Which should you buy?
Buy The Row at $990 if you want the softer cashmere-blend knit, hand-finished construction, and a logo-free look, and save $60 doing it. Pay the extra $60 for Dolce & Gabbana only if the bold logo-plaque and overt Italian-house branding are the appeal. The Row is the more craft-led, understated build; D&G is the louder statement piece. Let your taste for visible logos make the call, because the money difference is minor.
