I have 3 new Spier and McKay Merino turtlenecks on the way.
These are my wolllen winter sweaters. The Fall/Spring cottons are in storag

Am I developing a problem? I mean besides running out of space.

Nope. No problem. Seems you’re on the right track.

There appears to be a gap between the top of the sweaters and the ceiling of the closet.

 

[Mr. B. Scott Robinson]

Yes, mind the gap!

Cheers,

No worries mate. Happiness is an overfilled closet! Prior to our Southern migration I laid all my sweaters out on the bed and counted them...the total came to 54. Realizing the more limited opportunities I would have for wearing such in the deep south and in preparation for the move I culled the heard to 28. Lately I've found myself rebuilding the hoard! LOL.

Big mistake, if you don't count, you don't know the number - not knowing the number removes one obstacle from additional purchases, as, then, all you need is a "qualitative" justification, i.e., "I don't have a mid-weight, grey, cotton, crewneck sweater" which sounds quite reasonable versus, "I have 54 sweaters, but 'need' a mid-weight, grey, cotton, crewneck sweater," which sounds crazy to non-AAAC humans.

I'm a sucker for symmetry.

Please buy more cashmere and merino v-necks and more crew necks and cardigans to even out the stacks. Then post again.

Not a sweater problem but a developing closet problem. Now is the time for expansion. Maybe your kids have already left the best and their rooms can be turned into walk in closets. In your case I imagine you need one each for your clothes and your shoes

I have more (not bragging) but live where the coldest it ever gets and that's at night in the middle of winter is 47 F.

And you are nicely organized. Plus you have a great cuff link box! :happy:

Thank goodness I don't wear many sweaters. No space for what I have already.

I'm already on it.

I went to BB to return 3 sweaters and 4 ties I bought the day before Christmas at their sale. On Christmas Day I went online and found I could purchase the same merchandise for $170 less online. So I did just that and they arrived yesterday.

At the store I found the below sweater at 40% off. Upon ringing it up the salesman informed me I had earned $110 BB credit as points. The sweater was therefore only $68.

Discounting the 32 stored cotton sweaters, I followed FF's advice and thought, "I don't have a light blue Donegal, cableknit, double breasted, shawl collar, horn button cardigan, with pockets." Plus with the exchange savings, discount, and points, it was free and I walked out of the store 1 sweater and $102 richer.

When it, and the Spier and Mackay turtlenecks arrive the only asymmetrical slot will be the cashmere's.

Woofa: I'm already using the computer room closet, guest room closet and one son"s closet. My wife has another son's closet and all the master bedroom closets. We split another closet in a guest suite. That;s upstairs. The two downstairs coat closets are bursting at the seams. We're equally at fault there, though the dog's sweaters, jackets, and raincoats do take up quite a bit of room themselves. I suspect she owns more sweaters and coats then most non-AAAC persons.

As Chief Brody would say, "I'm gonna need a bigger closet."

EXACTLY my approach with shoes. People ask all the time how many pairs I own. Honest answer: I don't know.

Or he could donate sweaters to guys starting a sweater collection to make those piles even.

Well, I only own 5, so I feel underprivilged! Regarding my shirts, however....

My friend, you are a wise man. I wish I had chosen the path you have walked in the instance described above!

 

[Hebrew Barrister]

Wow.

You make me feel better about my wardrobe. I felt bad owning like 6 sweaters.

After losing weight, I didn't realize knitwear was so involved. V-neck and crew-neck Merino and cashmere now. Pop-over vests, Cardigan vests, wool & cashmere cardigans. Not much in bulky stuff yet. Maybe a shawl cardigan next. shaggy dog, fisherman's knit?????

 

[momsdoc]

Don't forget Aran sweaters. Still on my to do list.

My fiancé bought me an Aran sweater from O'Connell's for Christmas. Very nice sweater and the wool is substantial, folded up in my armoire it looks like an afghan.

I'm with you on this. Just like everything on this forum, once you start the rabbit hole is endless.
