American Apparel

Just went by there and it’s empty. Do not go to this location it is closed. Do not go to this location it is closed. Do not go to this location it is closed down.

Will never, ever purchase from this company again. My suddenly fashion conscience 15 y.o. bought a grey sweater in late August for school. Since it’s been ungodly hot for the last few months, he probably wore the sweater twice, max. It now has a hole in it (I do the laundry, no mistreatment there). Does anyone hang onto their sales receipts forever; especially a teenager? The American Apparel label is still on the sweater; however, the manager at The Lab store (Costa Mesa) refused to offer anything — no store credit, no exchange, nothing — because we didn’t have the sales receipt. We simply left the now useless garment there.
Made in the U.S.A. No wonder such businesses don’t make it with that sort of quality and worse, horrible customer service. Interestingly enough, he’s still wearing the supposedly lower quality stuff he bought last year at Forever 21.

I love American Apparel clothes for the most part: 4 stars
The staff here are always friendly, I actually just visited today and they were exceptional: 5 stars!
There’s no parking which can be a pain, but the location is in a very walkable area: 3 stars

I went in to this store this afternoon and the staff was very rude and disinterested and seemed to want to do nothing but hangout and talk to each other rather then take interest in their customers. Got no greeting as I came in or left the store. Not going back there.
street parking is hard to find.

I thought American Apparel would be fairly inexpensive given the very simple designs and styles offered, but was a bit surprised to find hoodies for $ 55 and tees for $ 35 that I would have paid less for elsewhere. Ah! They aren’t getting these from China!!! I like to support American made, but apparently they are laying off workers and planning to close some stores, so «Made in America» is more of a challenge than even they have considered. I’d rather spend my money to pay a politician or a lobbyist to push for laws protecting US workers rather than subsidize inferior products… sorry.

I like this location except there is no parking.

The best AA I’ve visited (in the U.S. And elsewhere); great selection, clean, organized store and super-​nice saleswomen. The nicest ever. Helped me find things, assisted/​suggested with others. Nice location too!

There’s a bunch of meter parking within a block, which makes this location super convenient. Everything is made in the US of A, so I like to stop here when I’m looking for basic plain tees or solid color clothing items.

I was greeted less than seconds before walking into the store. I actually loved the vibe and feel of the store, and it’s a wider variety than the American Apparel nearby. Staff was short, which makes sense late on a Thursday night, but I still found them super helpful. They’ll help you find what you need.

The staff here was some of the nicest I have ever encountered. It is a great store, larger than most other american apparels

Extraordinarily rude customer service. If I’m going to be giving you my business, I’d. at least expect not to be spoken to like garbage. Thanks, but no thanks.

I really do like this location of AA. It’s big, it’s right next to Mohawk Bend which is fabulous for lunch/​dinner/​bag ever you’re craving. The staff is nice and willing to help every time I’ve been there. I go almost every time I’m in the area and usually end up with something. You can park across the street behind that massive laundromat/​Starbucks for free, no sweat and then enjoy your surroundings for the evening.

I recently purchased several shirts from this store. After washing them two of them were obviously damaged as they had streaking across the front and side. The store refused to accept them even though the items are obviously defective. I won’t purchase any more items from this manufacturer ever again because they don’t stand by their product.

They have NOTHING for fat people. Not. A. Fucking. THING. Even the Dr. Bronner soaps they sell there don’t fit me.

I’ve always had a good experience shopping at American Apparel, especially the Echo Park store.
Stopped in today to pick up a few items for a fresh and clean New Years. A sincere greeting walking in the door, prompt inquiry from a salesgirl if I needed help… good customer service.
When I couldn’t find an item, the manager (?) Molly came from around the counter to help me locate what I was looking for. Very appreciated especially since I was in a bit of a hurry.
As a 6 ft skinny guy, I love the fit of the shirts and other mens clothing at American Apparel. This is my go to place for comfy clothes and not bottom out my checking account.
Don’t believe the haters! The staff is very friendly as long as you don’t go there with the preconceived notion they are uptight hipsters. They’re regular people making a living and if you act like a prick, expect the same in return. it’s simple.
My thanks to Molly and the rest of the staff for giving me ample reason to keep coming back.

I shop almost exclusively at American Apparel and UO because being lean and short is not a winning combination for both size and fit at 90% of stores in american. But AA and UO are two stores that routinely carry clothes in my size.
This is a typical American apparel, I got a pair of their grey chambray pants. No different than the thousands of AA’s but what really stuck out at this one was the service.
This American apparel has the Best salespeople of any of the ones I’ve been to! When they didn’t have the color I wanted, they quickly jumped on the phone and ordered it from across the city. Gave me a call two days later when it arrived. Why do people rag on the salespeople at these places? they’re mega-​helpful and so, so bangable.

Their shirts are amazing. The TRI-​BLEND is a dream come true. SUPER soft and LONG for my tall tall body.
There are a few other items I’ve picked up that are staples of my wardrobe: Zip up hoodie, summer v-​neck shirt, swim trunks.
There are way too many clothes that aren’t in my size, but that’s not AA’s fault, it’s my parents. Thanks freakishly tall family genes. (6’7″)
Oh, and I love their ads. Who wouldn’t? (Don’t lie, you like em too!)

The American Apparel there on Sunset had extremely helpful sales people and they had exactly what we needed –pants for my skinny dude son. We had been to all the regular stores in the mall and there were NO sized 29 X 32 pants. But American Apparel had them in about 8 colors. Beautiful, unusual colors too as well as the usual blacks and grays!
They are a little pricey but worth it

Parking is located on the streets and I’ve had no problems finding parking. The employees are SUPER nice, although one was a little ditzy and took her forever to do a refund/​exchange. I think the people in front of me were pretty annoyed with her too since they walked out with nothing in their hands. But, to her defense… she was REALLY nice and sweet =)
This is a good store to pick up basics. I can tell the quality is pretty good, which I guess would explain the pricey-​ness of something that is really very basic. The cottons they use are SUPER soft and SUPER comfy! Love the black opaque tights from here and the soft cotton tees and cute hoodies for children. I can tell my son loves the clothes I’ve gotten for him from here too. Oh. the children’s clothing sizes run small, so be sure to up a size or two.
Not a place I’d frequent often, but great place to pick up basics!

I have to detract two stars for making leggings as popular as they’ve become. I really should detract more stars for American Apparel making them in that vomit-​worthy gold lamé.
I like American Apparel because their clothes fucking fit me.
I like them because they have those awesome 70’s running shorts that make my ass look great.
I like this store because it’s my go-​to guy when I sleep over at my boyfriend’s and forget to pack undies.
