The fabric quality has changed three times since I have been buying, Each time becoming worse. The constructiion of the basic t shirts and the classic girl t shirts sometimes have side seams and sometimes don't, and the neck band has gone through at least one change. The sewing is poor, and I can no longer use them in my work because of these problems. Even my teenage sons say no more mom! And you know what? There are a lot of tshirts out there that are not made in sweatshops. I think this was a marketing coup. I don't know about anybody else but I am really sick of seeing their product photography.

But, for the price, I prefer similar products from A.S.Tees in South Carolina. Check out http://www.stillmadeinusa.com if you're looking for more US-made stuff made by people with decent wages and benefits! I’ve bought some AA tops and they’re nice.

Although the white is screaming to have something on it. If a screenprinter out there can begin spicing these up, I'll be first in line. A hood would be nice as well.

I don't know. I think I'll wait until after the trial before I stop buying AA. Here's a summary of the media mimickery: http://mediamythmashing.blogspot.com/ Beth,
