American Giant is an inspirational company and the “light bulb” moment that lead to the development of this blog.
If blatant plagiarism weren’t completely illegal we would have copied and pasted the entire “About Us” content of their website as the opening motivational piece to compel people to buy American. The goals of the company, the process of their product development, the USA based resources that they use (materials and labor) and the genuine love of this country that seems to exude from the website and the interview spots that have appeared on TV are enough to make us buy everything JUST from American Giant. Both men and women’s clothing are available and the product line keeps expanding.
THE DETAILS: The price point is reasonable when compared to a lot of imported, “designer clothing”. We understand that you can go to Walmart or Target and get a few if not several hoodies for $108, the current price tag of their iconic sweatshirt. However, if you value quality over quantity (nobody needs 8 hoodies) and like classic, casual, clothing that will last a lifetime YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!
For those of us that do not have the resources to spend $100+ on a sweatshirt. The company sells their 100% USA cotton T-shirts with bundled savings, provides a discount to veterans and has a first time buyer promotion. The product line keeps expanding with pants, sweaters, and outerwear and on and on and on. We are convinced that you can supplement your wardrobe with a little something from American Giant to kick start your commitment to buying Made in the USA.
The purchase that started it all: The Classic Full Zip Hoodie-great, rugged, heavy weight sweatshirt great for yard work, standing on the sideline at your kid’s soccer game, walking across campus on a crisp fall day, sitting around the campfire as the nights get colder and the days get shorter.
Under the guise of further research (someone has to do it) we have had the pleasure of participating in their T-shirt bundles (3-5 for a discounted price), have purchased the lower priced, French terry sweatshirt (a softer, lounge worthy sweatshirt) and a pair of their women’s cargo shorts from a couple of seasons ago (which have sadly been discontinued). We have been pleased as punch with every product!
We are excited to see the expansion of what they have to offer especially for women-leggings, jeans, dresses etc. etc.
AND IF THAT RAVE DID NOT MAKE YOU FALL IN LOVE…MAYBE THE FACT THAT THIS COMPANY SHUT DOWN PRODUCTION OF THEIR CLOTHING LINE TO PRODUCE MEDICAL MASKS IN WHAT WILL LIKELY BE THE BIGGEST HEALTH CRISIS SINCE THE 1918 FLU WILL CONVINCE YOU THAT YOU SHOULD RETHINK THE EXPENSIVE IMPORTED DESIGNER SWEATSHIRT OR THE CHEAP DEPARTMENT STORE SWEAT AND BUY.…AMERICAN MADE
Future thoughts after this health crisis has ebbed…Kid’s product line please??
