Which should you buy?
The $4 difference is meaningless, so decide on intent. Go Proper Cloth if you care about an exact, dressy fit and want the custom-sizing option to nail the leg line. Go AllSaints Tallis if you want the washed, tonal, fashion-forward face and a close urban cut. Skip the Tallis if you'd trade the moody dye job for fit precision and dependable stretch.
