How long can you wear suit jackets for until you look ridiculously dated?
I have a fairly expensive one I purchased about 12 years ago which is my only one, and I have no idea how bad I would look if I wore it now.
does a classic style stay a classic style for quite some time?

When it comes to suits, the style is really in the fabric and the fit. They still make suits today that (in terms of pattern/fabric/etc) could have been worn 50 years ago.
As long as it's not a trendy pattern or colour and fits you well, it isn't going to look any worse today than it did 12 years ago. Might be worth going to a tailor to have it re-fitted, but that should suffice.
