Last 4 shirt pages broken ( Cleaning URLs with Rewrite Rules)

Hello,

I've successfully acquired my badge for "Cleaning URLs with Rewrite Rules" but in the end the latest 4 shirts have broken down.

Lemme tell you what i mean by showing the shirts.php file.

shirts.php

Working from a few subfolders, you can see on the bottom-left the link to the 1st shirt, localhost/treehouse/shirts4mike2/shirts4mike2_local/shirts/101/. Hovering on the other shirts reveal the same link with the correct product id (101-108).

However, while the first 4 shirts just work, the other 4 shirts return a 404 error as they get send to localhost/shirts, with shirts 107-108 even showing the wrong id, displaying 7 and 8: shirt 108

I have failed to notice the pattern which is causing so I hope you can help me with this problem. What i'm gonna share below are the code of .htaccess (in the shirts4mike2_local folder), products.php and the config.php file.

.htaccess

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /treehouse/shirts4mike2/shirts4mike2_local/

RewriteRule ^shirts/$ shirts/shirts.php
RewriteRule ^shirts/([0-9]+)/$ shirts/shirt.php?id=$1
RewriteRule ^reciept.php$ /reciept/ [R=301]
RewriteRule ^contact.php$ /contact/ [R=301]
RewriteRule ^shirts.php$ /shirts/ [R=301]
RewriteRule ^(shirts/[0-9]+)$ /$1/ [R=301]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=([0-9]+)$
RewriteRule ^shirt.php$ /shirts/%1/? [R=301]

To make sure I understand the problem, do you see the shirt details page correctly when you go here?

But not when you go here?

I'm looking through the code now to see if anything stands out.

Nope, when i go to

I'll get localhost/shirts/105 in my browser bar, same counts for 106. For 107 and 108, it's says localhost/shirts/7 and 8.

(Section where i check if Firebug gives me the HTTP 301 code when i visit those pages)
