American Apparel uses 100% combed ring-spun cotton in their garments. This material is known for being smooth, soft and having a high resistance to pilling. They also use tri-blends (polyester/cotton/rayon) for a look and feel that is lightweight and offers a vintage look and feel, while cotton/polyester blends help make the tees more durable, reduce shrinkage and add wrinkle-resistance. Some of their clothes use organic cotton, recycled polyester and some specialty fabrics like modal to improve drape, or cotton-spandex blends for that bit of stretch and to maintain shape.

When it comes to construction they're all about getting the details right. American Apparel cut fabrics on automated machines to make sure the cuts fit the design properly, and then double-stitch the seams and reinforce high-stress areas to make them last longer. Flatlock and overlock stitching gives the fabric a bit more flexibility, and they also utilize features like taped necklines and ribbed collars to help keep everything in place. Most styles are pre-shrunk, with final quality control checks to ensure the sizing and finish are spot on.

American Apparel meets the needs of two very different groups of customers, both individual buyers and businesses that need blank t-shirts for branding purposes. With designs that avoid overt branding, and a quality of construction that's always consistent, you can tell they've made an effort here. It fits right in with places like retail shops, creative agencies and workplaces that want their uniforms to match their company vibe.

This brand is widely used for custom t-shirts, and with its soft cotton fabrics that are nice and smooth, even the most complicated designs look amazing on American Apparel. People rely on this brand because it offers building a simple wardrobe with a few versatile basics you can just throw on to go to work or out and about. The fact that they also maintain responsible production practices makes them a winner in the eyes of value-driven consumers and creatives.

American Apparel puts focus on a core range of styles like t-shirts, hoodies and henleys. Their clothes are built with a keen eye on what looks right in stores and are perfectly ready to add graphics to. These types of styles are used all the time for custom work, merchandising and casual everyday wear because they are just consistently well made and present well.

Some of their most frequently bought clothes are:

• 1301 Heavyweight Cotton Tee Shirt: This is a 6.0 oz 100% cotton tee with a boxy 90s fit and seamless tubular body - a style that has become popular in high-end screen printing and streetwear styles lately.
• 2001CVC Cotton-Poly Tee Shirt: It's a lightweight 4.3 oz blend tee that still has a great feel to it despite being pretty durable. The side-seamed, slim fit is always in style and the printing surface comes out looking really smooth and crisp.
• 1301GD Garment-Dyed Tee Shirt: We've also got this really nice 6.0 oz tee with a garment-dyed finish that gives it that lived-in look and the colors always come out soft and subtle - it still has that same boxy fit as the 1301 but is going to be softer on the skin and resist shrinkage.
• RF498 Fleece Pullover Hoodie: This is a 7.6 oz midweight hoodie made with recycled polyester and cotton and it’s designed to be easy to decorate with no annoying drawcords getting in the way and a smooth cotton face up top.
• F497 Full-Zip Hoodie: An 8.25 oz heavy fleece hoodie with a relaxed fit and durable metal zip - it also features a brushed interior to keep you warm and a clean cotton face for printing.

American Apparel has a diverse range of shades, tones and colors to experiment with, including core neutrals, garment-dyed tones, and fashion colors, colors remain consistent across unisex, men’s, and women’s fits, and most of the core styles are available from 2XS to 5XL.
