Many of those, not all, mind you, of those who scoff at paying for a t-shirt, have no compunction whatsoever at paying whatever they have to pay for name brand leather goods, heated clothing, chrome and/or black do-dads, helmet, jeans, jewelry, tv's, cars, houses, lawnmowers or whatever else they deem to be worth the money. I think I'll wear my Morgan & Wacker HD shirt today, since I had to travel to Brisbane, Australia to get it.

It is what it is. If you like shirt enough to fork over $28 for it, then buy it.
If not, then don't.

I wait until they hit the clearance section and cost "only" $20. They may be last years fashion but I don't need the latest and greatest.

Only a moron would pay $28 for that.
Nah, I'm going with idiot. An idiot would pay $28 for a tshirt over and over because they like them.

A moron says ridiculously ironic and stupid things and believes he/she is justified in doing so.

Idiot fits me better, moron fits txswede better.

I do pay < $20 for under armour shirts (which I really like), and btw I could afford a $28 shirt, I just choose not to.(Which is close to what I told the door to door vacuum cleaner salesman.)

That's right, it's all highly over priced.

Bought a HD t-shirt the other day, took it home, broke out the scissors and customized it, worth at least five dollars more now.

i have came to this conclusion as well.People often ask me about whatever tshirt i am wearing....usually somthing that has no real meaning to me it just looked cool when i bought it.I realized i might as well voice my opinion while im at it.

Pretty much this.---I personally dont blame the guy for not buying it.It is overpriced....but whatever.Somebody is buying them and that is cool too.

I have 2 hd tshirts ..one was a gift from my niece.She got it in california.I dont know how much I know she paid out the wazoo for it.I cant take it back so i might as well wear it. The other i bought at a flea market for 5 bucks.Its black with the hd logo on it and yeah it looks cool.I wish i bought 10 of them.I dont care if its bootleg.
I have a couple from an indy shop that i got for about $10-12. I have no problem advertising for them as they have helped me out a number of times.

So what? You think a Clapton t-shirt for $40 is more reasonable? Nobody forces you to buy them.
