I would like to buy irregular Jerzees T-shirts (white) 5.6 oz. Around 15,000 pcs.
Price is $ 0.60/piece. Can someone explain to me what exactly I am getting, what does irregular mean? How is the quality of the shirts?

Irregular can mean that they are sewn crooked, have flaws, have one sleeve longer than the other.. etc.
If you're planning on selling the shirts, it's probably best to avoid those and look for something a little better quality. If you're going to give them away for promotions or something, they might be ok, but you should definitely buy a smaller sample (maybe 5 shirts instead of 15,000) to see how the quality is first.
It means they're mistake shirts that didn't pass quality control that they'll pass off on some sucker who cares more about short term gains than long term customer satisfaction.

We have no idea. It depends on the batch, and how stringent the quality control is. It could be something minor (an inconsistent dye colour), less minor (oil stains, unobtrusive repaired holes in fabric) through to serious (holes, sleeves not sewn on, crooked sewing, etc.). They're seconds. You won't know what to expect until you get them.
sometimes, the shirts are pulled to the seconds bin because a flaw was found on a few shirts and it's not worth the time checking them all since the last checkpoint.
with these cases, you do get first quality mixed in the batch.
other times, vendors will sell mixed batches on purpose and inform you of the seconds percentage rate. Something like 50% seconds, 50% first quality.
irregulars- runners, holes, lighter weight, bad color, bad stitching, crooked collars, etc. , could be a number of things . That is a lot of irregulars to buy. Good luck getting rid of them.
I was at a meeting with wholesaler and he is realy huge I mean realy. He told me that he buy those T-shirts from mill directly and that T-shirts are first quality but the mill cant sell them(???). And the only thing that is wrong with them is that they cut the tag.

Why do you think that they cut the tag? Because they are seconds, there was something wrong with them when they got inspected. They are not 1st quality, they are seconds period. Just be careful selling irregulars or seconds because you can ruin your reputation. -Edski.

so true.
please peeps, remember this once and for all.
also do the same to your own defective/seconds, *cut the tags*.
Because you dont want another seller of your shirts to come to you and ask:
"Why is so and so selling the shirts at retail price for the wholesale price i paid ?"
get it ?
cutting the tags (a signature) also lets the governing body and consummers know that what they are buying is not perfect. *important* as mentioned already.
Irregular T-shirts?
