Diesel ($180) and Sandro ($195) are both designer cotton zip hoodies, but they aim at opposite ends of the room. Diesel is bold and logo-forward with its denim-house aesthetic and a relaxed contemporary cut. Sandro is the refined, discreet pick: a slim French-contemporary cut with clean lines and subtle branding, which is what the extra $15 buys.

Which should you buy?
The extra $15 buys Sandro's refined cut and quieter branding, not heavier fabric. Buy Diesel if you want the bold, logo-forward look and a more relaxed fit, and to save the $15. Pay up for Sandro if you want clean lines, discreet branding and a trimmer French-contemporary silhouette. They're genuinely different aesthetics, so let the logo question decide more than the price.
