mcm1610 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 The 3 or so AA shirts I've got from bands do fit quite well, but I'd never intentionally buy one, mostly for cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motorbike Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 http://www.bella.com/fits/styles are practically identical. but without quite as much stupid hipster/fashion retarded-ness. Not to mention, their Canvas line for men, fits like real clothes. Not like only for thin people clothes. wow, talk about overpriced t-shirts.

destroyingthescene Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 My favourite band shirts are printed on AA shirts, they're super comfy and fit well. I too look forward to snatching up some clearance clothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirbypuckett Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Do you mean Urban Outfitters? I know they're headquartered in PA, though I don't know where. yes, urban outfitters. they are based in Pittsburgh now I think you're thinking of American Eagle.

I don't focus on ads too much, but these models look similar to AA ones as far as I can tell. Maybe not as diverse since they don't have a huge variety. Also these shirts are even more expensive than AA! $22 for a tri-blend shirt! They're $18 at American Apparel, which is crazy, but $20+ is absurd.

Not like only for thin people clothes. wow, talk about overpriced t-shirts. Oh, well yeah, they are too. But my work gets them super cheap. I never really worry about prices of t-shirts, because we get them so cheap. In fact, if anybody wants me to order them some canvas stuff that I can get my hands on, PM me and I'll get it for you cheap. Like $7 including shipping cheap.

They're $18 at American Apparel, which is crazy, but $20+ is absurd. yeah, i personally wouldn't buy them (due to price), but i was just offering them up as an alternative to the people who were complaining about no other shirts being as good/fitting them as well. do you have a gabriel brothers store in pittsburgh? cuz it's pretty much the greatest thing ever. i mention this because on occasion they have urban outfitters and american apparel stuff there for $2 or $3.

booyahachieved Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I'm not gonna lie... I own an absurd amount of AA clothing (probably in excess of 30 pieces; t-shirts, polos and hoodies). They're super comfortable and fit well. However, I've never once stood foot in any of their stores. I bought them all off of eBay for a fraction of what they charge. I did a report on this company a year or so ago for a business class I was taking... it definitely looked like they were headed towards the dumpster back then. Ever since the stock market took a tumble their stock price just bottomed out and that police raid over illegal workers was essentially the nail in the coffin for Dov. I may need to jump on eBay and make some last minute purchases before they go under... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kittenmittons Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 My best fitting shirts are from AA. And I like their zip hoodies. there's an aa right down the street from me. i shall rape the clearance. my zippered hoodie from them is the best fitting hoodie i've ever had. it's super long and soft. also every band shirt i have on aa is WAY more comfy than any other brand. fuck their adverts though. shits gross/tacky.

xlovecolouredx Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 i hope they reduce wholesale price for band who will use blank tee shirt for make band merch. band tee shirt in american apparel garment is expensive for me.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcm1610 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Wandering around Chicago last weekend I saw two different AA stores. That city is hipster as fuck, so it made sense to me. I buy my t-shirts at the craft store (Michael's, etc.) for about $3 each. Yea, they're probably made overseas in sweatshops, but I will never pay $18 for a blank t shirt.

thesupervillain Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 We have no less than 8 American Apparel stores in Toronto... *sigh* Five of them are within a 15 minute walk of each other. That seems a little excessive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems a little excessive. Let me guess -- Queen St West between Yonge and Bathurst...maybe Christie. Probably Yonge up to Dundas or Bloor. **Oops -- didn't see the link. But I wasn't off by much! Hehe. At the Christie subway station, I printed out placards that said "Front" and "Drive" and put them on the station walls. This was probably 1997 or 1998. I have a picture somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
