Levi's New York Graphic Crewneck Sweatshirt vs New York City Vintage Stamp Sweatshirt

Buy the Levi's if you want a real branded crewneck with a known fit and a plain, wearable look. Buy the Gildan stamp sweatshirt if you want a bold NYC graphic and a loose, oversized fit. The Levi's is a standard regular-fit cotton crew; the Gildan is a 50/50 cotton-poly blend with a medium-heavy 8 oz fabric and a looser cut. Owners of the Gildan describe it as cute and good quality; the Levi's is the safer, more durable everyday pick.

• Choose the Levi's New York Graphic Crewneck if you want a regular-fit, mostly cotton sweatshirt from an established brand that works as an everyday layer.
• Choose the New York City Vintage Stamp Crewneck if you want a graphic NYC design in a loose, oversized fit and don't mind a cotton-poly blend.
