American Giant vs Flint and Tinder | What is the Best American Made Hoodie?

[@MrBunbut]

I wear the 10 year more often because it feel softer but I do really like the American Giant, it feel tougher. Thank you for your review.

[@StrayReviews]

I agree. Thanks!

[@isoldearndt9852]

Thanks a lot for this video. I want to buy one of this and now it helps to find the right decision. I am from Germany. And because of the custom and transport costs I will buy it next year during my vacation in your beautiful country.

[@StrayReviews]

Thanks Isolde!

I have 2 American Giant hoodies. One is the classic and the other is the mid-weight. Both have faded and began to fray and tear. The mid’s zipper has shrank and began to “rollercoaster”. They do need some work.. I have 2 Carhartt hoodies, one is 15 years old and one is close to 10. Both have not frayed or lost any color over the years. I use the Carhartts for work and they have held up. If I put the AG hoodies through the same I am sure they’d be done in a year or so.

I feel the same about American Giant having quality control issues. I do not have the hoodie because I hate the generic photos on the website that don't give you details pocket sizes. Plus how about an inside pocket ag? I did buy the flannel shirt from AG which by the way is a rare thing they seem to have supply chain issues. The flannel shirt had a lot of loose sewing threads and loose threads in the button holes

[@StrayReviews]

I haven't had the same issues with the AG hoodies, but I do have a Carhartt that I've been wearing hard for over 10 years and it's still in great shape, and cost me much less than the AG.

[@BY-ib9ew]

any concerns about the poly blend? personally anything that isn't 100% cotton is a pretty big turn off

[@StrayReviews]

Nothing beats 100% cotton! 👍

[@jessek437]

10 year is more confortable. I own 2 of each as well. AG makes good stuff but not as soft.

[@StrayReviews]

Yep, the AG feels a bit more rigid.

[@michaellumpkinss7368]

Both !! They both are amazing hoodies ! Depends what color waxed canvas jacket I’m wearing on top for me ! Haha. Either is a great choice to buy.

[@StrayReviews]

It's great to have options! 😅

[@curtshelp6170]

I own both and I find the reverse to be true for sizing. I’m 5’6” 185 pounds with a 49” chest, 38” waist and in sizing to fit my chest the American Giant fits flatteringly while the 10 year is still tighter in the chest and far longer in both body and sleeves. I agree with your comments on weight and the loose cuffs on the 10 year. I live in the AG and rarely wear the ill fitting 10 year. AG has a relaxed cut now that may accommodate some better.

[@StrayReviews]

If you’re going to pick a hoodie to live in, the AG is a great choice!

[@bryancasco7270]

What size do you wear?

[@curtshelp6170]

@@bryancasco7270 XL which leaves them long in body and sleeve and loos at all the cuffs in order to fit my chest.

[@asherray4969]

That cat intro was funny, I definitely relate my cat does that every time I’m trying to do something important!

[@StrayReviews]

It’s like he doesn’t want me giving more attention to anything than him. 😂

[@rbalbontin]

I think the only one comparing both, great video. I just got the AG on medium and I'm also close to 174cm as you and 167 lbs. My brand new hoodie is way too baggy compared to yours. I'm wondering if when you washed it, you might have tumble dry it and it got shrunk?.

[@StrayReviews]

Thanks so much! It may have shrunk just a little. I wonder if they changed the fit on these since I bought this one.

[@ChoatMusic]

😮 as far as American Giant, the photos are so make model genaric, I want to see better view of pocket sizes and maybe an extra pocket. Same with the pants.

[@StrayReviews]

Their pants look pretty cool, but their jeans are like 30% polyester. I don't think I'd be into that.

[@heetukatit90028]

Really dope cat sighting at the :50 second mark.

[@StrayReviews]

That's Wilson. 😅

[@heetukatit90028]

Well then, Wilson has got another fan = ) @@StrayReviews

[@matmeiers950]

I own both but hardly use the American Giant for the same reasons. One thing id add is the hood is ridiculously large and wide. With the slim fit the proportions look off and its just plain goofy looking.

[@StrayReviews]

It’s true. It’s a pretty big hood.

[@g.shumway5925]

what color was the 10 year in this video? Was it brick?

[@StrayReviews]

That was rust.

[@AtticTapes14]

Why do i like zip up hoodies so much.

[@StrayReviews]

Me too. They’re so comfortable.

[@Pletsue]

Great review. Love the cat.

[@StrayReviews]

Thanks! And the cat loves you!

[@IvanSergio1984]

I own two of the 10 year hoodies and a few American Giant hoodies. I find that the American Giant sizing is very inconsistent. I tend to wear the 10 year hoodies a bit more for this reason.

[@StrayReviews]

@@IvanSergio1984 Inconsistent sizing is such a pain, especially when you're used to a piece fitting a certain way.

[@REKTcity]

Wait the 10 year is THINNER?? But the American Giant is 13 oz/sq yard while the 10 year is 23 oz, how can it possibly be thinner??

[@StrayReviews]

Yep. Sounds strange but it’s true. I think it has something to do with the fact that the Flint and Tinder has some polyester in it.

[@REKTcity]

@@StrayReviews Well I'm happy I saw this review! I've been waiting months for the 10 year pullover to come back in stock because I thought for sure it was heavier. Just ordered my American Giant :)

[@StrayReviews]

@@REKTcity My pleasure!

[@REKTcity]

KITTY!

You’re wearing an American Giant because it’s an American Giant, and you’re concerned about style and perception.
