I find it difficult to fit into the tees or the slacks in AA if you have a bit of muscle on you.

I personally love the Flex Fleece Hoodies. For $26 from a wholesale seller, they are fantastic for layering or just on their own on a brisk fall or spring day. Literally the most comfortable hoodie I've ever put on. Oh, and they fit awesome.

I love AA, but some stuff is sketchy quality, like my Taffeta windbreaker, the zipper pull broke off and when I bought it had loose threads, but its lasted quite a bit.

The top 3 AA wise:
Shirts
Hoodies
Underwear

I really like the fit of their pants, but they are pricey.

I don't like most of their stuff. The organic athletic tees are nice, though.

^H&M ones are cheaper and better quality.

Personally i like the H&M fit better, but the AA fit isn't bad, especially if you're an anorexic hipster (those days are long gone for me).

Anyone have experience with their jersey cardigans? I'm sort of a long sleeve shirt / cardigan sweater junkie, even in the summer. I'm always on the lookout for thin cardigans that I can wear in 80+ degree weather. Just curious about the quality and if they're as basic looking in real life as they look on their website.

I've only trusted them for t-shirts and thermals. Everything else I've seen is kinda corny / kid-ish / hipster looking. I want just a normal cardigan like you would find from Polo / J. Crew et al, only made out of a thin cotton. I don't want to look like a cast member of Footloose.

I have their thermal henleys and my friend has their thermal tees (long sleeve) and they are pretty good. They hold up well and are slim fitting.

Bought a pair of their cords and I'll have to say that I'm not really a fan of the fit, but it could work for some people. I like their hoodies. Cheap (from eBay wholesalers), comfy, warm, and you can get them in a lot of different colors.

I am interested in the oxford button-up that they started offering. Anybody have any experience on the quality and fit?

I'm not a big fan of the long sleeve tee's but aside from their basic tee's, the flex fleece hoodies are great
