Human Footprint - Our Clothing Footprint

We have clothes for every occasion "” from formal dinner parties to Saturday hiking trips, each event in our lives has corresponding attire. Party dresses, shoes, handbags, suits, jackets, blouses and jeans; conservative, formal, casual or trendy "” we've got them all. But imagine all of the clothes you will wear in your lifetime hung on one 30-foot-high wall.

I don't know. Personally, I think it's something to aspire to. Of course, when you're focused on EGs it takes a bit longer to amass such a collection.

- At any given time, a man will have seven pairs of jeans "” and an average of more than 25 T-shirts.

They clearly haven't met us.

I'm at about 7 pairs of jeans. I don't think I have that many t-shirts though.

no guilt?

 

[Burningbarricade]

I've got maybe 5 pairs of jeans and about 10 t-shirts.

Looks like I've got a bit of catching up to do

Oh man I am way short. Only 1 pair of jeans and less than 10 t-shirts (if I exclude undershirts but include work-out shirts)...
