For what it's worth, Sierra Trading Post is selling merino t shirts for $40. I just ordered one.

The Woolrich Elite Series Base Layer garments are extremely comfortable and functional. They feel like ultra-soft cotton, but wicks moisture away from the skin and allows water vapor to pass through the wool fiber without losing thermal properties. Merino wool puts a new twist on old fibre. Mercerized Merino is finer and softer than most other wools. There is no itching or scratching thanks to the 6 stage process known as mercerizing. This gives the wool the feel of cashmere and the look of silk, ideal for next-to-skin applications. The wool still has all of its original benefits including breathability, durability, moisture absorption and release, micro-climate buffer between fabric and skin, allseason wear, odor resistance, stain resistance, and crease resistance. Mercerized merino is machine washable and can be tumble dried.
