In addition to my beloved WW vest, I also use regularly: --one of the first RBW ball caps (tan w/blue bill) and still wear it a lot, mostly in the summer. It's my favorite gardening hat, and the dark blue bill has faded considerably.
--A couple years ago I sprang for one of the short-billed RBW caps, a reincarnation of the older, thicker BOB "mechanic's" cap. I'd had the BOB cap but it was simply too big for my head, so I gave it to a friend. The RBW version fits me much better and mostly sees use at work when I'm trying to hide especially bad "helmet hair". --a pair of MUSA shorts. They're a touch short-waisted for most women, I think; but mine fit just well enough to be useful. On the bike with Andiamos, off the bike with regular unides, very comfortable and breathable summer-weight short. Because they're very lightweight, the pockets don't really transport anything of weight very well (like wallet or keys) but that's a small price to pay. Because of the overall fit I doubt I'd ever buy the pants or knickers, and frankly I have better-fitting choices in that department anyway. (LADIES! -- Swrve makes the best-fitting, best-looking knickers for women EVER, and very affordable cotton-blend versions can be found on eBay. Like MUSA, they're made in America.) --a seersucker and a railroad shirt, one each, both of which I wear often. I'm especially fond of the railroad shirt, which has softened up beautifully with successive washings and now feels like my favorite oldest pair of Wrangler jeans. The seersucker shirt is nice enough to wear under a vest at brunches and other "dressier" things, and cooling on warm-weather rides. --a Woolistic LS jersey, gray with the red-green-black striping. It's a little thin; holes began to appear after only a year of regular use (as both a jersey and a casual indoor sweater), and I have dutifully stitched up each tiny hole as it appears. Compared to my Oregon Rando jersey, also made by Woolistic, the Riv jersey isn't holding up quite as durably and I doubt I'd buy another. Sicne Woolistic moved manufacturing to China, I feel less inclined to support them in the future; and there are several excellent choices for US-made wool jerseys now. (I'm particularly fond of Kucharik, which Rivendell has carried for some time; but there are others.) --my Slapts are the funkiest-yet-most-functional Rivendell item I've purchased to date.
