ETA but I'm a girl and don't know shit about how many ties a person needs.

3. C'mon, the only reason that I have that many ties is specifically because of my wife.
Anytime I get a new shirt, I have to have a specific tie to go with it. I think she equates the tie to how women think about shoes.

4. I'd agree with the ties, but then again
I'm a girl, and don't own any of them. Can they be equated to earings?

2. Honey, my husband, Nordstrom and Brooks' best customer
would consider that his March wardrobe. It sounds more than reasonable to us reasonable folk, (not him, he's an idiot)

7. Not too much.
I would go for more dress shirts & less ties though.

9. You Call That A Wardrobe?
That wouldn't even be one tenth of what I own. The walk in closet in my bedroom is packed and I even use the closets in my guest rooms for the overflow. I have a real fetish for shoes and belts too. At last count.........209 pairs of shoes and 80 odd belts. And yes, I do try to wear them all.
