Which should you buy?
The $12 gap mostly buys Kith's heavier fabric and label cachet, not better construction. Buy Todd Snyder if you want a trim, refined zip-up for clean casual outfits and don't care about streetwear branding. Pay up for Kith if you want the denser heavyweight hand and the label matters to you. For a plain premium zip-up, Todd Snyder is the smarter spend.
