Which should you buy?
Buy the Dockers if you just want a sound everyday tee and the $2 isn't worth chasing. Pay the extra $2 for the Lands' End if you want a heavier, double-stitched body and reinforced neck built to outlast several seasons, plus the guarantee as a backstop. For two dollars, the sturdier build is the easy call unless you specifically want the lighter Dockers feel.
