'Fess up:no. of jerseys

[GLC1968]

I refuse to answer this question.

Although, now that I've shrunk out of almost everything, I have to build my collection back up again!

Damn it. And here I was convinced that there was at least ONE person on this forum who could beat me!

I have 10 short sleeved jerseys. I like solid colors or simple prints. No words. I got all of them on some sort of sale price. On our last three bike tours I have picked up a jersey along the way. A couple were half price at bike shops along the way. I got a red PI jersey at a thrift shop in Ridgway, CO for $1.25.

I do not need any more short sleeve jerseys. (Unless I find one at Goodwill for $2. haha)

I have 1 long sleeve jersey. I also use other long sleeve base layers for winter riding.

I have 3 Novara cycling jackets: one lightweight, two heavy waterproof.

Never fear, Pedal Wench is here... at least 30 short-sleeved, could be more, but I'm scared to count. Granted, I get two a year of my club's jersey and we do a ride every year that gives away a jersey - usually too ugly to wear, but I still own them.

Good point. I should mention that 7 of the short sleeved jerseys I counted are from 4 years of riding the MS150 in NC. 4 were free giveaways for fundraising, and 3 were free 'team' jerseys from my company with whom I rode. Only 1 of these 7 will ever grace my back again (the one I helped design!). Most are just NMS at all.

most of them are pleading the 5th!

Well, I guess I was the only one who didn't plead the 5th for my addiction. I think Susan should be excused,due to the fact she has to have them all to test for us. You know, "for business reasons."

So many that I would have to go upstairs to count them. Long sleeved. Short sleeved. Base layers. Not to mention a bunch of shorts, knickers, and tights of varying degrees of warmth or windproofing. I have 2 jackets though, one with zip off sleeves - my absolute favorite.

The pathetic part of owning all these all-weather clothes is that none of this has seen any use in 2 months! As soon as I get cleared by my PT to ride, AND I get rid of this cold, AND we get a sunny weekend without wind, and 34o minimum I'll be back in the saddle.

I own a couple moisture wicking active tops by adidas, nike, etc. But I don't own a jersey. I bike mostly in capris or rolled up pants/jeans & chrome shoes to work and a t-shirt with my messenger bag slung across my back. If it is really hot - I wear a moisture wick top and carry and extra shirt in my bag. Maybe a jersey someday.

what size are you. maybe someone here can help.

I'm guessing I'm a size Large or XL in women's jerseys I wear a size 10 waist(maybe 34-36 above the hip - actual inches) womens. I have 32-34 bust. I am short 5'3''. I know all that stuff is cut different than regular tops. I am curvy, which can be a pain.

No one has to feel obligated to do anything. But thank you for mentioning it Biciclista.

Let us know when you cave in. I know where you're comin' from, since it took me 10 years of regular cycling before I decided to get my first cycling jersey. However I bought my first cycling jacket within 3 months of returning back to cycling.

In response to Knotted's comments, I need back pockets for keys especially when I am not wearing a cycling jacket in warmer weather. I need to use my key/security fob to activate the underground parking garage door where our condo's bike parking is. To do this, I stop and balance myself on top of bike, on a downward slope driveway to dig around in my back pocket and fish out fob.

So I truly look for jerseys with back pockets and for colder weather, jackets absolutely must have at least front (or back) pocket(s).
