Probably just because nice tall tees are hard to find, and if NS can charge that much they most likely will.

Maybe if they aren't selling too well then NS will put the price down after a while.

yeah i was all stoked when i saw them and was considering buying one, then saw $33 and thats way too much.

especially with like, shipping ($6) and tax, then converting it to canadian dollars (1:0.77 or something) it'd probably be close to $50...

again you don't get it this isnt a tall tee you buy for $4 mass produced in China
this is a custom made shirt that only has 72 produced. Because there are a small number of them and the fact that they are tall tees and not your regular shirt it cost more to have them made which translates into a higher price. NS does not make money off the shirts the money the would be "profit" is used to produce more NS products so don't hate appreciate! and support NS with the sickest shirt ever

The main reason (as someone stated) is because we wanted to get the right kind of tall T.   There's a very specific kind (slim and tall) that you guys wanted, so we have been scouring to find the right stuff.   As well, we tried to up the ante on the design, and wanted to keep it ultra-limited edition.  All of this made it more expensive per unit.  We are growing our store every day, and with your support continually buying our products, we are able to build up more money to buy more sweet gear.   In time, we'll get to the point that we can order both quantity and quality, and pass the savings onto you. 

In the meantime, the prices are what they are, but know that every dime of profits is going back to producing more and better gear.

the wibsite they used is kind of expensive. They run at about 33 if you order 6, but they probably got them for like 10 each. I actually am trying to sell some that I designed on that site
