Which should you buy?
The extra $8 buys a slightly heavier fleece and organic-cotton sourcing in a deliberately plain pant. Pay up for Everlane if you want the minimal, logo-free look and care where the cotton comes from. Stick with J.Crew if you'd rather have the deeper garment-dyed color and don't mind the lighter ~10oz fabric, especially when it's on sale. Neither wins on fabric weight by much, so let look and sourcing decide.
