VerdictThe pick
Same $295, opposite priorities. Buy the Vince if you care most about fiber and feel, since the cashmere hand and easy drape are the draw and it wears true to size. Choose the Sandro if you want the Parisian, design-forward look and don't mind sizing up for its slim cut. Note that on wool alone the Sandro is matchable for less, so it's best caught on sale; the Vince's cashmere pills early, so neither is a buy-and-forget piece.
