Which should you buy?
Same $60, so choose by what you want on the shirt and on your body. Go Diesel if you like visible branding and a trimmer, modern silhouette. Go Edwin if you'd rather have a heftier, well-built blank tee with Japanese craftsmanship and a more relaxed, workwear feel. The Edwin reads as the quieter, more durable buy; the Diesel reads as the louder, fashion-forward one.
