Both Fear of God and Alexander McQueen land at $690, so this is a tie on price and a split on philosophy. Fear of God puts the money into the cloth: ~15oz Italian-milled fleece with a brushed interior, cut deliberately oversized. McQueen runs a lighter ~12oz fleece but trades fabric weight for bold British-luxury detailing and a structured statement cut.

Dramatic statement detailing, true-to-size structured cut, recognizable British-luxury name, bold design
Which should you buy?
At the same $690, buy the Fear of God if you care about the fabric itself: the ~15oz Italian fleece outweighs McQueen's ~12oz and reads as luxury-grade cloth, plus you get the oversized silhouette. Pay the same for the McQueen only if the dramatic detailing and the McQueen name are the point, since you're spending equal money for less fleece. For most people who want a heavyweight hoodie, the Fear of God gives more garment per dollar. Size down on the Fear of God; the McQueen runs true.
