After my first post on Made In USA, a reader sent an email to point me at a local company (local meaning with a shop in San Francisco) making hoodies, vest, and other nice apparel for the same price as the Gap.
So I ordered one of their hoodies and I was again pleasantly surprised by the quality, the feel and the softness of the garment. The company is American Giant and has factory in South San Francisco and in North Carolina.
The heavy weight hoodie (for men, medium)
There is a level of attention to details that is quite nice, especially for $90 hoodie. The zippers are metal zippers, not the cheap plastic ones.
Details on the zipper (metal one, not plastic)
There is a metal loop where the string for the hoodie goes.
Metal ring for the hoodie. Nice touch.
And a very discreet logo.
A tiny logo on the lower left of the hoodie. It’s discret.
