Which should you buy?
Price is a wash at $350, so it comes down to volume. Choose Off-White if you want the graphic doing the talking and a relaxed street fit. Choose Margiela if you want the same premium cotton with almost no branding and a cleaner, slightly more fitted line. Spend the money on whichever signature you'd actually wear.
