Do people really routinely spend $575 for a white shirt?

Just came across one of the free magazines I get, the WSJ magazine (www.wsjmagazine.com). There was an article about the "white shirt." It talks a little about the history in men and women and how to wear it.

It lists some six samples that range from $44.50 for the Gap model and up to $575 for the Giorgio Armani.

Not sure if the Armani model is truly worth the difference...or is it? Ask me, and I would say the marginal increase in cost is not.
