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?

From those threads, the versions split mainly on three points: - ✔/✖ blank weight - ✔/✖ collar thickness - ✔/✖ print alignment and size of the triangle ---

And 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 | | Print | solid; slightly small | off-centre, misaligned | [[PHOTO: Tri-Ferg hoodie on a flat lay with a ruler from collar seam to the top of the triangle print]] **QC requests for any geometric-logo hoodie:** - ✔ front flat lay with a ruler (print size and placement) - ✔ collar close-up - ✔ weight **Caveat:** these are older versions. The comparison method still works; the versions themselves belong to that period. ---

Method over names. Marking it, thanks.
