Which should you buy?
Fifteen dollars separates two essentially identical garment-dyed tees, so the question is which badge you want. Buy the C.P. Company to save the $15 and get the same midweight cotton with functional detailing. Pay up for the Stone Island only if the compass logo and brand status are the point. On fabric and construction alone there's no reason to spend the extra.
