what vlad is saying is that we understand your concern when it comes to budget, but as an adult (mature in age whatever your age may be), you should be aware that you get what you pay for so you should be buying it from their sites, and the djs are people just like you and me who need to make a living. If your an avid fan/supporter, you should not mind shelling out money for these articles.
If you are new to the scene and conscious about your budget that's fine! just don't try to cut corners in life, especially around our community where we share our love for the music. You won't get an easy welcoming if you come off as someone who is "in the scene just because its a scene".
I'm sure you can check ebay if you are seriously looking to save some cash. Otherwise, I'd say check the sites of these labels to purchase any official articles of clothing with their brandings on them.
Just think what it's like when you was in jr high when you got a fake tommy hilfigure shirt and everyone made fun of you at school...yea something like that...lols

but its a tshirt. 50 dollars vs a 20 dollar isnt going to get you a 30 dollar price diff in quality. the tshirt that isnt a lot. its the shipping that kills it!@ i wanted a vandit shirt 20 bucks. shipping. 20 bucks!! plus im afraid it wont get here in time. as much as im thinkin about their fortune i too am thinkin of mine. and there are more than one ways to support. i pay for their events, buy cds, make all my friends go to their events.

then maybe a "shirt" shouldn't be as important thus you not having a need for it. i mean their branding is so small and specific for it to be mass produced by knock-off companies who sell it for cheaper. it's like any hobby, like gas powered remote controlled cars, you're definitely paying some cash for it.
and if it's just a shirt, then go to another store and get something cheaper from H&M, Macy's?
Maybe the vandit means you'll belong, or show people you are down with the music. There are more ways to express that than to wear a shirt that says VANDIT at a PVD Event.

Brian is way more articulate than I am, lmao... Im just straight up brutally honest.
If you want to show some love... be creative... make a t-shirt, you dont need to absolutely buy one.
