Simultaneously, you also have a dehumidifier
Problem, and a moth-away problem.

You need a fair isle or two. I understand. I have a sweater problem too. Mainly cardigans.

 

[AbbaDatDeHat]

Anybody else got a moth/bug zapper in there living room or is that just a hat guy thing? Lol

 

[Guppy]

I store my sweaters in giant 40 gallon sterilite bins with the lids clamped on them, and full of bags of cedar chips. So far, no moths. Knock on wood.

Nah, not my style. Too noisy. I like solid colored thick cable knit fisherman sweaters where the texture and color variation provides the visual interest, not the pattern of colors.

NO COSBY SWEATERS lol.

Gosh. I have 4 merino v-necks in black and one dark grey 1950's style cardigan. I keep them in a plastic bin with a lid. No moths after 15 years. My hats live in plastic bags.

The two issues are comorbid.

Great taste in sweaters. I like the thick, beefy sweaters as well.

Sweaters are the best.

 

[Guppy]

Right now they are!

Sweaters can be addictive. I just got Filson’s 3GG crewneck sweater, today.

EDIT: After my original post, I bought two of Filson’s 4GG sweaters that I couldn’t find in Manhattan or online, in my size. Earlier today, I called customer service to inquire but was on hold for a while and had to disconnect. After my original post, I called back and asked I f they would get the two sweaters back in stock soon. She didn’t see that they would, but transferred me to their Edina, Minnesota store that did have the two particular sweaters in my size. That’s customer service!

46 actually. But I don't see the problem, unless they are all unwanted Christmas presents from Grandma or the Great Aunt that you only hear from at Christmas.
There are 75 Aloha shirts in my wardrobe, is that a problem? Yes, there's not enough in blue.

It's a space/storage problem... I am going go have to go through them and cull some redundancies, I think. I may have some up for sale soon on the Classifieds forum.

Sweaters is one problem I do not have. Instead, I have problems with t-shirts, collar shirts, flannels, henleys, sweatshirts/hoodies, jeans, sneakers, etc. -- not to mention ties, dress shirts and suits. Broadly speaking, I have many problems.

If I were you, I would wear plain flat sweaters with the leather jacket, I love leather too, I currently own a genuine leather vest from, maybe 50 years ago.

Wow, how long you been collecting these?. Maybe your local Op Shop/ thrift store would gratefully take a few off you?!.

I think I got the sweater bug about 2011 or 2012. I bought a lot of them in the first year or two, and then after it got ridiculous I slowed down. Then I switched over to leather jackets...
