Several members have commented on the number of HD shirts that we tend to buy.  So last night I decided to do an inventory of MY (none of Anne's)current supply of HD and related (CVO Gathering etc.) t-shirts.  This does not include any that have been moved to Yard/Garage work shirts.  I wish it were otherwise but my weight tends to fluxuate so I have L, XL and XXL that make up the supply of 328 t-shirts.

Here are the results:

Large (36):
2    Tank Tops
34   Short Sleeve

X-Large (221):
17   Tank Tops
45   Sleeveless
125 Short Sleeve
34   Long Sleeve

XX-Large (71):
8    Sleeveless
47  Short Sleeve
16  Long Sleeve

Below is a pic of MY HD Shirt Closet Repository currently holding all L and XXL shirts and 161 of the XL shirts...the rest are in my active supply in the Dresser.

Ebay !!!!!
Craigslist!!!!

Just a couple options other than the 12 step program.
Another option would be to use the new trailer...  lol... and set up shop as a vendor at the next gtg.

Do I get a shirt with each step completed?

But once we got one of these folders, the shirts were all folded to the same footprint making them easy to stack and count!

not if you ever want to complete the program and become a recvoering harley-t-aholic

This could be the 1st step towards recovery..

Step 1) admitting the problem

I am using this thread to get my self out of HOT water on my t Shirt habit....i am an amateur compared to you

Oh, Uncle Sam (USMC) taught me how to fold them w/the same footprint. All it took was going through one inspection and have everything in my locker thrown on the floor to teach me how it's done correctly.

All I can say it's a good thing they don't inspect my closet like they did a junk on the bunk or wall locker inspection at OCS - I am quite the stuffer of T-shirts...

I think your closet organizer needs a center brace-like real quick.

 Bill that is funny!!!!
I don't think Terry would ever dream of counting his t-shirts, that way I could never use it against him. BUT I am the one who packs them up(even with his walk-in closet the size of a small bedroom) and rotates them every few years. Picture Terry thinking.....Geez I haven't seen that one in awhile, HMMMM I wonder where it has been?  

[WFP]

 

When I was going through them re-folding I was thinking that same thing...some form 1997 - 1999 reall stood out since that is the last time we went to Daytona...and I had lots of FL shirts!

12 step program for those with OTD?

[hard10]

This thread must have been what prompted Linda to go through all of mine. All 76 are now organized, refolded, and stacked in order of size.

[HogBreath]

My HD shirts are either in the closet or a drawer. They're mixed in with all my other shirts. Some of the shirts are too small. Some in there are so ragged I'll never wear them again. But I keep them so it'll be harder to find the shirts I DO want to wear. I've got no idea how many I have. If I ever do count them, I'll post the results here though. Ya'll are anal retentive some sick puppies.

[WFP]

That's why I keep Anne off this site!

You're a wise man! Linda will be sitting in the other room on the computer and I'll see she post on my laptop before she even talks to me.

Just found 2 more XL short sleeve drying in the laundry room!

[Fired00d]

Bill,
Just counted up all the shirts and you're pretty close to one a day for a year, and I was just wondering how do you rotate wearing them. I don't have half as many as you do, but found I was storing more then wearing them until I instituted some plan on getting them all worn.

At aprx 140, give or take the current load of wash which includes long sleeve T's, 3 button golf style, full button cotton, rayon and silk I am a pedestrian on the superslab of true shirt collectors like Bill
             

[WFP]

Some become favs and have been worn out and relegated to sleep/work shirts like the one I have on right now.

I put new never worn on top in the dresser and make an effort to use them first...I have about 5 of those...Then there are the new worn once on a trip and I have about 15 of those.  After I wear these once, I move them to the bottom of the closet pile and move some from the top of the closet pile and put them at the bottom of the dresser pile.

It is a system that works for me...I usually don't try to pick the shirt to match something else but once in a while, a gold shirt gets worn on the SED

I have Mexico, Canada, England, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Austrailia  and Japan 

You must have ten times that

[WFP]

I must bow before you...Nope...never been to many of those...I like to pick up my own shirts but have a few gifts...including Japan and Austrailia...but I put a stop to that and our parent's no longer get them for us.

The t-shirts are our souvenir of our visit to a place...

I gave up trying toe get every dealer in some states but I do have all of NY and all NE dealers from Caribou to Cape Cod to Stamfor to Burlington.

One more and I will have all of VA...that is on tap for Sept.

What I ended up doing was have three drawers full of shirts and just emptying out one drawer before I add more clean ones. I then go to another drawer and repeat the process until I've worn them all then start over again. I've had to stack some in the closet until a drawer gets empty and I can fill it back up.

I do on occasion color match my outfits (orange of course ), but don't do it that often out of rotation.

What is this drawer and folder stuff ?
Every shirt I own hangs from a large diameter plastic hanger in my closet.
The H-D shirts alone take up 8 feet of closet space.

My wife has one of them to , it's also meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Mine are all the same size....XL.  I just don't fluctuate that much.  But my ex wife used to have them all hung in my closet (so they're not wrinkeled when I get ready to put one on) sorted by colors.  That was actually kind of cool, but Terrie's not going there.

Thanks for posting that picture Bill..........it's proof positive to Terrie that I don't have "to many" HD shirts (even though some are several years old and still have the tags on them).

Hmmm, good thing Terrie doesn't log onto the site otherwise we'd be reading about H-D t-shirts used as a deadly weapon.

It wouldn't matter if she saw this......her reply would still be the same.... "if you want them hung up and sorted by color no problem, get up and do it". 

She and my ex wife have met and they got along fine....they're both mature and confident.  So no jealousy or insecurity.

Wasn't thinking of jealousy/insecurity more so thinking you comparing/expecting/wanting her to do something the ex did was dangerous. Never been married before but if I were to say to wifey that so and so did this/that for me and you don't I'd be in a world of chit.

I have 3 and only have worn 2 of them.
I know the rules  1 was a gift but I was never there so I can't wear it.
Another 1 was a gift but I was there so I do wear it, just not when I am out riding. (that may change soon)
Then there is the 1 that I actually bought.
I don't even know how many shops I have been too before I finally bought 1.

I still think you should wallpaper a game room with them or something so they all are on display.

Whenever I go on a tour I'll take the most worn and leave in the motel rooms or use as my daily bike rag while on the trip. Trouble is I tend to buy 3 times the amount I throw out. Must have hundreds of the things.

Most with us I assume!

Would need to come up with some type of backing board like the shops use to pu up on the wall.  Not a bad Idea for a wall in the garage...wear twice, then apply to wall...hmmmm
