An older streetwear staple: the Tri-Ferg hoodie. The rep comparisons from back then are a good example of comparing versions by construction rather than by name. What separated them?
Related threads: the thread on Off-White diagonal arrows hoodies, Chrome Hearts hoodies and the thread on Tour merch reps.
From those threads, the versions split mainly on three points:
/
blank weight/ collar thickness/ print alignment and size of the triangleAnd who won? Which one did people pick? 
The most recommended version back then was praised for heavy, good-quality fabric and a solid logo. One flag: the logo slightly small.
The version that was advised against for hoodies: blanks too thin, thin collar, Tri-Ferg print off-centre or misaligned.
The collar is a good indicator of tier: a thick rib with double topstitching keeps its shape; a thin one warps after a few washes. We saw it in the tee tier thread too.
And the logo itself is geometric, which makes misalignment obvious. A triangle that’s slightly rotated reads wrong immediately, in a way a script logo wouldn’t.
So the comparison logic is basically the same as our tee tier thread?
Pretty much. How I’d test it: blank against the light, collar between two fingers, and a ruler from collar seam to the top of the triangle.
Comparison table from the old reports:
| Point | Recommended version | Advised-against version |
|---|---|---|
| Blank | heavy, good quality | too thin |
| Collar | solid | thin |
| solid; slightly small | off-centre, misaligned |

Method over names. Marking it, thanks.
