I have NO IDEA how many are in the tubs. Dozens and dozens. About half, have been gifts from family and friends, as they have traveled. Some are from as far back as Sturgis '74 (I was there in '72, BUT was in NO CONDITION to think 'bout a T shirt. 
)
Most, have never been worn or washed.
The ones I wear 'regularly', are usually long sleeved, and are white with some form of red white and blue on them. GEE, IMAGINE that???
Some day, the kids will have a rather decent collection of some GREAT shirts from the past.
The ones they REALLY wanna git their dick skinners on, are ALL my "paka lolo" shirts, from Hawaii, in the early to mid 70's. What's paka lolo?? "Crazy Smoke", = Cannabis Da Kine, Bra !!!! 
Guess it is a FULL blown 'collection'.
And just like the scoots sitting in the grudge, DON'T know for sure how much $$ is tied up in it, and I DON'T WANNA KNOW.

Don't buy the t-shirt........
what do you say when someone walks up to you and says your harley is to expensive! I can buy a similar bike for half the price....it is the same analogy....

There should be Whinning and Complaining Section added to this forum.
I am new here and sure have seen quite abit of it. If something is too expensive...so what. Find something else. Dont bitch about it. How many people do you think are employed in the HD shirt business??? Printers, suppliers, ink, machinery real estate ect. the list goes on...
Just be lucky you have the freedom to walk into a HD shop and look at what America is made of. Free Enterprise!

I love to pay Harley to advertise for them! Just can't bring myself to buy one when they used to give em away just for being a customer! "F" that!

I walked into a Brand New H-D Dealership this weekend in N.C. and found their standard (to me) short sleeve T's to be priced at a whopping $24.00 to $28.00. In my opinion this is High As He!!. The shirt is advertisement (again, my opinion). Wholesale cost on a good Haynes shirt was $1.30 to $1.70 (white or colors) in a case of 144. Add the cost of screening at $3.00 to roughly $5.00 printed (according to artwork and number of colors). I honestly can't bring myself to pay Freaking $28.00 for a darn T-Shirt. Being a business owner, if you're proudly going to wear my dealership name on the back of your shirt, I'd gladly cut you some slack on the price. (No I didn't look to see if the shirts were made in Taiwan or China.)
I'm up to 4 different dealerships now that I've walked into looking at bikes and not one person has asked, "Hi. Are you in the market for a new scooter"? I'm betting the profits on clothing and accessories is more than what new bikes and service make at dealerships.
