 It looks quiet, but the
T-Shirt sharks are lurking by Cruefan
The stories about T-shirt shops selling "custom" shirts for $70-100 are true. In fact several of these crooks have been arrested recently. The best way to protect yourself is to just walk away. If they try to rip you off and demand payment for a shirt you didn't order contact the Police. They know the situation and will help you.
Browse around, some of the shirts are funny. Browse only!
Go to K-Mart near Stock Island. cheaper t-shirts, better product. Leave a Comment

I have not been here, but if you don't want to buy from the aggressive T-shirt vendors, I suggest going to the T-Shirt Factory and getting a custom shirt with whatever logo you like done for you. They will charge about $15.00 each

I have a picture under the Shopping Tips
If you have a car, and are in Key West on the weekend, take a ride up to the Big Pine Flea Market, which is every Saturday and Sunday between 8 and 2. If you don't mind digging through the pile to find your size or color or logos that you like, you can get 4 T-shirts or polo shirts for $10.00 (usually seconds which will often have a star embroidered over the flaw). They also sell food (to eat or to cook), jewelry, socks, sunglasses, and souveniers. Leave a Comment

Instead, look for the street vendors along Duval. Usually, the quality will be as good (or better) than the shirts found in the shops. Or I suggest that you buy a souvenier tee from your favorite bar. You won't spend as much, and you'll have a real Key West memory. Leave a Comment

They've been investigated by the FBI for supplying money to terrorists.. not sure how it turned out.. anyways, they sell ugly t-shirts with filthy messages on them that have nothing to do with Key West... don't buy from them. Maybe if we ignore them they will go away! Leave a Comment

Duvall street is filled with 'T' shirt factorys/stores where they instantly silk screen shirts with pictures....While in some of the shops casually buying a 'T' shirt the owners will ask you to pick out a couple of free shirts....He than asks your opinion of various designs for the shirts...The shirts are free...but the logo's are about 15.00 each...so your tab may be higher than you think...It wasn't a big deal, but I thought it a little on the old fashion 'hustle' selling side...I think an international visitor might be a little surprised as the free turns out to be anything but...free Leave a Comment

If you're looking for a clothing souvenier unique to Key West, do yourself a favor and stay out of the tacky t-shirt shops. I've traveled around enough to realize they're the same shirts you get in Key West, NC, Savannah, etc. with different locations "Key West" printed on them.
Look for something that's not identical to what is sold in every other shop.
If you want a unique t-shirt, check out the vendors in Mallory Square. I purchased a few nice polos that had some little handpainted scenes on them. They were good quality white cotton polos and at least you won't have the same thing as everyone else and you're supporting local artists. I'll see if I can dig out a pic of one of these shirts...

Actually this goes for all the T-Shirt stores in the Keys: Do you really need to add another cheesy T-Shirt to your collection??? Or some stupid beads? Or some other silly souvenir that will end up in the garbage or is some shoebox stowed away. I wish all the T-Shirt store were bars, cafes, galleries
You'd better go the a bar and spend your money on a drink. Believe me you will have a much better time that spending your precious time and hard-earned money in a T-Shirt store on some meaningless souvenir. Leave a Comment

Beware of the t-shirt shop sales people. Some of them are real pirates. Compare proces first then buy. The KW T-Shirt factory is way cooler than the Duval shirts anyway. I forget their address but I'm going there at the end of this month and I'll post it then. Now their T-shirts are an absolute must have! All hand screened before your very eyes and the best designs in town.
Dicker a little for god's sake!
The Key West T-shirt factory. I'll be writing more about it later in my places to visit section. Leave a Comment

Be wary of where you shop. There are many stores with a rip you off mentality. There are some places with amazingly high prices for amazingly cheap product. Just watch what you buy. Leave a Comment

Tee Shirt Shops!!!! Be Careful. Some try to trick you into making custom shirts and charging you outrageous prices. Just walk out, or call the police if this happens and they are asking you to pay. The Key West police know about this scam and will protect you. Leave a Comment
