Splurge vs. Steal: Fleece Hoodie

May 4th, 2007 Posted in Splurge vs. Steal

Mike & Chris Bailey Hoodie

I know a lot of you are fans of Mike & Chris’ Bailey Bubble Hoodie, as I am. So imagine my surprise when I discovered a passable copycat of this hoodie with a retail price of $302 and was sold out as soon as it came out last year. Heck, there were only five of them at the Mike & Chris sample sale last week and I was so bummed that I didn’t get one. They are even hard to find on eBay.

So any guesses as to who’s coming out with the copycat version? No, it’s not Forever 21.

Check it out after the jump.

Old Navy Hoodie

It’s Old Navy! But before you run out the door looking for one, be forewarned that this is for fall so it won’t be in stores until a few more months.

Mike & Chris Bailey

I still love the original though. Old Navy’s version doesn’t have the bubble shape that makes the Mike & Chris version unique and oh so covetable.

So what do you think? Will you buy Old Navy’s version?

      shopdiary – Can you make your own in lighter fabrics? :-)

      hell yes! Probably something I’ll toss on with jeans and a t-shirt to do weekend errands in the fall; it’ll make me look slightly more put-together than a hoodie. I especially love the bracelet sleeves.

      OMG, I will get it!! I hope that given Old Navy’s prices, the workmanship won’t be too shoddy …

      It doesn’t look as fab, but its still leaves the same impression…I’ll buy it


    5. shopdiary Says:

      Ugh. How crazy is this? The Bailey hoodie that I was eyeing on eBay went for a whopping $330 + $15 shipping. I guess I’ll just buy Old Navy’s version. :-(
