'Fess up:no. of jerseys

[moderncyclista]

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.

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.

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?

To Update those who sent me jerseys: Thank You all. You are all the best! So much more than I could have ever hoped for. I have thanked you in PM's but I wanted to make it known that not only does everything fit like a dream, *(you ladies are so great) but I am humbled by your kindness. I think of you all smiling riding with me (I know there are a lot of us on the boards) - I am so proud and lucky to be part of such a wonderful embracing community on the TE. Again, thank you.

short 2
long 1
sleeveless 1
socks, a bazillion!

I'm just building my cycling-specific collection, but I can't pass a bike shop without stopping to buy socks! butterfiles, frogs, hearts....you name it, my toes sport them!!!!

I just knew this thread would pop up again soon, so I went and counted mine.

Short sleeves 10
Sleeveless 4
Long sleeve 3
Jackets 1, and about to be two when I buy the new REI Stratos Rain Jacket

Lots of socks (which I rarely wear, since I go barefooted with sandals...wear smart wools in cooler weather)

...and YES, definitely, I have my favorites which fit me very well so I wear them more than any others!! When I wash them, I fold and place them at the bottom of the pile, then the next time I ride, I take one off the top of the pile...hahaha, this works, right?....NOT!!! At night, my favorites climb to the top of the pile, and then when I go in the closet in the dark and take the top one, doggone if one of my favorites isn't right there on the top!! Does that happen to any of you all, too?!!!
