Reply to comment by ElijahLynn in Which of the international clothing brands have durable quality? by _SlowRain_

Their 50/50? I love those. They're the only large that fits me without being baggy or long. The medium size makes a good undershirt for me too.

Yes, I think it is the 50/50. I didn't know that t-shirts could be made that well. Like WTF?

American Apparel used to be ok when it was made in America. I bought some stuff from them a couple of years ago and the quality was way down. I used to work for them around 2010 and I still have a lot of the free clothes I got as uniform. I have two of the 50/25/25 T-shirts that I have worn religiously every day for 10 years as pyjama tops and they are still holding up. I have a hoodie jacket from the same time still going strong. The hoodies that I bought recently pilled up horribly on the first wash. I was very sad to see the way they have gone but I guess we can blame that on creepy Dov - had to speak to him every week on the European conf call and I always hated him.

It was the only clothing company I didn’t feel guilt about working for.

The CEO was forced to leave around 10 years ago. Since then the quality has gone downhill. The old CEO now runs Los Angeles Appearal. Those are still union made in America.
