Nothing. They have good, but slightly-overpriced-for-their quality basics, great ads, though all their models are personally raped by the founder

everything probably

>>8616970
It's American.

The only saving grace of the clothing, their "high quality", went out the window. it was ill-sewn mishapen stiff cotton shit that develops holes after 3 washes back in 2010 when everyone stopped buying their shit, and it can't have gotten better since then

>>8616970
dov charney sucked the lifeblood out of that company like a fucking parasite. hopefully they can get their shit together since he's gone.

>>8616970
They're still in production and haven't gone under, nothing 'went wrong' it just depends on whether you like the company or not.

I own one product from them and it's okay for the price, but they're nothing amazing.

>>8616970
>What went wrong?

the CEO raped a bunch of people

I honestly find American Apparel disgusting.

>well branded basic as fuck clothing
I don't think anything went wrong exactly
Or did their quality drop or something

I honestly find clothing brands disgusting

>>8617016
This must reign true because I have an Oxford from them I bought 2007ish? which is still in great condition, and I bought one nine months ago that three buttons have already fallen off of, and it shrank like a mother fucker after the first wash. I also no matter how much I steam or iron it, can't get it unwrinkled.

'same' shirt.

>>8617010
Being paid to provide provocative photographs of yourself is not rape. no matter how much you may want it to be.

Which is there best pullover hoodie /fa/?

They have so many choices and I am a complete retard when It comes to /fa/

Do any of you have any personal experiences with their sweaters? Are they too boxy or uncomfortable?

Please respond

> dov charney, founder

it was fucked from the beginning

it markets its overpriced no-name clothes by pushing porno ads onto stupid teenage girls

the slut walk movements were invented to so that companies like AA could continue selling their products and not change its marketing style

Fit on their tees is shit.

>>8617197
If you're a manlet I could see this. American Apparel is for tall strong American men

Mods/doop why are you lurking this thread
and if you're gonna be this vigilant from now on, please don't take a day to respond to faggots like pf from now on

You know the easiest way to reach mods is to use the report tool :)

So whats the current status on their stuff?

I dont know aobut their 'good ol days', but the few things from them that i do have (a few 2011? T-shirts) are neither very good, nor very bad. Its just basic stuff, with an added premium because of their brand.

I tried a few times to get more from them (i.e. Oh, theres an AA store, lets walk in and see what they have) but all their cuts were so wierd that I didnt buy anything, since it looked like shit on me.

so from a theoretical standpoint, I think one could add some of their pieces to a nice wardrobe, but from a practical standpoint i cant say shit, since i neither do know their quality, nor actually have tried any fit, because of lack of fit.

>>8617232
You, see

>for tall strong American men
Assuming you are sarcastic, and tall and strong actually stands for burgerbeast and landwale, your are probably right.

Unfortunately, this also applies to about 99% of "normal fashion".

I am not even a /fa/ skeleton, but i still have shit in S thats totally oversized for me. And even outdoor/athletic shit - which by definition should be cut for fit people - is cut in such a way that i could eat a fucking pigpens worth of meat and still had pleace left over in which i could fit another me.

Fucking fatasses ruining sizing.

>>8617230
Pigfuck.

>>8617259
No, Pigfuck stuff is banned as soon as anyone reports it.

>>8617239
That sounds like a description of any 'normal' dress shirt ever, no matter if $10 or $100. Of course that sucks, but its also unfortunately nothing special.

>>8617258
If the Small didn't fit you did you try the x-small? Or even the xx-small? You're making excuses and I don't even know why. I'm 6'6 and slim and they are the only shirts that I can find that fit properly in both length and sleeves.

>>8617230
>>8617263
Yeah, usually it's really quick but the last couple days it took a couple hours; not complaining since he was using a dynamic IP and I doubt there are too many Australian mods.
But thankyou :)

Does only mootykins reach down from his throne to hand out auto/permabans these days? I once remember someone wading deep into the quagmire to ban Jim Profit, long ago ( yeah that's how old and how much of a faggot I am) and I remember even cooltop copped an autoban at one stage around here
just surprising is all

also: thank-you to any mods reading this for making this board a better place, free from shitposters if not fuccbois :)

>>8617271
>6'6
So thats like 2 meters in real units?
I am 1.8m, and thats roughly an average size for a male, thus I should have an average aka medium size.
And its not just the S-M-L sizes. In jeans I used to have 32-34. And as far as I am informed, thats not an arbitrary measure like "medium", but an actual length in inches.

currently I am a 30-32, and they feel baggy, and i did not shrink and i did not loose weight during the last few years. Its all fucked.

>>8617290
Believe me when I say the best thing any of you can do is use the report tool. Mods/janis can't be in every thread all of the time. WAWYT generally get the most spam, trolling, and reports but you have to remember people are allowed to argue here.
Yes there are some instabans on some names, and yes Jim Profit was a dingus. I've been lurking this board since Moot put it up.

American apparel in L.A. was employing a lot of illegals till they got raided they don't have a good workforce anymore

>>8617290
Oh and this is all off topic so I'm going to just delete it.

>>8617197

Sizing is for women, you retards.

It's not unisex. Women buy all the clothing, why would they bother to make clothes fit well for men?

And why would anyone want to buy unisex clothes?

>>8617310
> we're sweatshop free because our sweatshops are in murrica!

>>8617320
Yeah okay, WE are retarded because you're too incompetent to size yourself up.

>>8617332
No, they design their clothes to fit well on human beings with breasts and then they say "lol its unisex, guys can waste $70 on every item too!"

I'm sorry you got scammed.

>>8617359
Oh okay, I got scammed when I mentioned their shirts fit my slender tall frame perfectly. Like I said you don't have the right body type for fashion in general if you can't fit into a simple oxford.

>>8617376
> hurr if you dont buy from AA youre a fatass

I stopped shopping there circa 08. Uniqlo does AA better.

>>8617404
That's not at all what I said, I was simply stating you didn't know what you were talking about. You're calling yourself fat, not me. Uniqlo's shirts aren't as long as they are at AA so I can imagine why you like it better. I'm sorry you went on the defensive this whole time, truthfully I don't care how you look or how you dress.

>>8617424
Lurk more. It's a well-known fact that AA sizing is targeted for women.

>>8617429
It's easy to say something without backing it up. I'm not sure how many women are as tall as me, but I can't imagine my girlfriend wearing my shirt and looking like it was meant for her.

they got too big too fast

> lurk moar
> "I dun wanna"

I've had a Backpack from AA for like 10 years now, and a lot of their oxfords still to this day.

>>8617453
Haha what a childish response. The fact of the matter is without proof you can say anything.

Check this out, lurk more because all Anon are actually just 2 people, you and me taking on the identities of thousands.

>>8617453
Whatsamatta' couldn't provide the evidence anon?

is there based in europe brand that also sells same basic stuff at the same price range?

stop bumping this thread and shilling your garbage shirts

"It's really perfect sizing for twinks like me, honest!"

cool

I think they're about right. 6'3 and the t-shirts are a tad too short for me (size large). However, it's clearly not for strong men as the dimensions aren't meant for broad shoulders.
