Anyone else trying to thin the herd regarding clothes?

[Irving]

Funny timing. I was going through my closet and the coat closet filing bags with stuff I haven't worn in at least a year. Now that I don't work in an office, I Hanne a bunch of office casual stuff that just sits. I LIKE to wear nice clothes, but I so very rarely do these days that when I go to try something on, I relent why I never wear it. I've already purged the closet a few times, but I think I'll do a serious pair down later this week. I find that I have more clothes sitting to the side that I use for working under the car or remodeling my house than I do regular clothes, but even those I could get away with one or two pants and shirts instead of five.

There is a bigger issue with this discussion as far as freeing yourself from the burden of possessions, but that's for another topic.

I heard you get double the life out of them.
Also, much easier to do laundry.

I have a bunch of socks with no matches if that helps Jim.

I am unwilling to make that kind of commitment at this point in time.

Slightly OT

Throw some stuff in the laundry while back east. My sister is taking care of it for me when I hear. SON OF A BITCH you've got to be kidding me.
What's wrong I ask.
I can't find your other sock.....
Ummm you forget I only have 1 leg. that got everyone laughing.

We should all start sending Kazoo our orphan socks whenever we lose one... He'll never have to buy socks again!

I don't have any of the triple aught ones, but i love my Ibex merino base layers. Light, warm, and don't stink like capilene. I can't imagine wearing any sort of poly-pro ever again

Clothes that aren't for work are easy to maintain a small, but useful set.

Clothes for work are expensive (FR, so companies like Carhartt hook us for $90/pr of pants, and $80-120/shirt) and I have a LOT of them. Due to this, I keep a small collection in the closet, but 90% of them hang in the garage.

Wranglers and t-shirts. I buy two pair of jeans per year for dress up occasions and the t-shirts are usually free from brand manufacturers and vendors. I do buy briefs and socks every year. Tennis shoes every two years and work boots every four years as needed. Dress shirts I rarely wear and some of them I have had for twenty years are still in style (?). Since I have been going to the gym and have lost weight (322 down to 275) my Dockers and suits (ugh) now fit again.

The issue is my wife. She complains that there is not enough room in the closet (safe lives there) for what she has, says I need to get ride of some of my old clothes to make room for hers. In all fairness I do take up half of the available closet space but she has three dressers to my one. I have a wallet and she has three purses that vary on where we go.

What I need is a better paying job so I can get a bigger home and give her a room for a closet. Then I can get another safe for the bedroom closet and not have to hear about it.

I have found that the fewer clothes I have the fewer solicitors knock on my door

I did this last year, and liked it. I never had to wonder what to wear, but I did wear things out quicker. It's nice and I intend to try to maintain this habit. I did try to buy a few items that were more expensive than what I usually wear. For me, I have tiny feet, so I actually bought nice shoes that are my own size. I wore only one pair of shoes for three years except for a few special occasions. I really like having clothes that are a little nicer and actually fit me. Uh..I guess I started with the shoes before last year.
