    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.

    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!

    Guess Biciclista you did wear a leopard print jacket for a photo here once upon a time?

    All jerseys and jackets that I have, have been an accumulation over past 8 yrs. I make my clothing last.

    Er...wasn't asking about cycling jackets, but here it goes:
    1 heavy waterproof Gortex for winter cycling
    3 jackets --different ages, 1 of them the zipper is ready to fall apart. Another jacket has some blobs of acrylic black paint. Got messed up with my art supplies from class a few years ago. But I still wear it. After all, who really notices when zipping along on the bike. 2 of 3 jackets can be converted to hi-vi vests by unzipping sleeves.
    1 light water-repellant jacket

    My only justification for all this cycling stuff, it becomes handy especially when one is unemployed and cannot spend more money unnecessarily. I'm really grateful now for my previous years of cycling apparel purchasing insanity.

    We also live a car-free life. So same money for gas..for apparel instead. Yes, yes, yes, another justification.

    I do loan my apparel for visiting guests if they aren't totally prepared with right jacket, etc. for a bike ride.

    I am only counting true cycling jerseys, not the multipurpose workout stuff I sometimes wear. This has been accumulated over about 6 years, all except gifts purchased when the items were at a good sale price.

    4 sleeveless jerseys
    5 short sleeve jerseys
    1 long sleeve full zip jersey/jacket
    One water resistant windbreaker that is beginning to peel apart.

    My winter stuff is mostly non-cycling specific.

    One.

    and I've worn it once.

    I wear wool shirts or running shirts for the most part. Since I always have a pannier or bar-bag, I don't need the pockets. I dunno, they just don't come into my life, and I don't invite them. I don't mind them on other people, I just don't seem to desire them for myself.

    Shh.. I have one jacket (well, a windbreaker) and I think I'd actually like another one. My jacket rocks though.. it's convertible so I can take the sleeves off if I want

    But as far as jerseys go..
    4 short sleeve (one of which is too short on me and I don't wear)
    1 long sleeve

    I need more I will be making more soon.... going to make 2 wool jerseys and probably some fun short sleeve and sleeveless ones as we get more into spring..

    I must have at least 8 short sleeved jerseys. I've thrown out all of the old ones that have grease on them, or shrunk, or got too big. Geez, I have 3 Eurohalters and 3 regular sleeveless jerseys. Then I have 2 long sleeved jerseys, 2 long sleeved jerseys with a light lining, 2 wool jerseys (they have pockets), and 3 fleece ones (which I wear x country skiing and snow shoeing, too).
    I have one wind jacket, one vest, and 2 rain jackets. Oh, and the very nice wind stopping jacket/jersey that I bought from Bluetree. It's pretty heavy. Two helmets, 5 pairs of gloves, one lighter full fingered gloves, and one pair of AmFibs.
    I guess you could say I like buy cycling clothes. I used spend most of my $ at Ann Taylor. Now I spend it at Terry or TE. Sometimes, my DH buys me stuff and surprises me, too.
    That's not counting the shorts, skorts, tights, board shorts with liners, knickers, both casual and fitted.
    Oy, I am an addict.

    1 light jacket with zip-off sleeves (haven't actually done that though)
