The verdict
Fit
Modal fleece crew, likely relaxed fit with the softness of modal blended with fleece structure. True to size; fleece adds a lofted hand and slight weight.
Quality
At $98, this is American Giant's premium category. Modal is a step up in fiber quality and softness; fleece construction adds warmth. Expect high-quality finishing and durability.
Is the price fair?
Premium-tier pricing at $98. This is a luxury casual crew; you're paying for premium materials and construction, not brand markup.
Best for
Anyone seeking a cozy crew that's structured and not a basic sweatshirt—a premium loungewear or layering piece for year-round wear.
Care
Modal fleece can pill with friction; wash in cool water and avoid dryer heat; lay flat to dry.
Fit check: American Giant
Varies by lineFit 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.

What owners report about American Giant t-shirts
Owners consistently describe American Giant tees as noticeably heavier and more substantial than typical basics — heavy to the touch but comfortable to wear — and report them holding up through daily rotation without stretching out. The pushback is almost entirely about price: even owners who keep the shirts in rotation call them solid rather than exceptional for the money, and a minority report wash problems like curled hems and color that doesn't hold.
- Strengths
- Substantial, opaque fabric and durable construction that owners say survives heavy daily wear.
- Watch out for
- Owners question the full-retail price for a plain tee, and a few report hems curling and color fading after washing.
- Sizing
- Reviewers describe a more tailored cut through the shoulders and chest rather than a boxy basic-tee shape.
