yesssssssssssssssir.

[Aku]

seems to be split even, I guess i'll wait for a few more responses before purchasing, I need like 6 hoodies. thnx so far for the replies

[lithiumsys]

I prefer AA. Softer on the inside, and usually longer; which is good for me considering Im tall, but skinny.

[symplex]

I like the fit/quality of my H&M hoodies more than my AA ones, and I feel like the H&M hoodies hold up better in the long run.

[hollaforadolla]

the fabric on hm hoodies are a bit different.. a bit more like champion hoodies from back in the day.

AA hoodies are thinner and a more modern cut / construction. They do last, as long as you take meticulous care of them. I hand wash pretty much everything sans undies and socks so my AA hoodie has not shrunk. The fleece is still soft and the dimensions are still essentially the same.

I have though accidentally washed both hm and AA hoodies before and AA hoodies come out completely warped. HM hoodies can stand many washes.

cosign. AAs are too thin, but neither h&m or aa will last more than a couple washes...

but there aren't h&m wholesalers

H&M on the whole still still last longer than AA stuff at least in my experience

[homi29]

i like H&M blank hoodies as they fit well, are warm, and are cheaper than AA

although the cut on AA is desirable the baggage that comes w/ it is not

[samduhspam]

never had an AA hoodie but my H&M has a nice fit and quality is pretty good. cant beat that for $19.99 for a blank hoodie.

I don't wear hoodies too much but my AA track jackets have withstood 20+ washes and still fit really good. The key is not throwing them in the dryer- just hang them up damp.

I have a black CRICLETAKESTHESQUAREx american apparel track jacket (no scenester) that i've had since last spring and I have worn it at least twice a week since then, and still fits like the day I bought it. I love that thing.

Much love, black CRICLETAKESTHESQUAREx american apparel track jacket.

h&m better for just wearing, aa better for layering

i don't think anybody has mentioned this yet... but h&m=way cheaper

[onemancult]

who are these people who's clothes can only withstand two to three washes?

are you using boric acid as a detergent?

how much are blank h&m zip hoodies? are they thermal lined?

[Fabulaz]

how much are blank h&m zip hoodies? are they thermal lined?

$30 CAD + tax.

[wodnerduck]

h&m is better in my opinion but they're both crap

you get what you pay for

[axtsang]

H&M > AA

But has anyone else experienced the "rippling effect" of the elastic ends (at the bottom) on the H&M hoodies after a few wears?

I agree with the h&m lasting only a few washes

[alex_844]

it's not like you have to wash hoodies that much anyways... unless you're disgusting.

[dismalfuture]

I just bought a Uniqlo hoody, I like it 100X better than my AA's. Double YKK zip that seems reasonably durable, that loop lining, taped seams, reinforced overlock stitch on all the stressed areas, and like half the price of the AA.

[onemancult]

Uniqlo trumps all.

[rome1]

Uniqlo trumps all.

and thats the only truth.

[axtsang]

and thats the only truth.

...and also out of the question for us Canadians.

ps. Canada licks cow balls.

How do you guys wash your clothes? I own 3 H&M hoodies and I've washed them both 30+ times with absolutely no problems.

I wash inside out at 30 degrees with a mild detergent.

[Aku]

only problem is I can't find UNIQLO in toronto
