anyone been to one? apparently one is opening a few blocks from my house. do they just sell what's on the website, or do they have other stuff and pre-printed tees and the like?

just a bunch of plain clothes then?
- AlexLH0
plain but sweet. They have very nice cuts of shirts and sweatshirts.
Not to expensive either, check it out, there's not much to not like.

ugh i HATE the clothes!!!! i think they are cheap looking and too expensive for what tehy are. yeah the cuts are ok but the material is thin and too much $$ for what u get. i am not a fan

i need some t-shirts, but i can't wear a polo with more than 2 buttons.
- brandelec0
its true, the materials are really thin, almost see through if you get the white

i wouldnt say its cheap... but its definitely reasonable. and the stuff is quality for the most part.

it's the gap minus the sweatshop....i hope.
not a fan. boring.

Get a reseller license, and get the stuff for a fraction of the cost.
As for teh quality, I have a shirt I got from them 5 years ago, and it still looks good after tons of use. So the material is thin, but good quality.

it's the cut that makes the aa stuff. not for those of generous girth!
the gap discontinued the xs tees i used to buy in favor of fucking frosting-ass xxxl.
like whitenoise said- i went in with a couple friends and got a bunch of stuff wholesale. that's the way to go!

what are the wholesale prices like? You cant access on your site without reg'ing your companies TAX ID and whatnot. Im just curous, Ive heard its something like $3-$4 per shirt (standard guys) when bought in a case of 12. Is this true? If so thats crazy cheap.
I agree the downside seems to be sizing... they should really make a shirt thats geared towards bigger people, or people who just like to wear bigger shirts. The material, lightweight combed cotton, is really so much better than the other shirts out there... I really hate the stiff, heavy or think/weak stuff that FOTL, Hanes, Guildan etc. make.
The AA shirts may feel delicate and soft but the good side is, they are also durable and widthstand many washings... they are the type of shit that become the "favorite shirt" people keep for years.

nice stuff there
- meok0
AA fits great, but you can pretty much only wear them once. After you wash them, a L becomes a XS.

Maybe you cooked yours in a dryer?
