What browser and version are you testing this in, I just used your posted code in Firefox and Chrome and I am seeing two rows of shirts with 4 shirts per row. An alternative you might try instead of inline-block on the list items is floating them left, but you will have to add the overflow: hidden property to the products UL so that it clears the floats. For example:

.section.shirts ul.products {margin: 0 0 -17px 0; overflow: hidden; padding: 0; width: 997px;}
.section.shirts ul.products li {
    float: left;
    vertical-align: top;
    list-style: none;
    border: 1px solid #e3e1e0;
    -webkit-border-radius: 2px;
    border-radius: 2px;
    width: 202px;
    text-align: center;
    text-transform: lowercase;
    padding: 14px;
    background: #f0eeed;
    margin: 0 0 17px 17px;
    position: relative;
    left: -17px;
}

Also, as a heads up, I edited your post just to fix the syntax highlighting on the code you posted. For future reference after your first three ticks if you specify the language it helps with code formatting. For example using css and php after the first three ticks.

Testing it in chrome, Version 42.0.2311.90 (64-bit). I had to use box-size property to get the four rows appear properly.

Thanks for the pointers.

Cheers
