I don't seem to throw away clothes very often so it's a bit surprising. However, things don't actually biodegrade in landfills, so I'm not sure that should actually be an important concern.
Patagonia is trying to pitch reuse and recycling of its clothes, but it's actually quite difficult to recycle clothing, in particular because it's hard to tell what it's made of.
