Jerseys - How many is too many?

jackets, long sleeve, short sleeve and sleevless are hanging... the racer backs are folded/stuffed into a cubby.... i have 1/2 the closet with a bar... under that bar are 6 "cubbies" that hold the previously mentioned racerbacks, shorts, tights, workout pants, workout pant/jacket sets/ long sleeve/thermal tops and cycling underwear thermals... the other side of the closet and above the bar is wire shelving (closet maid) and i stack the rest of my workout clothes (sports bras, tops, shorts) and jammies (and some sweatshirts and turtlenecks on the very top shelves)

socks and headbands are in baskets on the floor (separate workout socks from cycling socks)

gloves, arm and leg warmers are in the garage in baskets (as well as helmets and shoes) in baskets or on shelves in a stackable sections by the bikes....

hubby's jerseys all hang in the computer room closet... he gets about a 1/4 of the bar (i have some other stuff in there and the other half has stuff stacked/stored up to to the bar) he keeps his shorts in the closet in our bedroom in cubbies...

OK, I'm home now and can check:

god, this is embarrassing

My cycling wardrobe:

tops:
3 tanks
4 sleeveless jerseys
3 shortsleeve jerseys
4 longsleeve jerseys
2 longsleeve baselayers
4 light jackets
2 rain jackets

bottoms:
3 shorts
1 knickers
1 unpadded capri coverpant
2 unpadded tights
2 rain pants

accessories:
2 pr short finger gloves
2 pr full finger gloves
1 pr booties
4 pr wool socks
1 pr armwarmers
1 bolero
1 helmet rain cover
1 balaclava


I think that's everything. :eek: At least I can console myself with the idea that a lot of my cycling clothing also gets used as ski layers in winter and general outdoor wear. Most items are neutral colors and designs, I really only have 3 "loud" jerseys for fun events and occasions.

Top left: socks
Top right: winter (3 LS, armwarmers, tights, knickers)
Middle (has two baskets in the center):
Left: sleeveless
Left bin: tanks & sports bras

Ummm first of all i have to share what ian just said "they're all ill'-(he's a boy....)

Dianyla-wow!!!
I have three bike jerseys, two pairs of shorts & a couple pairs of socks. We share the rainjacket as i lost one..Would love one more pair of shorts, another jersey and a nice rain jacket.
I supposedly have a Canadian bike jersey coming in the mail (my dad found one!!!) but it was sent a month ago & still hasn't arrived....

ROFL - I have a "cycling room" where my bikes live and I have a dresser there for some of my bikie clothes, then I use the closet in the spare room for the rest of them. I didn't count but I figure since I can go 2 wks without doing laundry, I have enough underwear, enough shirts, and enough bikie clothes! ;) :D

I only have 5 jerserys and I constantly want more. All have sleeves and my next investment is some sleeveless jerseys for summer. In Texas we hardly need long sleeves, I have yet to buy a single long sleeve jersey. I have one set of arm warmers, two sets of tights and a light weight jacket. This is enough for Texas. I have 4 sets of shorts. I do have way too many pairs of socks. I always want to buy those in 2s or 3s?

My husband would be happy if we could have our own room just for cycling clothes and bikes.

Let's see now. I've got:

2 long-sleeved and 1 short-sleeved Coolmax shirts; not actually cycle jerseys, but close-fitting wicking fabric so near enough.

1 Jaggad short-sleeved jersey, which I don't much care for.

And just today, my Where The Wild Things Are jersey arrived from PrimalWear :D

When I'm commuting, I just tend to wear Bonds t-shirts; I'm not on the bike for long enough to worry about high-tech fabrics and aerodynamics.

I see I need to start doing some more shopping. All the cycling specific clothing I own is a pair of cycling socks. They were a gift from Trek420 a while back:D : yellow with "Impeach Bush" in big black letters. Very compfy. I'm wearing them at the moment. Hopefully in May I will aquire a jersey and a pair of shorts or two and some propre cycling shoes.....:rolleyes:

Looks like I have some shopping to do to catch up with some of you ladies!! :eek: :p This is what I have:
4 short sleeved jerseys
1 technical top
4 pair shorts
1 pair tights
1 reflective jacket/windbreaker
1 pair toe covers
4 pair gloves
Countless socks

I need to get some arm & leg warmers, a couple long sleeved jerseys and a couple more short sleeved ones, then I am good to go. Heh, I am going helmet shopping this weekend, maybe I can sneak a jersey in there as well!

Caligurl WHOA--

We are not worthy!!! :D

Clearly your wardrobe rules.

I think I'm going to have to join Tikiwi and UKElephant in the minimalists club. :)

Nearest thing to a cycling jersey I own is a Katmandu top.

One pair of knicks, no special socks, mountain bike shoes, rain jacket, one pair of fingerless gloves and helmet ... that's it.

Oh yes, forgot to mention I am about to make some arm warmers now that the weather is turning cooler down here.
