Saw their huge billboard somewhere in Dublin. Went to the store and walked out once saw the price tag on a basic t-shirt. Highly ooverpriced...

I really didn't care if the boss was a pervert/etc, they made nice quality fabrics and that all I cared about,American Apparel is dead,
Long live the Sweatshop

Why is everyone high on their quality? Last time i checked all of their shit shrunk / faded after 1 wash and had at least 1 thread coming loose from an important seem. It was / is fucking piss poor quality garments.

Sheesh, it's not like they are the last clothing company in the U.S. or something. They were like a young upstart company.
- It's is one of the last that still make fabric in the US

It's just cotton, average quality at best.
All my AA t-shirts from Threadless were either plain crap or so-so quality. Some of them looked like they had a long season of wear after just one wash.
I had cheap Penneys (Primark) or Zara tees which were better quality and lasted me longer than AA. Mind you, Zara isn't exactly known for good fabric.

Wow, that's surprising.
I for one will miss the soft porn ad campaigns.

although they are crap quality, the cut of the AA t-shirts is nice. everything else is cut for your typical fat ass american. where is one to get a t-shirt not made for a manatee?

maybe if they made shirts that were true to size they would have stayed in business... An XL should not be that tight!

Well it's easy to make fun of them for catering to hipsters, but let's face it that's the way a lot of people still dress.
Probably more that they made some dumb business decisions like opening too many locations, I mean there are 2, maybe 3 American Apparel stores within walking distance of my apartment.
- the funny thing is in NY only foreign tourists buy there and Abercrombie...robotron3k
- Yeah? What's with Abercrombie? My inlaws from Japan spent a grand there...TheBlueOne
- I don't get it...but then again NYers flock to Uniqlo, which is like Old Navy in JapanTheBlueOne

so quite possibly there will be fewer cases of young "model's" being taken advantage of behind the scenes by the ceo? i'm ok with that.
