Answer:
One assumes you mean "wear and tear", which is the ageing of clothes, especially, through wearing, washing etc. The term has spread to many other items, such as cars. The term "fair wear and tear" means reasonable damage coming with age and use of an item, such as a hire car can have slight scratches and scrapes around the boot from luggage, but a large dent in the door is not "fair wear and tear".
