I have an Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra shirt that was printed on an American Apparrel shirt (i'm assuming they printed them too). The shirt is so soft. So soft. A little on the smaller side.

It pisses me off that they preach about locally produced product when they don't manufacture any of it in the UK.

aa shirts are ok, kinda form fitting, so if ya skinny dont rock em.

i hate aa shirts too i think the quality is shit and theyre expensive for what they are - i have no i dea what all the hype is about

I agree - they're too small, shrink a ton, and always dried super wrinkly for me. Their sweatshorts are great though.
- arthur0
uh... I mean "sweatshirts"

for small people like me, I like it when I find something that actually fits.
The hype is obviously around the anti-sweatshop stuff. Although some of my friends order tshirts from there and really like them.

I stopped in their new store in SF this weekend, it was cool. I do really like how the company is run, great ideas.

i love the vibe, and can second that the stores in SF are beautiful. great to see a company investing in both american labor and design.

i personally dig aa... great ideals, clean simple design, and comfortable shirts. for a skinny guy like me, their fitted t's are perfect... and the material is soooo soft!

i like aa's ideas, concept and approach but their stuff is just way too expensive imo.
one exception though with regard with their selfbranding, i've seen some cheap ads from aa, i think it was in vice magazine, showing topless girls who are supposedly working at aa. that's so low. i mean they're like anti-sweatshop but it's ok to exploit girls? kind of hypocrite.

I'm a little put off by their insane owners.
I've read all sorts of really disturbing things about him . . .
Anyway, the stuff I've gotten recently has been poor quality - 2 things fell apart in a few days.
However, they were through my friend who is registered as a distributor - so they might be 'reject' shirts since he ordered them as singles.
- rabattski0
? sending rejects no matter to whom is a very bad idea anyways. especially if it's a distributor. weirdos.

I think they're having a little trouble with the 'American' bit in the UK. I saw an ad recently that was like 'were not all American here, see here's XXX, they're an ethnic minority!'
They're putting nudey man ads in gay mags too.
