Men's Roughneck Pant Straight - Dress Navy

Fit depends on which cut you pick: the Classic line is slim, tapered, and reads small on average builds, the Relaxed line is much roomier, and the all-cotton fleece shrinks a size's worth in a hot dryer.

Owners and testers split along the brand's two fit lines rather than one direction. The Classic fleece is cut athletic — broad shoulders tapering to the waist — and one hands-on tester found several pieces "ran small" against the brand's own size charts, with pants also running short in the leg. Meanwhile hoodie reviewers report the opposite out of the box — one called it "larger than its true size" and baggy in the arms — but the 100% cotton shrinks roughly 3-5% in the dryer, and another reviewer's slightly-large medium settled to a proper fit after one wash-and-dry. Reviewers note the Relaxed fit runs about 5 inches bigger in the chest than Classic at the same marked size, so the label alone doesn't tell you the fit.

Sizing advice: Keep your usual size in the Classic fleece and dry on low to let the 3-5% shrinkage dial in the fit; choose the Relaxed cut (not a size up) if you want room, and expect pant inseams to run short.

American Giant's dresses are cut from the same French terry and knit fabrics as its fleece, and owners report them comfortable, stretchy, and substantial rather than skimpy, with enough shape to avoid looking like a sack. Testers of the broader line found no color fading, loose threads, or shrinkage after wear and washing, and long-term owners say the construction outlasts ordinary sweatshirts. Recurring complaints center on price, sizing that runs small against the charts, and women's pieces that trade function for looks — one tester's front pocket fit only half a phone.

Strengths

Durable, well-made knit fabric that testers report survives heavy wear and washing without fading, loose threads, or shrinkage.

Watch out for

Pieces run small versus the size chart, prices draw complaints, and slow shipping plus inconsistent customer support recur in reviews.

Sizing

Reviewers report American Giant runs small compared to its own size charts, so consider sizing up — though the dress fabrics are stretchy and forgiving.
