@neglesaks Made where and which quality? And "fair' to whom?Is your question practical or hypothetical?Fair-trade clothes are often made in small batches and are especially presented, so 20$ could be justified in practice. If in mass production, I'm sure an ethically produced organic t-shirt wouldn't be much more than 9$.If you don't care about any standards, a t-shirt for 2$ wholesale could be a fair offer.

@dr_norb 'Fair' as 'your gut feeling of what a median t-shirt ought to cost' more or less. Midian quality, not made with obvious slave labour. etc.

@neglesaks Then about 9-10$ at the current cost of living level of typical producer countries.But that's more gut-feeling than actual knowledge of costs.

@dr_norb This is perfect, and that seems to roughly align with my gutfeel as well.

@neglesaks What I feel comfortable spending? $10 if the shirt will last me a year without showing wear under normal use.
