Most days I will wear a t-shirt that I have been given either though a conference or other means. I wear them mostly because I like them and want to be identified as a developer (by other developers or people who 'know'). So, I like these shirts and happily wear them to my co-working space or around town and to industry meet-ups. I have never paid for one (outside of conf fees) and probably never will. I might pay for a service that bundled up several shirts from companies I cared about only to cover the cost of shipping and 'time.' But forking over $15 for a single shirt from some random start-up does not make much sense to me.
