'Fess up:no. of jerseys

[shootingstar]

Just peeked at new cycling jerseys. Probably a good thing I can't afford to spend on yet another new jersey. Besides probably have enough that I've forgotten I had certain jerseys.

So I confess that I have:
9 short sleeved cycling jerseys
3 long sleeved cycling jerseys. (Thank gooodness for multiples, my luggage is temporarily lost in Seattle with a jersey packed inside.)
1 sleevless cycling jersey --haven't worn this yet. I bought it before I moved to Vancouver. Find our summers not hot enough to wear it.

Keep in mind, I didn't start wearing any cycling jerseys until 10 years after returning to cycling! Used to be very anti-cycling jersey oriented. I didn't want to look sporty at that time even though I was piling in 5,000-6,000 kms. annually in T-shirt years.

Surely there are some serious cycling jersey affectionados here that would blast past these above numbers.

I've come a long way, maybe too much, jersey wise. But better than buying too many purses.

oh, 1 yellow vest, 1 yellow jacket, 1 leopard print jacket and my showers pass raincoat

It's easier now that I only wear hi-viz. There's zero temptation to buy jerseys I don't need.

I did get a club jersey, but very rarely wear it (and only when I know I'll be in a large group for the entire ride). Then, of the jerseys I still have from 25 years ago, I still wear two wool Cortina jerseys in the coldest weather.

3 long sleeve
4 sleevless
8 short sleeve

I thought I had more but that is what I just counted. I have two jackets, which is a bit funny since I live in Texas and one would do!

Ahh this is a tough one Perhaps it shows how long I have been riding versus the amount of clothing I own HA!
At any rate here goes:

sleeveless jerseys: 8-9
short sleeve jerseys: 37
long sleeve jerseys: 15-17

Although I can honestly say that I wear my favorites most of the time,and others do not get worn. Does anyone else do this?

I'd be glad to share with you moderncyclism...most of my jerseys are mens and colors that are bright. Let me know if you'd like me to send you one.

[azfiddle]

So ridebikeme... just how many non-cycling tops do you own? (just to put it into perspective

Oh, my. Everyone on here is so nice. ridebikeme thank you (If you think they'd fit. I'm guessing a medium in men's) if you're serious, PM me.

I am almost overwhelmed with your kindness and generosity to other riders. I wish the whole world was like this message board. I did "pay it forward" so to speak today - I gave my stock saddle to a "critical mass" buddy as she loves skinny saddles. Now I know there is a thread for this on these boards which is a cool way to help the greater community.

I have no idea how many cycling jerseys I have. I don't count how many sweaters I have, either. There's no such thing as too many when it comes to clothes.

[ridebikeme]

Well, I dont' know how many non cycling tops I have, but I could defintely say that I own way more fall/winter tops than summer.( I quess because it's the area that I live in) I'm definitely NOT someone who spends tons of money on clothes... when I do buy something, I buy quality and obviously it lasts longer. With that said, I will admit to owning a fair amout of sporting type clothing... How does everyone else stand on this?

Just having abit fun with our cycling fetishes. Speaking of fetishes, I heard of one guy who owned and did use his collection of 15+ bike helmets.

True sometimes that too many of 1 apparel type is not terrible..as long as it's worn/used at some point in time.

This thread topic has taken some interesting detours and surprising turns.

Second that!
Never too many clothes, never too many shoes

After years of dealing with an avid cyclist for a husband who insisted that two pairs of shorts were too many and would seldom add to his cycling wear, I knew that I would need at least two of all the essentials from the start.

I have:
2 Short Sleeve
1 Heavy long Sleeve
1 Convertible Wind Jacket
2 Shorts
1 Knickers
2 Gloves
A few accessories

The collection started in October 2009 so I am doing pretty well.

As for my husband...I have personally built up his collection over the years to make laundry manageable and keep him more comfortable than he would on his own. He thanks me regularly.

As for 15+ helmets...who would want to go through the trouble of adjusting all those straps! I could think of a lot better things to collect.

I am heading up to the storage area with hubby now to see if we still have any "vintage" cycling hats. Can you call them vintage if you bought them new?

[zoom-zoom]

OK, so I already have an ancient short-sleeve jersey and a strappy cycling tank, plus a warm jacket. But you gals are enablers. I just ordered a sleeveless jersey and a long-sleeve one, too. I hope we have an early Spring and I can use the long-sleeved one really soon (wishful thinking here in MI).

So I guess I'm up to 5.
