Which should you buy?
Same $20, different priorities. Buy Champion if longevity and a roomier, sportier cut matter most, since its dense knit and stitching are built to last. Choose Quince if you care more about the cotton against your skin and want an organic or supima upgrade in a clean, minimalist cut. Skip Quince if you're rough on tees, since its finishing is more functional than refined.
