the quality is not very good, and the shrinkage after each wash is crazy...

ttara123 is definitely right about AA stuff running really small.  I haven't had too much trouble with shrink.

I love their tri-blend deep-V shirts. I've had no problems washing and drying them. They run about tts since they're unisex, but from what I've seen at the store, the rest of the clothes run small.

edit: sizing runs on the small side, and quality varies so much between specific items.  you can find their stuff cheaper on ebay via wholesalers.

Really small! And everything shrinks when you wash it. Don't waist your money.

Guess I'll be the lone dissenter, lol, but I love AA! I'm practically addicted at this point smile.gif

For sizing, I'd say their size chart is pretty good. I have to order all my stuff from them online as I have no physical store here and I have yet to receive something that I thought I wanted or needed a different size in.

For quality, I actually think it's pretty decent for basics. Washing hasn't ruined anything of mine yet and I rarely ever dry anything anyways, so that's not an issue for me either!

They're not really my cup of tea somehow but a lot of my super stylish friends swear by this brand! I think the quality is good, but yes, they run really small. I would normally buy a Small, but I'm a Large in them.
