Hmm I do not know about this shael. Do not get this wrong I really appreciate your help all the time, buuuut shouldn’t we treat sigils of our God‘s especially Satan‘s sigil with great respect?
In my eyes it doesn’t fit if you jump around with Fathers Sigil..
Aside from the security/privacy implications I had mentioned, I see no issue with it whatsoever. What is there about proudly wearing His sigil, that you would consider disrespectful?

But with clothing.. you use them wear them, and throw them away, they get dirty etc. Idk doesn’t feel right in my eyes :/
How you treat your clothes is up to you personally. You don't have to slam a sigil onto every pair of pants or every shirt. This advice was directed to OP who mentioned that he used this clothing in a spiritual sense. This, in my opinion, puts it more into the category of
props, similarly to a candle or satanic rosary, as opposed to "regular" clothing.
That aside, having a few pieces of regular clothing that have sigil(s) of our Gods on them, should not be "disrespectful" in the slightest either, as long as you treat those clothes with respect, too. You don't have to "throw them away". You wear them proudly, and if they do get dirty at one point, you just wash them. As long as you stay conscious of your security & privacy, I don't see any issues here.
A huge part of "respect" is about your mental attitude with things. Satan and the Gods
know what is in our hearts, and as such if something is done with no disrespect intended, it usually is just fine(this is excluding blatantly stupid things of course. Always use your brain.). For example, when I was younger and did the dedication, I had to flush the ashes down the toilet to protect my privacy. Many members have done this, and the Gods do not mind this, as it is a matter of necessity and no disrespect is intended.
As such, if you had such a shirt with a sigil on it, and it would rip, or get too small for you after a while, then the optimal thing to do would be to keep it stored somewhere out of respect. However, in many situations where this is
not possible, it should be completely fine to give it away. You can get creative too. For example if you have to throw it away, you could use a pair of scissors to cut out the sigil from it and then atleast keep that somewhere, before throwing away the rest.
Keep in mind that wearing such clothes is not in any way "required" to honor the Gods. It is just something that some people may like to do out of personal preference.
