Discuss website design for ecommerce sites, useability, navigation and other development considerations. To get feedback on your t-shirt design(s) or website, please post a request in our Site Reviews and Design Reviews section here.
Lastly, another good trick to get your name out is to subscribe to other high traffic blogs and start posting. Hopefully your name will be unique enough that it will stand out in searches.

The cost of adwords depends on how popular the keywords are, but they are instant, give targeted traffic and you can control the budget. They work best for niche areas where the keywords aren't being fought over, something like t-shirt will cost a fortune, if anyone can enlighten us?????
THere are any number of resources online for learning how to best set-up your site under the search terms "Search Engine Optimization" learn this art form and you will never spend a dime advertising. Be patient and persistent. Subscribe to Google Webmaster tools. Good start and good luck.
The biggest thing you can do is create inlinks to your site. One thing I am doing is looking at other t-shirt sites to get a feel for where they are getting their links. To do this I use Yahoo's Site Explorer site at Site Explorer - Yahoo! Site Explorer. Put in another site, or your site and see where the inlinks are coming from. This may give you some ideas on where you could focus your efforts to get traffic. Blogs are a great way to get links to your site and increase seach engine placement.

THere are any number of tools to check your optimization and validate what the search engines see. Axandra makes several and a good free SIM spider tool is located at Free Online Spider Simulator | Summit Media
I think the best thing is to really target the people you want - are they skateboarders, music lovers, fencing experts? There are normally a few key sites for whatever hobby/passion you can think of. I'd send an email to the webmaster and offer them some free tees in exchange for a link or mention on the site. Forums are also good, particularly if you are active on the board, don't just spam them. Don't forget all your friends either - ask them to forward your address to everyone you know and ask them nicely to forward it to any of their friends who may be interested. I would work on all the social networks before jumping into adwords - it can quickly become very expensive! Good luck!
