FWIW for the last few years at FOSDEM we have printed around 250 t-shirts, the no-VAT prices are ~2.70€ for the bare t-shirts (fruit of the loom, "value weight"), and ~0.70€ for printing (+ ~30€ for the initial frame). Last year we considered to go with better t-shirts (in both quality and "ethics") but this is of course not manageable at such a price, and we wanted to keep offering t-shirts at 5€/10€ to foundation members and visitors. At Akademy two years ago there were very nice embroidered shirts, I don't know how much KDE paid for them but I know I would prefer we go for high quality t-shirt, despite the increased price.
