T-shirts

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

T-shirts

Post by Metal Vendetta » Thu Oct 12, 2006 4:00 pm

I'm having a bit of a clear-up and while sorting through my clothes it's transpired that I own 59 T-shirts, including the one I'm wearing, and all but about 10 of them are in regular rotation. Does that seem a lot?

How many T-shirts (long and short sleeved) do you own?
I would have waited a ******* eternity for this!!!!

I'm not really a t-shirt guy. Probably 10 t-shirts that I just wear around the house.

Around 35, plus a load that I use when I'm decorating or building stuff that I can't be arsed to count.

I only wear a small percentage though, much like yourself Mr V.

i tend to have about 5 older t-shirts for the gym (as well as some proper gym stuff), 5 or 6 t-shirts in heacy rotation and then anything else goes to charity once it has done th gym cycle.

oh, and lots of old band t-shirts that i don't wear but keep in a souvenier fashion.

i have been trying to rationalise on this front and sent a load to charity (ok, its in a bag in my corner of the room, it will get there eventually) recently.

My current fave is a green levi's number.

That said i have a lot of pimp shirts.

i like this topic.

and being a vain man.

What about Jeans? - I have 5 pairs of Jeans, 3 pairs are average, 2 are diesel.

recently ive taken to wearing the diesel jeans for at least 3 days at a time - I just love them so much....

Sorry, I probably wasn't clear - there's only about 10 T-shirts that are near-permanent drawer-warmers, all the others come out and get worn, if not by me then by the Mrs...and I found T-shirt #60 behind a chair last night.

I'm conscious that I should probably get rid of a few of them to charity, but the ones I don't wear are old band shirts (PWEI & Ned's mostly) that I'm keeping for sentimental reasons, and the rest do get worn.

As for jeans, 5 pairs black, 3 pairs blue, 4 pairs khaki... and a quick count reveals 7 hoodies (one Ned's, two PWEI, one Therapy?, one Megatron, two plain) that again, either me or the Mrs. wear a fair bit. Sometimes it feels like I'm drowning in clothes.
I would have waited a ******* eternity for this!!!!

I have about 5 T-shirts, 3 pairs of pants, and 2 jackets in rotation.

Why spend it on clothes when you can spend it on comics?

Just counted: 15 short sleeve t-shirts and 10 longsleeves. And some more that I don't really wear anymore. And only 4 pairs of jeans, but I have some skirts and dresses too which I prefer to trousers at the moment. Used to love diesel though. Had a great pair of jeans which I wore almost every day until it broke, then bought a new one that was exactly the same.

And just received a new t-shirt, won at eBay, today. Yay! :)

I usually dress formal so I have like 10 T shirts which I use eventually.

The same goes for blue jeans.

i got 2 suits on saturday.

i got £100 off cos i work for a big scum**** organisation and then andother £14 (woo-hoo) off cos it was, liek satuday or something. and two free ties when i next go back.

the suits are sharptatsic.

as an aside for any americans reading at the present exchnage rate £100 is roughly, hmm, $4, 321,067.

now all i need to do is go to NYC and buy a ridiculous amount of snazzy work shirts in November.

Fight the power baby.

Gah, saw the Mrs this weekend and she has, like, five of my T-shirts at her place. And my Autobot hoodie.

Six suits in various stages of goodness. About 30 shirts for work (but I don't have to wear a suit so they don't get worn any more).

This is getting ridiculous. The rail in my wardrobe creaks dangerously every time I go near it now.

i keep a lot of my stuff in the thinly veiled Christain allagory at the back of my wardrobe.

there's loads of space but on the downside some lion called Alan or something has ****ed off with one of my chemical brothers t-shirts.
