Which should you buy?
At a $40 gap these are effectively the same price, so buy on style not spec. Take the Loewe if you want the better-finished, quieter knit with craft detailing you'll keep for years. Pay the extra $40 for the Amiri only if the rock-and-roll graphics and mohair texture are what you actually want on your chest. Both shed mohair early, and on pure fibre value Loewe is the stronger build.
