The Villain is a ~13oz heavyweight loopback fleece, logo-free, with an elongated tapered cut; Sandro runs a lighter ~10oz brushed cotton fleece with subtle branding and Parisian-contemporary polish. The Villain gives you more cloth and a draped statement cut; Sandro gives you a sharper, fashion-forward silhouette.

Which should you buy?
Pick the Villain at $248 if you want heft and a clean, logo-free fleece you can dress up. Pay the extra $7 for Sandro only if the fashion-forward cut and Parisian styling are the point, since the ~10oz fabric alone won't justify it over the heavier John Elliott. At a $7 gap, weight and aesthetic decide it: the Villain is the more substantial garment, Sandro the more styled one. Size carefully on the Villain, which runs long.
