VerdictThe pick
Buy the Represent if you want a bold oversized street knit and don't care about cashmere softness. The extra $8 on the Todd Snyder buys genuinely better-spun Italian cashmere, cleaner construction, and a fashion-forward slim cut that pills less than budget cashmere. For that tiny gap, the Todd Snyder is the smarter buy for most people who want a refined knit, especially picked up on sale; skip it only if the oversized heavy silhouette is what you're after.
