First, we must recognize that all pairs of shoes and socks are actually two items each, whereas the pants and the t-shirts are individual items.

Therefore there are 20*2= <<20*2=40>>40 individual socks in 20 pairs of socks.

Similarly, there are 5*2=<<5*2=10>>10 individual shoes in 5 pairs of shoes.

Therefore, Jonas has 40+10+10+10= <<40+10+10+10=70>>70 individual items in his collection.

To double this number, we perform 70*2=<<70*2=140>>140.

This means we need 140-70=<<140-70=70>>70 new items to double the size.

Since there are 2 individual socks in each pair, we take 70/2= <<70/2=35>>35 new pairs of socks.
