$12 Black AA Cardigans

[nick123]

Just got an email saying they're backordered. This may take a while.

I guess I got lucky, mine ships tomorrow

[onemancult]

i can't even tell if the email i just got is telling me its shipping or not.

[polishmike]

I got the same one "Available stock will be shipped, balance will be put on backorder". I can wait.

[vvoc]

ya thats what mine said too...anyone have any idea how long it tends to take? it says 18 days...shit thats long.

[DJI]

Does anyone have the measurement for the sleeve length for the XS cardi?

I was thinking about ordering one (even if i have to wait for back order) but want to make sure it will fit right as I have to pay shipping to Australia.

Cheers

Ditto. First time dealing with AA, is this common practice for them? So much for first impressions...

i just got an email saying they're back ordered too..

it said it could take up to 18 days or more to ship once they get the item back in stock. ugh.

according to the chart on the site (that i just copied and pasted) the XXS cardigan is apparently a 29-31 inch chest..and a XS is a 30-32. i ordered a small. but i wear a 34-36 in blazers and jackets. i thought the medium would be TOO big. i've tried the "baby rib" cardigan they have at the store still for about $38 and the small fit perfect, the XS was way too snug and i thought it would shrink too much if i bought and washed it.

XXS

29-31

XS

30-32

S

34-36

M

38-40

L

XL

3XL

50-52

keep in mind AA shrinks quite alot.

Just bought one in L. Im a 38 but when I tried on the M in the store it fit a little too grandpa-ish. Hopefully Ill get a slouchy look with the L after shrinking. Thanks for the shipping code!

[zelah]

what sizes did you guys order that are backordered

[corned beef]

my medium is backordered and i thought i ordered relatively early.

Poop

[JesseJB]

my Large isnt backordered. sweeet.

[zelah]

and now my small is back ordered..

[PanicOf06]

grrr...

mine's backordered as well..

not really anxious to get it too much tho...already have a black cardi.

anyone know the difference between the Beneton cardi and the AA one?

as far as quality and sizing goes?

[corned beef]

nevermind haha, ig uess i misread the email. I just got mine in today. fast ass shipping...wow

[Curious_George]

I got an email too, although I'm not sure what to make of it. It doesn't tell me if my cardigan is backordered, but under shipping remarks it says, "Available stock will be shipped, balance will be put on backorder." I ordered another shirt too, so maybe I'll be getting two packages.

[kwonster]

no idea if mine is backordered or not but hopefully not since i was probably the second one that ordered.

[nick123]

i got mine yesterday, pretty good quality for $12

[kiefer]

i got mine today but the M is definitally feeling grandpa ish.... could i go to the store and swap for a small or should i just let it shrink

[maxmax]

so what is the consensus on these? do they run larger than the AA size chart? i ordered a small earlier in the week but it was backordered and i'm wondering if i should change my order to an xs.

[derek james]

i paid 38$ or whatever for mine. now i feel like a fool.

i think the sizes run about the same. the xs is kind of snug on me and the small is a little bit loose.

[allcapitan]

Lucky bastards. Mine's on backorder. At least another three weeks for me.

One thing I do wonder about: why is the black so steeply discounted? I'd figure black is pretty much the default, safe color for a cardigan so you'd think they wouldn't have to discount this color in particular. Who cares, it's a great price (if I ever get mine).

i got mine yesterday, pretty good quality for $12

[thehawk]

I got mine today although I got the backordered email status for small. Might get lucky and not have to wait 18 days.

[white_giraffe]

got mine today. but compared to my other cardi, it is alot thicker and heavier. weird.

[mis]

yeah whoever said its t shirt material is right. buttons are cool though

[sbbbjm]

wait . . . so its not the ribbed material?

[bbwape]

got my small as well, even though it was backordered! small is kinda big, i guess dryer can do the job :-)

[holotekor]

got mine today. but compared to my other cardi, it is alot thicker and heavier. weird.

yeah whoever said its t shirt material is right. buttons are cool though

so is it thick and heavy, or like a t shirt? either way i guess im happy

[seafinch]

I just got mine today...

I usually wear a medium in most stuff, but a large in american apparel hoodies and track jackets. So i went with a large. I got it yesterday and it was way too big. Luckily i live in Boulder, CO and we have and american apparel so I was able to go in and switch it straight accross for the color of my choice. I didn't tell them it was an online purchase - just said I got the wrong size.

Good luck to everyone else.

[wild style]

Got mine today. It's safe to say that it's definitely not thick and heavy. Hope it shrinks a little, the medium is kind of big.

edit: Good idea seafinch, maybe I'll try exchanging mine as well. What color did you get instead?

[white_giraffe]

did they ask about a receipt or anything? mine didn't come with price tags...

maybe i'll give it a try. i don't know if i like the black all that much.

mine was a bit thicker for some reason... my other one is like a tshirt material tho...
