Poll. How many t-shirts does your DH/DP own?

51 replies

Hamandcheesebaguette · 26/08/2018 12:36

Just moved house and have decided to share a wardrobe instead of having one each to make more space in the bedroom.

DP complaining he doesn't have enough room
So I have just counted. FOURTY TWO T-SHIRT not to mention his monthly t-shirt subscription box so that's one more t-shirt every month. Plus 17 pairs of shorts.

There's just no need.

AIBU to ask how many t-shirts your SO has?!

About 20 Shock

As a PP said , mostly the same primark one in different colours. He tends to buy really ugly ones we both know he’ll never wear but thinks he’s cool some that he just leaves folded in a pile , so we might be heading towards the 30 mark now

also buys new ones when I don’t do his washing and he runs out

I have no idea...and even less desire to find out! We have separate walk-in wardrobes/dressing rooms so it's up to him (he also does all the ironing so it's a non-issue for me).

wolfmom · 26/08/2018 13:21

Don't think he has as many as me. I live in jeans and t-shirts

MrBeansXmasTurkey · 26/08/2018 13:22

My dh is the opposite he has about 5 shirts. I had to nag him to buy some more otherwise if for some reason we get behind with the laundry he can run out of clean ones.

ElinorOliphantIsCompletelyFine · 26/08/2018 13:24

Not many as he has a uniform for work, and I accidentally dyed several pink a few months ago 😂 so probably like 4.

On the other hand, he has a gazillion band t shirts

WhirlyGigWhirlyGig · 26/08/2018 13:35

Mine had over 50 so I put my foot down. We share a built in wardrobe and the split was looking near 70/30 in his favour. So some of them got retired to recycling bin.

MissusGeneHunt · 26/08/2018 18:37

Jeeeezzzz.... I thought dp's 'too many' was too many... Grin😂😂
However, he does own over 50 work shirts... Most of the bastard things are blue. My wardrobe is no longer my wardrobe, and I've given up putting his clothes away, as I end up creasing them more than pre iron. His filing system is the floor on his side of the bed....

Trialsmum · 26/08/2018 18:46

Loads! And they’re all expensive brands 🙄.
He wears suits for work so it’s not like he needs loads. Shirts are another thing altogether he has one style in white x3, blue x2, navy x1 and army colour green x1. Then plenty more in other styles.

Tisfortired · 26/08/2018 18:47

About seventy five billion.

(And two pairs of jeans Confused)

SnartyFartBlast · 26/08/2018 18:48

About a billion
And he asked for more

JaretsGirlfren · 26/08/2018 18:51

Over 200 Shock I have about 15

daughterofanarchy · 26/08/2018 18:54

My.husband easliy has 40 or so. Most of them are slogan t-shirts and a few smart/casual ones thrown in

CherryPavlova · 26/08/2018 18:55

I love the odd quirky questions on MN.
My husband has about 30 double cuff shirts at home. Another 15 or so in his London office and half a dozen in his regional offices. So about 60-70 in total.
T shirts he uses for sleep about 6. Tshirts for running about 6. Casual shirts about 12. Casual tops/tshirts about 12..

DarthLipgloss · 26/08/2018 18:55

Mine has about 30, but wears the same 4 vests on rotation every day...

Gnomesoftheglaaxy · 26/08/2018 18:59

6 that I can think off, neither of us have many clothes, we're extremely short of space Sad

Kr3000 · 26/08/2018 19:00

Enough to make it impossible to fit them all in the ikea hanging things for wardrobes. And too many shirts. And coats. It's ridiculous. I sneakily put some in the charity bags.

huggybear · 26/08/2018 19:02

Wtf 😂 my husband has about 10! Why on earth does he need so many?!!

Aozora13 · 26/08/2018 19:05

Urgh don’t get me started on the black t-shirt library!! I gently suggested to DH when we were moving that he might not need to keep all 70 billion t-shirts. He managed to part with one that was practically a string vest it had so many holes, but the rest have too much sentimental value apparently

Namechange8471 · 26/08/2018 19:10

Too many, darn you lootcrate!

He gets one sometimes two every month with that bloody subscription!

YupThatsMe · 26/08/2018 19:10

About 12!

Imamouseduh · 26/08/2018 19:50

Approximately one hundred thousand. At a rough guess.

MirandaWest · 26/08/2018 19:51

DH has a lot of T shirts. At least 50 I am sure and could well be more

FASH84 · 26/08/2018 19:54

Five million, yet moaned at me for pinching one to wear the other day, I've been avoiding maternity clothes other than for work if possible (don't want to waste money) but my t-shirts are too short now. I just raised an eyebrow and opened one of his many drawers full of the bloody things

MirandaWest · 26/08/2018 19:55

I think he’d like a t shirt subscription

silkpyjamasallday · 26/08/2018 19:55

Fucking millions, and he still nicks mine! He also has 20 pairs of shorts. He wears the same 5 tshirts and 2 pairs of shorts on repeat, the others are so unnecessary.
