Target's $25 Goodfellow is a heavier ~9oz fleece with a clean everyday cut; the $30 Old Navy Vintage is a lighter ~7oz garment-washed pullover with a relaxed, broken-in feel. The extra $5 buys softness and a vintage hand, not more fabric or longer life.

Which should you buy?
The Target is the more substantial hoodie and the cheaper one, so it's the default pick for everyday wear that looks tidy. Pay the extra $5 for the Old Navy only if you want that pre-softened, relaxed loungewear feel from day one, and try to catch it on one of its frequent sales. Both thin and fade within a year, so neither is a keeper. For weight and value, take the Goodfellow; for couch-soft comfort, the Old Navy.
