    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.

    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?!!!

    Still working on the collection. Just started in August so I have a long way to go. I currently own:

    1 sleevless jersey
    2 short sleeve jerseys

    Yes that is it and before this weekend it would have been 1 short sleeve jersey. I just received our new team jersey. I can I see by reading your posts that I have a long way to go catch up to you nice ladies.
