Which should you buy?
Same $75, so pick on priorities. Buy the Everlane if you want a denser oxford cloth and a tidy minimalist wardrobe with no hunting for stock. Pay the same for Spier & Mackay if construction-per-dollar is the point and you can deal with spotty availability, since the details usually live on costlier shirts. Neither is a markup trap at this price.
