I have a lot, many are packed away. Once I get them sorted out and have several I don’t wear but don’t want to get rid of I plan on making a quilt out of them. I’ve seen instructions for it on Instuctables.com and a craft blog. If you’re interested you can probably google for t-shirt quilt and find the instructions.
I’m way, way down from my “prime” T-shirt years, when I had a hundred or so. Somewhere I have a time-lapse video of me putting them on/taking them off one by one. These days, I have a couple dozen cotton tees. One or two long sleeves. (Mostly, I wear yuppified coolmax tops, which cannot rightly be called T-shirts.)
Wear regularly? Maybe ten of 'em. They come largely from concerts, roadside attractions, guitar/surfboard manufacturers, and computer companies.
Oh, and I have probably a dozen t-shirts from my blood clinic that I never wear. They’ll get a cooler than normal design, I’ll pick one up on my way out from donating, and…put it in the drawer.
-
I have maybe 30 t-shirts total scattered in various drawers, and some in need of being donated.
-
I’ve probably got about 15 t-shirts that I’ll actually wear. Two of them are long-sleeved.
-
I very rarely buy t-shirts. Of the ones that I wear, they are split almost evenly between ones I acquired from baseball games and ones that I acquired when I used to attend computer and/or telephony conventions on a regular basis. There are probably two or three in my collection that I actually purchased, and probably a couple of others that were bought for me as gifts.
I have an enormous collection of heavy metal t-shirts going back to 1988 or so and the newest of them is maybe 3 weeks old (this Iron Maiden shirt ), some of them so worn that they’re totally grey and no thicker than kleenex anymore. I also have a pretty good collection of bootleg Cubs themed shirts that I buy off of guys outside of Wrigley Field when I’m feeling saucy (read: after 10 Old Styles), but those are such cheap shirts that they tend to die pretty quickly.
No, I’ve never even been there. (my brother did spend a summer at an Olympic training camp there once tho’) I’m dying to go and check out Boathouse Row.
I have a bunch, and I just threw out 8 worn out ones. Of my St. Louis Cardinals shirts, three have the name and number of a player on the back. One is retired (McGwire) and the other two are now playing for other teams (Rolen and Taguchi.) We’re going to San Francisco on Wednesday to see the Cards play the Giants
One of the newest batch says, “Feminist chicks dig me.”
My newest t-shirt.
Got it in today. Can’t wait to wear it.
I’m going to regret having looked at that due to a couple of the classics mentioned therein which I haven’t seen yet, but I’m still very amused.
- How many? Short sleeve? Long sleeve?
Quite a few Star Trek and 2000AD t-shirts, probably 25 odd in total. About 8 or so long sleeves.
- How many do you wear on a regular basis?
I rotate through them all pretty much.
- Where do they come from?
Ebay for the most part.
- Favorite t-shirt.
Torquemada t-shirt.
- Oldest t-shirt.
United Federation of Planets T-shirt, well over a decade old.
- How many? Short sleeve? Long sleeve?
I probably have about 15 altogether. I have three long sleeve ones that are pretty much exclusively worn under other shirts while the rest are short sleeve.
- How many do you wear on a regular basis?
I’d say four or five.
- Where do they come from? Sports events you were in? Favorite sports teams? College shirts? Other events you’ve attended like concerts or charity fundraisers? Souvenirs from trips? Shirts you just thought were cool?
A mixture between band/concert shirts and solid color t-shirts. I don’t know why, but I really got into solid color t-shirts a couple of years back.
- Favorite t-shirt.
Probably one of my solid color ones. They’re really comfortable and I like how they fit.
- Oldest t-shirt.
My oldest one is my Depeche Mode Devotional tour shirt that I got at the show. October 29th, 1993. I still wear it from time to time, but not often.
-
How many? Short sleeve? Long sleeve?
I think I have a dozen of them, and only one has long sleeves. -
How many do you wear on a regular basis?
All but one. -
Where do they come from?
A few are from thrift stores, some are relics of my mother’s religious charity work, and a few I bought at Target. -
Favorite t-shirt.
I don’t have a favorite now, but my all-time favorite T-shirt was from Alice Cooper’s 1973 tour. I loved it to death. The one T-shirt I could love today given the opportunity would be a vintage Ramones T-shirt. -
Oldest t-shirt.
Probaby the Totino-Grace shirt I got at a thrift store.
