Default T shirt prices...

I recall reading a thread on here yesterday complaining about the price of $30 for a t shirt from a harley dealer. I chuckled to myself as most of the t shirts that I find wearable go for more than that new. I think the shirts at my local stealer are $30, but I don't know for sure as I would not pay that for a t shirt. How much are shirts at your local stealer, and do you feel they are worth the value? My local stealer Bartels' Harley has weak shirts.

Some of the dressy ones that look really nice are worth the $30ish price.

No t-shirt is worth 30 bucks to me. And I like nice clothes and have no problem plopping down 50-75 bucks for a nice polo shirt but no way I pay 30 bucks for a lousy Harley t-shirt that is gonna fade and look like crap after 3 washes...not to mention I can wear a polo anywhere, I'm not wearing Harley t-shirts anywhere but on my bike....

I buy them when they are on the discount rack for $10 to $15. Most of the time I use my "chrome cash" to buy anything from the dealer. I've had some for 3 or 4 years and they haven't faded or look like crap, they do shrink, so I buy the next size up.

I'd have a problem paying 50-75 bucks for a polo shirt. I'd have a problem paying that for any shirt.

A short sleeve T here is aroud 20 bucks.

Personally, I think HD shirts are a racket, yet we buy them. Sure, I have a closet full of them. Most were gifts. The few that I bought came off the clearance rack.

On most trips to rally's, it's always hotter than hell. Still I see guys standing around in black t-shirts. I found that I can get more mileage out of a 4 pack of wife beaters and a 4 pack of white T's. I stay cool and have a week's wardrobe for 10 bucks.

There are a few of us at work that will buy Harley t shirts as gifts for each other when we are traveling and stop at an out-of state dealer. I don't mind dropping $30 when it's a gift for someone, but the only harley t's I own are the ones that I was given as gifts. I'd never spend that kind of money on a shirt for me. Every shirt I own gets pretty well wrecked very quickly because I ain't too careful with my clother. Everything has grease stains and cigar burns in it.

The shirts at $20-30 is typical in San Diego, but what price cool? The jeans on the other hand are a bargain. Where else can you get a decent jean for $36?[sm=smiley20.gif]

It must be one of these. I wonder if it has the dealers name and bar & shield on the back in fancy script.
