guitar plectrum in the pocket then 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 – Gallagher 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 they’re 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 [$210] for that’. Just check the pockets, if there’s a plectrum then it belongs to me!”

Gallagher has lived in a flat in Maida Vale, West London, since his divorce from second wife Sara MacDonald and the nearest Barnardo’s charity shop is in Marylebone.

The rock icon, who this year reunited with brother Liam Gallagher for the Oasis Live ’25 tour that saw fans snap up bucket hats and branded adidas clothing, has given away some expensive and collectible Stone Island pieces that 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, Gallagher reminds himself that he has created hit songs and has millions in the bank.

“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 bit 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 they have never spoken about what they should wear when performing as Oasis.

Gallagher 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.”
