Which should you buy?
At an identical $110 it's relaxed-and-soft versus sharp-and-structured. Buy Good American if you want a soft hand, a wide size range, and a relaxed drape. Buy G-Star if you want the heavier ~10oz fabric and a clean, engineered silhouette that reads sharper than typical fleece. Neither commands a premium over the other; pick the shape you want to wear.
