I am wondering if I can get the status of my site http://www.xawear.com. I added it to I believe Shopping:Clothing: Hats and Caps or Shopping: Clothing: T-Shirts. I know its been a long time since I added it and for some reason it won't show up. The sites for my submission are http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Clothing/Casual/Caps_and_Hats/ and http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Clothing/Casual/T-Shirts/. Please let me know. Thank you.

It won't do. It doesn't fit into either category and you should only have submitted it to one category in any case. Plus, it has been reviewed a number of times -
Rejected from:
Shopping/Clothing/Casual/T-Shirts/Sports
Shopping/Clothing/Custom/Printing
Shopping/Clothing/Casual/T-Shirts
Not waiting in
Shopping/Clothing/Casual/Caps_and_Hats
The indications are that there is still at least one copy left in the system but unfortunately I cannot give you any information as to where that might be. That copy will be reviewed at some point no doubt.
You are very fortunate that given this clear violation of DMOZ guidelines (see the submission policies which forbid the multiple submission of sites) that the site has not been excluded on those grounds. However, I suspect that if that sort of activity is continued more stringent measures would be taken so please don't submit it again. Thanks.

It keeps geting rejected because you are violating the guidelines and submitting multiple times to multiple categories. That means someone has to run around after you cleaning up the extra copies. That makes extra work for us and does not makes us happy. The advice given above should be followed.
It's very straightforward - never submit your site again unless an editor tells you to do so - or you might be banned permanently.

Rejected because of duplicate submission.
As oneeye already wrote it looks as if 1 suggestion is stil waiting review.
The only thing you can do now is wait. As you can't tell us where your site was suggested and we can't see where the last suggestion is waiting there is no reason to ask for status again. It will be reviewed sometime in the future. Maybe tomorrow, maybe nexat month, maybe next year. Noone can predict when it will happen.

If you need it to be on DMOZ my advice is to shut down the site and your company. We will never be able to deliver what you think we will. Any site that can only florish because it is listed on DMOZ is deemed to fail.

To add to what bobrat says, I will give you the precise reason for the rejections so far. Because there is another copy of the submission awaiting review somewhere. Not because having been reviewed the site has been found lacking. That is a decision for the reviewer of the copy that is still awaiting review. Unfortunately because you have sent the site to so many categories over time it is impossible to see exactly where the remaining copy or copies is/are. Only you could possibly know all the other categories you have submitted to and I'm guessing that you've lost track.
The site is related to clothing of all kinds - my guess is that if it is ever listed then it will be a category that covers all the various types of clothing sold. There are a few possibilities so I'm not going to predict one in particular. But you now need to leave it in the hands of an editor, the one who eventually deals with the remaining submission in the system.
Don't rely on it. Any review could take place tomorrow or it might be years off. There is no way of telling. When it is reviewed it depends whether the reviewer finds sufficient unique content on the site to justify listing it. Nothing is guaranteed. If you really need a DMOZ listing then your business model is all wrong, no-one should ever base anything on something that is so unpredictable.
