Good question. I own a large and medium of both brands. Each has it's positives and negatives. For the price, Todd wins. However, The AB shirt has longer tails,which are better for me.The AB cloth really wrinkles up nice too.
Todd's fit is also quite good , just a bit shorter(which is SA after all) I frequently find myself hiking up my pants, just like Indy!
One other thing,I had to restitch a few of the buttons on my AB. They got very loose.Not a real defect,just something I had to attend to. I was afraid I'd lose one. Some here have pointed out previously the AB shoulder epaulets don't line up right on the shoulder, more to the front.Todd's are right on top.
Sizing I'd say a Todd's large = an AB medium
Really though, I like them both!

Interesting what people think... AB is edging it at the moment.

I own both and have positives and negatives for both. While the shorter Todd's is more SA, I find it a bit annoying how easily it come untucked, so I lean toward the AB for practicality. On the durability side, I've lost two buttons off of my AB shirt and a third is about to go. I've been waiting months for Marc to send me some replacement buttons, but so far nothing yet. I'm leaning to the AB for color, too, but that is subjective.

The preorder price was 55 euros, I think it's around 60-70 euros ATM (80 bucks).
