Amiri runs $990, Gucci $1,200, a $210 jump for a wool/cashmere/intarsia logo knit. Amiri sells mohair texture and rock-and-roll graphics; Gucci sells logo motifs and Italian fashion-house recognition. Neither premium is about superior fibre.

Which should you buy?
The extra $210 buys Gucci's logo and intarsia statement, not a better sweater on the body. Buy the Amiri if you want the streetwear graphics and mohair texture and would rather keep the $210. Pay up for the Gucci only if a recognisable logo knit is specifically what you're after. As a fibre-value proposition the Gucci doesn't justify the gap, so it lives or dies on whether you want the branding.
