Which should you buy?
Same $55, same ~9oz brushed fleece, so buy on style and sale timing. Choose the Levi's for a relaxed everyday hoodie that pairs with denim; choose the Puma for a sportier look. Both go much cheaper on their frequent promotions, so let whichever is currently discounted break the tie. The Levi's fades slightly in high heat, a minor edge to Puma's durable branding if hot washing is your habit.
