I gotta say American Giant gear is pretty great. I am a big made in America fan and when I first heard about them I bought one of their half zip sweatshirts. Order number 212 or so. Came with a signed thank you card from the CEO. The quality is excellent and the look is classic with a great fit. I actually just received my Black Friday order yesterday, the day that Slate article came out. They were out of one of the colors I ordered and I got a hand written note from one of their customer service people. Great stuff, great customer service, great story. Go get some of their gear.
