american apparel

An American Based clothing manufacturer that is unfortunately popular with the modern hipster community.

American Apparel t-shirts are noticeable better quality and fit than $4 Wal*Mart shirts in addition to producing excellent screen printing results. They are under fire from people that have never felt how soft and light an American Apparel shirt is and people that do not know how a t-shirt should properly fit. Their t-shirts are worth the price you pay; frugal individuals can find AA t-shirts for under $10.
American Apparel shirts are soft and light, not cheap and rough like Wal*Mart, Hanes or Gildan t-shirts shirts.

The new uniform for suburban girls ranging from thirteen to twenty-five. Once belonging to hipsters and those of artist origin, it is now (due to its expansion) worn by sluts, nerds, jocks, and hipster-wannabes all over high school grounds. Ugg boots, black lululemon pants, and brightly colourd american apparel hoodies are the new uniform for all public school students, who slowly decend on the indie scene ready to get their sticky mainstream fingers all over anything which can be salvaged. When all is said and done, if you think you were the "first one to where american apparel in your school" then... you weren't. There was some kid hanging out, behind the oak tree off school grounds smoking a cigarette and talking about the last show he/she went to, who was.

Rich Girl Two

American Apparel is a clothing store which hipsters were once infatuated with. The store was deemed as progressive and unique. However, unfortunately, American Apparel has become too mainstream for hipsters. Any true hipster will now tell you that American Apparel is a clothing store that any junior high student subscribes to. Putting the hipster culture aside for a moment, their clothes are usually low quality, but fit better than other brands.
Hipster - "Hey, dude is that an American Apparel T - shirt"?

Non hipster - "Yeah it's the 401 shirt, organic too!"

Hispter - "Wow, American Apparel, that shit is weak, last week!" "Now lets go drink some fermented semen....
