What owners report about American Giant shorts
Shorts-specific coverage is thin, but the one menswear review that covers the line calls the work-style shorts about as hard-wearing a pair as you'll find on the market, and positions the sweatshorts as a step up from basic athletic shorts. Brand-level testing backs that up: reviewers who wore the clothes hard for months report no signs of wear, fading, or loose threads. The caveats are consistent too — the mostly-cotton fabrics shrink a few percent in the wash, some pieces run small, and multiple reviewers say prices sit above what they'd normally pay for basics.
- Strengths
- Durability is the consistent finding — long-term testers report garments holding up to heavy use with no visible wear.
- Watch out for
- Reviewers flag shrinkage on the all-cotton fabrics, some items running small, and prices they consider slightly high even for US-made garments.
- Sizing
- Testers report some pieces run small and that the 100% cotton fabrics can shrink 3-5%, so size with shrinkage in mind rather than sizing down.