Heh, a dozen sounds pretty lame compared to some of you, but you have to take into account that I never go anywhere, so I just toss on whatever shirt has risen to the top of the pile each day. I don’t usually even know which one I’m wearing. When I run out, I do laundry.
Oops, sorry. I kind of figured that everything on the t-shirt was spoiled already.
I knew most of the references already, and then I ran across one that I hadn’t seen before and decided to stop reading. Hopefully, by the time I get around to seeing the movie, I will have forgotten that piece of information (or maybe it’ll be like the Citizen Kane “spoiler” where it doesn’t really matter if you know it already). We shall see!
I’ve got too many to count. My favorites ones are those that I’ve gotten in trade from various military organizations. I’ve got several “Blue and Golds” from SEAL teams, UDT, and salvage units. One more than one project, I’ve been introduced as the guy that will do anything for a tee-shirt, up to and including diving in a nuclear reactor. Actually, I have two shirts from that deal.
I have hardly any t-shirts. At work it’s too cold to wear short sleeves, especially during the summer (Everyone else has a window to keep the place warm. Me? No windows. I freeze.) And when it is warm, I prefer to wear Hawaiian shirts.
So, about 5 Camp Cherith shirts that I can’t get rid of, unless I stop going to camp.
1 Monty Python shirt (It’s just a flesh wound!)
1 snarky shirt (Doesn’t play well with others)
1 Thundercats shirt where the design is severely peeling but I refuse to get rid of it (I don’t really wear it either)
1 tiger shirt
1 college shirt that was a freebie. I’ve never worn it. I’ll probably make it into rags at some point.
1 silver baby-T that I also use as an undershirt when I need one
2, um, halter tops? I think? Tank tops that stop under my boobs. Also used as undershirts.
I think that’s it (I’m at home and can’t check)
i have quite a few. when they are retirment age, i cut them up and sooner or later they will become some sort of quilted item.
I have a “bunch”. Loosely translated that means somewhere between 5 and 15. A few are from The Sports Page (old bar in Arlington Heights - I knew an ex-bartender - they were hers), one is from a Simon and Garfunkel tour years ago, one is from a Moody Blues tour years ago (bartender’s boyfriend worked as an electrician doing rigging at one of the venues in the city - he gave them to her and she gave them to me), and the rest are assorted with nothing special on them.
Except for my favorite. It has a big picture of Elvis on it. Underneath the picture it says, “I’m Dead.”
An easy question to answer - how many T-shirts ya got? Since about ~11, I’ve worn button-ups almost exclusively (they have breast pockets), so Ts are for the rare occasion when I feel like “dressing up.” I have:
A tie-dye. Purchased at an actual Grateful Dead show.
Two with a picture of Che Guevara. These were given to me in mockery of my commie-pinkoism.
One black one, with a Harley-Davidson logo that, if you look close, is actually from a blood drive sponsored by a radio station. (They got permission to use the design from the folks in Milwaukee.)
One for Blondie’s Pizza, with their motto, “Make Pizza, Not War”.
“Brothels of Nevada,” complete with a roadmap of the aformentioned State.
One with a stick-figure waving large mugs of beer, under the slogan “FARFROMPÜKEN”.
All short sleeve.
You guys have hundreds of T-shirts?!
I have an entire drawer full of short sleeve t-shirts. I’m at work so I can’t count them but I would guess close to thirty. And about half a dozen long-sleeve t’s that I keep on a shelf in the closet with my sweatshirts. I’ve gotten to the point where when I get a new t-shirt, I have to find an old one to throw out because there is no more room in my t-shirt drawer. At least a dozen are t-shirts that I got when giving blood. (We have blood drives pretty regularly at work and usually one of the perks is a t-shirt.)
I’d guess I wear about two-thirds of them regularly. Some of the ones at the bottom of the drawer don’t make it to the top very often and I usually don’t go digging unless there is a specific one I’m looking for. I guess I need to rotate them more!
My favorite one is from Moose’s Pub in Park City UT. My wife got it for me when she went there on a business trip. The moose on the back is getting a little faded. Maybe I need to head to Park City and get me a new one. My second favorite is from Yellowstone National Park and it also has a moose on it.
Off the top of my head, I think my oldest one is a Hard Rock Cafe Toronto t-shirt. It’s another “wife’s-business-trip-souvenir” shirt, and I think I’ve had it for close to 15 years.
