I guess you missed checking the local dealer 1st part of the post. I also like the suggestion to buy a new Harley as a route for getting a free shirt.
So you went looking for a bargain priced HD shirt in a tourist area, in a HD shop that only sells clothing to tourists, not even Harleys or parts, and you didn't find a bargain...really?
As for $28 - it's 2011. That's not that high compared to concert shirts, etc. - heck, home silk screeners are selling 2-color shirts on Ebay for about that much or more, these days. If I go to Musician's Friend to buy a t-shirt from my favorite guitar or drume manufacturer, it's going to cost me $26 PLUS shipping.

I have had the Sporty for a while now and decided I might pick up some HD branded clothing. I knew the local dealer was pretty expensive, but thought I might get better deals in Cherokee NC. Nope $28 for a friggin t-shirt. I did end up buying some boots though (marked down from $159 to $89) - and yep, yes I will admit that I that am cheap.
This is just a fact of life

I always thought I was right on the cusp of being lower middle class poor, living on a fixed pension.... but damn, I wear what I want to and never cry about $28 for a shirt. and I would never go out in public whining about what a shirt cost.
suck it up or shut up.

Supply and demand. People must be paying it or they wouldn't charge that much. I don't think it's cheap to not pay that, I wouldn't.

Nope - the Swede is correct. It's just a T-Shirt. It's not hand made, it's not Italian, it's not made of the finest silk. It's a t-shirt that likely cost, what?... $3 to manufacture?
Only a moron would pay $28 for that.
