American Apparel Men's Unisex Flex Fleece Zip Hoodie

This hoodie is really 2 different hoodies and Amazon should make that more clear because the quality and fit are way different between the two. If you search the American Apparel website: 1) One is the f497, which is made in the U.S. and 2) the other is the f497w, which is imported. I bought two medium hoodies. A blue f497 made in America that I got from Nayked Apparel. It fits true to size (maybe even a bit small) and I gave that one 4 stars. I also got a red imported f497w from Basic & Co. This one was okay but the size seemed to be one larger than it said. So a medium fit more like a large. It was very baggy. I gave that one 2 stars and returned it. Unfortunately it doesnt say which one youre getting when you order, which is probably why the reviews are so mixed. Hopefully you get the American made one if you order.

Im thrilled!! Unexpected 2 day shipping and a perfect fit, love it. Im 5 foot 4 and 115 pounds, normally a size 2/4 or small shirt in womens clothing. I got an extra small because I like a tight fit. The sleeves are long enough to pull over my hands if I want, but it doesnt look at all unnatural to wear it at wrist length :) the hood is snug on the crown of the head but nice and wide on either side of the neck - perfect hood in my opinion. For $30 shipped in 2 days I cant find a better sweater

This is my second AA hoodie. The first one I got in an actual store and this one I got on Amazon with a gift card. These are basically half off in price so I couldnt resist, since I love these hoodies so much. I see other reviews stating disappointment in authenticity but I received a real AA hoodie in the color Truffle. When I received it in the mail, it came in the original plastic packaging, never opened or tampered. Im 53" and 107 lbs and wear a size XS. It fits perfectly all over. Sleeve length, bottom length and width, all of it. Ive ranged between 105 and 115 lbs and the XS fit me at any of these weights. Now, in terms of the product itself, heres why I prefer this one over others. Places like H&M sell similar looking hoodies with the white zipper and plain design, but the fit and feel of the material is different. I own one from H&M and its quite snug and less warm and fuzzy. They are cheaper though, which is why youre paying more for the quality of AA ones. I love wearing flannels and have no problem layering a flannel under the AA hoodie without it feeling too tight or awkward, and the hoodie isnt baggy without any long sleeve underneath. They have the arm width just right. The one from H&M, however, is too snug to wear anything under, but going up a size is too baggy. These hoodies last a long time and stay very warm. Theres a fuzzy warmth to them that I dont really get from ordinary hoodies. I dont find that they pill too much after washes and wears, but its unrealistic to say that they dont pill at all. I have tiny baby wrists and the wrists fit just fine and the sleeves dont go past my wrists to my hand. I can wear this hoodie zipped up or unzipped. I will continue getting more colors because I live in hoodies and these are just so comfortable.
