I haven't handled the light gray version, but I don't believe it has the texture of the one in the 2nd picture. The one in the 2nd picture is also really thick fabric, not sure if the light gray one is the same way (I assume he's talking about the light gray version that was carried by OC?)
There's a big difference between wearing a comfy marled grey sweatshirt with chinos and wearing an aggressive asymmetrical silver-zippered black hoodie with chinos, IMO.
