About American Giant

Since 2011, American Giant has been making timeless, everyday apparel designed to be worn often and built to last. We focus on exceptional materials, thoughtful design, and durable construction to create clothing that feels substantial, performs beautifully, and gets better with wear. Our first product, the Classic Full Zip, was called “The Greatest Hoodie Ever Made”—and more than a decade later, it continues to embody the quality and durability we bring to everything we make.

That same commitment to quality guides where and how we make our clothes. By manufacturing in the United States, we work closely with skilled craftspeople and partners who share our standards while supporting the communities where our products are made. Keeping production close to home gives us a deeper connection to the people and processes behind every American Giant product.
