I can't comment on on Alternative Apparel's thermals, but I went to American Apparel a couple of days ago to look at theirs and was disappointed. The fabric is very, very thin; I don't see how it could possibly keep you warm at all. The cut is probably slimmer than most outdoors brands, but I can't really justify $20 for the cut alone.

No experience with the Alt App thermals. The American Apparel version isn't that slim, IME, and like many thermals it's got a lot of give--if you're layering under close-fitting tshirts, I might actually advise sizing down. Nice long arms, though.
My favorite thermal right now (out of maybe 5, nothing special thermals) is actually from Urban Outfitters. I think it's this one. Tight weave with a little elastic, solid-feeling cuffs (avoid their "winterlite", which looks OK but is kind of delicate and cut oddly). I know there are higher quality thermals out there, with tech-y or woolen fabrics, but I don't have a lot of need for that.
