Which should you buy?
The extra $5 buys a heavier 12oz organic terry and a more substantial, workwear-cut hoodie. Pay it for the Taylor Stitch if you want the heavier fabric, the responsible make, and a roomier drape. Save the $5 with the Arc'teryx if you want the trimmer, more athletic fit and don't need the extra weight. Both are honestly priced, so let fit and fabric weight, not the small gap, decide.
