Not a fan. Most of the clothes I have from American Apparel, the stitching started unraveling within 3 months.
However, I haven't bought anything from them in well over a year because of that, so maybe their standards have changed since they got bought.
That, and their "one size fits all" size for women is the same as a small or an extra-small at most other retailers. As a secret fat chick, I"m offended by that.
oh, and american apparel is nice, i guess. i'm not to crazy about the whole "wholesale pack of 35 or product x" being the same price as "1 product x" thing. i may as well buy a whole pack and never run out of hoodies.

i like their t-shirts; they fit just right. if i see a shirt that i like, and find out that it's printed on an AA tee, i'm much more likely to go ahead and buy it at that point. they certainly aren't the best quality shirts that i've worn, but i like that broken-in feeling that they have from day one.
i wouldn't really bother buying any of their other clothes, though; not for me. and some of their stuff for girls is cute, but the sizing is kind of ridiculous, it seems.

I really do love that underwear, though. I'm tempted to buy more, along with some more thigh-high socks. Those are good stuff.
Yes. I agree with this. Please more with the thigh-high socks.
those thigh high socks are the best things ever. i didnt think they were still making them!
while AA is kind of a creepy company, i do have a boner for their shirts (i wish i could wear their dresses and skirts, but for the most part theyre made for coked out scenesters with no hips.)
While I'd love to buy some of their shirts and whatnot since I'm all for the sweatshop free 70's porn vibe of the company, until they decide to admit that people that are fatter than the average cokewhore or hipster fashion model exist, I'm kinda screwed.
y'know, one of the reasons i love AA clothing is because it all fits so skinny. i've had the exact opposite problem to most people since i moved to the states -- everything here is way, way too big around for me. the fact that Threadless Select shirts are still printed on AA is a freakin' blessing from on high.
