Cat shedding way too much

It's not my first cat so I am used to normal cat shedding.

My newest cat is a Domestic Shorthair. She basically sheds nonstop no matter what time of year. If I pick her up my shirt is instantly covered in hundreds of hairs. If she rubs against my pants they are covered also.

Somedays I will take her on the porch and comb/pet her to get rid of the hairs. I can be out there for several hours and she will shed hair with every stroke from start to finish. When I first start I will get huge handfull's of hair. It just never stops after hours of combing her she will still be shedding and I just give up.

Luckily she has no bald spots or anything like that to worry about but every piece of clothing I have is covered in her hair.

I have had about 10 cats while growing up and none have even shed a 10th as much as this cat does and when they do shed you normally find clumps or fur around the house not your clothes completely covered.

I was hoping someone might have some suggestions on how I can help manage this to a more appropriate level

Thanks,
David
