I haven't counted them, I have good T-shirts, then they get demoted to under sweat-shirt T-shirts, again demoted to garden-rags and then plain rags.
T- and sweat-shirts are my usual attire, can you guess? I do have about 5 regular shirt/blouses, though and a couple of nifty jacket-tops, for dress-up.

Wow, I thought i was the only one who had "good" T-shirts! ;~)

No idea how many here, either...I have about a dozen that i love and wear sparingly, about a dozen that are good enough to wear in public, another dozen to wear at home, most of my ten or so work shirts are plain cotton T-shirts, though i had to pay to have our hospital logo put on them...a bunch of other raggedy ones for the garden or painting.

And no idea how many are packed up in those damned "skinny clothes" boxes....

THe "What Not to Wear" pair would fill a whole can with tees from my wardrobe...nuff said??

LOL me too Lynnie. I can only imagine their reaction to some of my gardening outfits. I have a skinny-era drawer full of tees also.
And the saddest thing is up to 75% have frogs on them.......im a tad obsessive when it comes to froggie things....around 20 tees with frogs....sigh.

Pam, you've always been a lady after my own heart, and to find another frog freak, that just confirms it.

How many tees do I have? Well, I used to order them in by the dozen with my business logo on, but the last time I ordered, I got them all too large, so my DH has a wonderful supply and I'd have to be desperate to wear one of them. Tees make great work shirts for me, but I have been switching over to thin cotton blouses instead for a few years, as they're cooler in ultra hot environments and breathe better when I turn into a sow in the greenhouses. I had a collection of really gross Tees and got rid of them months ago into the rag bag. I have four or five polos for casual wear, and really have fallen out of love with Tees with pictures or slogans on them.

So, my total count now, is three whole Tees. Two brand new ones and one old fav I just can't seem to part with. Also got rid of all my skinny muscle tanks. I kept one to use with my flannel jammie bottoms. I had a lot of angst over pitching the old decrepit ones, and didn't replace them, because I'd only consider wearing one now under my work bibs. They simply don't cover enough of my puppies, as Stacy and Clinton would say, when the pair of them go to war to escape. rofl.

I think it's 4 or 5 regular ones, much too big now so they will become rags the next time I clean out the drawers. 4 dressy ones also too big and will be outed, and 3 that are right-sized. Dressy ones have lace and actually are nice enough to wear to the office, good during the summer. That leaves 2 tanks for gardening when it's 90 out, and 2 with pretty pictures for gardening when it's cooler. I hope not to be in the office by this summer, so will wearing lacy tops to garden make me one of those sweet old ladies daintily snipping flowers in the garden? You know, the ones with big straw hats and clean gloves, and a tall iced tea on the patio table. Sigh, that is so not me.

I have been thinking about this. I spend so much of my time dressed up, I don't really need t-shirts, except on the weekend. And most of them are too large now (33 pounds gone), so why am I keeping them? I guess two for the weekend would work, or four for variety. I will get rid of the rest. I am supposed to use them as rags? How well does that work? They don't ever seem all that absorbant to me. Are you just settling so as to recycle? Do you cut them up?

I am not sure I could part with my Race for the Cure shirts or my Employee Celebration/Arrhythmia shirts from Vanderbilt though; I've earned those. That doesn't sound right, does it? Should I put them on display or something? That doesn't sound right either. Hm.

Too many. I just went through them this fall & gave a bunch away to Goodwill. Mostly I wear them for gardening or to sleep in. For me a "good T-shirt" is one that isn't permanently stained from working outside in the dirt.

'I am supposed to use them as rags? How well does that work? They don't ever seem all that absorbant to me.'

You know Rob, they aren't. But there are other uses for rags than cleaning. My rag bin donations are sometimes used as baby blankets in my chick brooder. Cloths on which to paint small items. Snipped apart in strips to tie up tomatoes, jersey is great, as it tends to stretch a little and won't choke off a growing stem so fast if it's a little too snug, like string will. Braided for use in rag rugs. Jersey makes a respectable dusting cloth too.

The tees that are 100% cotton, and well-worn are nicely absorbant and do well for cleaning, dusting and window washing. Unfortunately most common are the polycottons, and they don't absorb worth a darn -- as anyone who has worn such on a hot day can attest.

Rob ~ carefully *cut the front off, into a square or circle or hexagon or whatever shape; cut the back to match. **Turn right sides together and stitch, leaving a 4" opening. Actually, I leave a 9" opening and attach velcro for a closure, but that's probably more work than needed. Turn rightside out and stuff with a foam shape, batting or old nylon stockings; blindstitch the opening closed. If you have an old throw pillow, this is one way to recycle it, just make the opening big enough so the old pillow can fit into the new covering.

* To prevent crazy-stretching the material, use iron-on fabric facing on the backside, then cut.

** A step up and looking more professional is to attach welting along the seam line before stitching together. Place the fat side towards the picture and pin; stitch on the welting's seam line, then stitch the back piece on, again being sure to stitch in the same seam line.

I've seen attractive pictures used as wall hangings. One was of a flower and the owner had put quilt batting between front and back, and then stitched the flowers' outlines making a quilted finish. Edged with tape, and hung from a rod.

OK, it looks as though I have WAY (I need to repeat that) WAY too many T-shirts. I am scared to count them now.

I wear one everyday under my clothing. They are just plain white ones.

If I go on a trip somewhere, I usually buy a T-shirt. I sleep in T-shirts from the vacations because it is nice to feel a good memory while going to sleep.

I have my outdoor/gardening/painting T-shirts

Like Robyn, I have my "I earned that/ gave to that charity T-shirts and I feel guilty throwing them out.

I have T-shirts that people have brought back for me from their travels and I think of them when I wear it.

I'm starting to think I have a T-shirt for every occasion, except for Funerals, Weddings and the Theater ;-)

Now I HAVE to go count them

with too much time on her hands this AM

I don't know how many I have, but like most of you--except Suzi--it's w-a-a-a-y too many. I didn't even bother exchanging the white/lighter colored ones for darker colored ones, this Fall. Since I wear them under sweat shirts, I figure the color doesn't matter. Too many of them I've had for way too long, too--I'm talking about years! I think I've written this, before: but why is it so hard to get rid of things? And in regard to Tee shirts, most of them don't wear out! Like the Energizer Bunny, they just keep pluggin' along.

I KNOW that I'd be a prime candidate for Stacy and Clinton's show. :>(
