Alternative Apparel has really eclipsed them as the basic of choice.Originally Posted by LA Guy
Alt. Apparel is too short for tall people. Though perhaps that makes it the more sensible choice for the average person.

My limited experience with AltAp is of ridiculously massive neck openings that hang and slop.
I like my crew necks tight and high up.
They do have comfy materials though.

What's wrong with crew necks? They make great under shirtsOriginally Posted by 7_rocket

Won't your undershirt be showing then? I thought this was universally agreed-upon as a terrible look.

It helps with sweat. But wearing a crew neck plain white t shirt alone looks fine to me. I wear them in the summer all the time

A had 3 shifts working 24 hours a day, but ever since they got busted for mostly hiring illegals, they been struggling big time.
My dad knew people that worked there and the supervisors were taskmasters, because they knew they could get away with exploiting those kind of workers. And now they are losing money because they can't find the same kind of cheap labor. I remember my dad telling me a couple of months ago that AA was desperate for workers. Guess they really were ************.
The LA fashion district would die in a short amount of time if they lost their cheap labor.

Ever since they shut down ebay wholesalers by citing IP laws (apparently a plain t-shirt is AA intellectual property?) i've stopped buying their clothing entirely.
