Which should you buy?
Same $98 either way, so pick by use. Buy the Bonobos if you want a clean, well-cut everyday hoodie and care more about how it sits than how it performs. Pay the same for Ten Thousand if you'll train, sweat, or just want the more durable ~10oz fabric and athletic cut. Neither is a markup play over the other; they're solving different problems at one price.
