Sorry, but the final price of an item cannot be used to determine whether someone along the chain was exploited.
I was in the t-shirt industry for a number of years. Sold millions of them. The base price of a raw blank t-shirt at scale is around $1-4, so there isn't much room to go lower there. In essence, from your definition, ALL t-shirts are exploitation of some form or another.
