American Apparel Hoodies - Fit and Sizing

[chronoaug]

There is no exact amount. I'd expect very little to 1/2 size. I have a tee that shrank a good amount and another that didn't shrink much at all.

Flex fleece hoodie fits the slimmest out of those without being tight. I have one and prefer it to the normal fleece hoodie as it's more comfortable and fits better. The thermal lined one is obviously warmer, but doesn't fit all that slim. At least compared to the others. It fits really bad on me since i'm between small and medium but i've seen it look good on others.

Damn...they said the thermal lined one was more fitted. Almost got me there ><!
Being in south California I doubt I'd need the thermal lining. Now if only the flex fleece was available through chim...

It might be. Chim can get anything on the AA wholesale list as i've asked (and am going to get a pair of the green nylon pants soon). Check the AA website wholesale section and look what's offered. I'm pretty sure the flex fleece is.

I love the Fleece Flex Hoodie. Wonderful material, stretchy, and very comfy.

I'm 6'1, 160 lbs. I'm always inbetween on sizes because a lot of times I need the length, but I normally go Medium. The only hoodie I wouldn't reccomend going Medium on (and sizing up) is the really light zip-up one, which unfortunately the name escapes me...
