Which should you buy?
At only $45 apart, this is cotton-and-logo versus cashmere-and-discretion. Buy the Dior if you want the couture-house name to read and prefer a sturdier cotton fleece. Pay the $45 more for the Cucinelli if you want the softer cashmere blend and a hoodie that signals nothing to anyone who doesn't already know. The premium here is tiny, so pick the philosophy rather than the price.
