American Giant makes its case on construction and where it makes clothes. The Men's Pocket Tee costs $55 and is a heavyweight 100% cotton jersey at 6.2 oz per square yard, with a front pocket and an elastic neck that American Giant says holds its shape; the product page lists it as made in Los Angeles, CA. The company says it makes its products in the USA to control quality, service and footprint, and its first item was the Classic Full Zip hoodie. Sizes run from S to 3X. Shipping is the weak spot: standard shipping is free only on US orders of $150+ and takes 5 to 10 business days after 1 to 2 days of processing, while expedited costs $15. Returns are accepted within 30 days on unworn, unwashed items; they are free at Happy Returns Return Bars and American Giant stores, and mailed returns cost $7.00.
