Starter garb has the connotation in my mind of being for people who are unsure of their future in the Society, whether they will stay, or if they may find another niche or specialty. Therefore, starter garb needs to have a smaller price tag.
( To specify, a simple T tunic or gored dress is what I see as starter garb, generic and simple. Fitted or custom items, fine fabrics, and specific styles are no longer starter, and command a higher price.)
Starter rapier armor, however, is a specialty within a specialty. Purchasing such an item infers that the buyer has tested the waters and begun making decisions about their future, and is willing to invest accordingly.
