So I've been going through some of my belongings, and came across an interesting problem; I have too many clothes.

I know this isn't anything life threatening, so if you'd be so kind; don't post if you don't want to help lol.

So, if there were an emergency, I have my BOB and clothes in that, but I'd like to have all of my other clothing in a single plastic box I could throw in the truck and have my entire wardrobe with me.

My ideas are to have the following:
1 Belt
1 Hiking Shoes
1 Hiking Boots
1 Running Shoes
1 Dress Shoes
1 Work Shoes
Dress Clothes: Blazer, Shirts, Ties, Pants (All on 2 Hangers)
14 Shirts
14 Pairs of Socks
5 Sports Shorts
5 Shorts
2 Jeans
5 Pants
3 Gloves
1 Army Parka
14 Underwear

What do you guys think? What could I pare down and make more simple?

Depending on where you live, some layering might be advisable. Long undies, a sweater or two, a vest, and a hat.

I'm thinking a raincoat's not a bad idea either.

I live in TN, and the parka is waterproof and could double as a winter jacket and rain jacket. I do like to layer clothing and I have 2 thermals for that... I'd really like to get all my clothing under...50 items.

What about rain in warmer weather? You'll sweat your butt off in that parka.

Yeah, it can get a little cold in Tenn. Especially up in them mountains. And hot in the summer. You'll have to be ready for everything. :thumb:

I have clothing to last for years. prepared not to have to spend money as times get tougher. I pick the best of the season to put in my b0b everything else will get left behind if i have to flee for my life. bag changes seasonally with clothing. other gear gets updated when needed but stays in bag until called for (and I hope i never use it!)

1 Work ShoesEliminate, use hiking or running shoes
Dress Clothes: Blazer, Shirts, Ties, Pants (All on 2 Hangers)
14 ShirtsPar it down to 10?
14 Pairs of Socks
5 Sports ShortsDo you need these?
5 Shorts
2 Jeans
5 PantsThree.

14 Underwear

First I envisioned you were talking about to many clothes, as in closets and closets full. lol. :

 

[Murdok]

Haha, not closets and closets, but the small amount that I do have is bothering me... probably some "deeper psychological meaning" or some B.S. there. Anyways, I've gotten it down to this at the moment:

UPDATE:
I think this is my final loadout:
8 Socks (6 Short, 1 Long, 1 Fitted)
8 Underwear
2 Basketball Shorts
1 Khaki Shorts
2 Jeans
7 Shirts
2 Overshirts (Button-ups)
2 Thermal Shirts

It takes up half a plastic box (which is what I wanted), it gives me enough clothing to wear socks, underwear, and a shirt every day (plus clothes as emergency or to wear to do laundry in). I can wear basketball shorts 4 days of the week, shorts/jeans 3-4 days of the week, plus I have overshirts for summer and thermal shirts for winter. All said and done, i don't think my setup can be any better.

NOTE:
I also have a hanger for my dress clothing (blazer, pants, 3 shirts) and a hanger for my team clothing (jacket, sweatpants). Also, I have dress shoes (with ties inside), hiking shoes, tennis shoes, and slippers.

For anyone wondering, I only have 3 brands in my entire box I noticed... Nike, George, and Timberland. I feel thrifty and fanboy-esque.

Thanks for the help everyone!

Cool, now I'm wondering is this changed seasonally,or are you not concerned with wool socks, longjohns, sweaters, etc?

consider scottevest.com

i'm a fan who enjoys their many pockets useful when the SHTF.

I suggest jettisoning the dress shoes and dress clothes outright unless you expect to be bugging out to an upscale steakhouse .

You have a (total) of three pairs of shorts but only two pairs of jeans. With 7/8 changes of shirts and socks/underwear it would seem to me you would want to change your pants at least as often as you change your shirt. Dump the team sportswear and add a few more pairs of jeans. Bring nothing on hangers.

Basketball shorts are ok for sleeping or light activity but I would not include them as part of anything you expect to do heavy work in. I have several pairs of denim carpenter's shorts for working in hot weather. They take forever to wear out and launder easily.

Good luck!
