The verdict
Fit
Wide leg from hip to ankle—a statement cut that reads contemporary. At $75 (clearance), fit runs true to size.
Quality
Typical of American Giant's entry-level line: functional construction and straightforward fabric. Seams hold well for the price.
Is the price fair?
Excellent value at clearance pricing; the $75 price is a steal for a recognizable brand, though base quality is basic.
Best for
Budget shoppers seeking trendy wide-leg silhouettes without paying full price, acceptable for casual or fashion-forward styling.
Care
Machine wash and tumble dry; the fern color may fade slightly with repeated washing and direct sunlight.
What owners report about American Giant pants
Owners consistently praise the construction — one reviewer calls the seams, fabric, and overall build top notch — and long-term wearers report the stretch styles hold their shape: a three-year owner says her pair shows no stretching, almost no pilling, and no color fade despite regular machine washing. A tester who wore the chinos and sweatpants near-daily for months, including for car repairs and dog grooming, found no signs of wear. The recurring gripe is length: both chinos and sweatpants were reported to run short enough that leg shows when seated, and some women's styles have undersized or protruding pockets.
- Strengths
- Durable, shape-retaining fabrics and construction that owners report outlasting cheaper stretch pants over years of regular wear and machine washing.
- Watch out for
- Inseams reported to run short — fine standing but exposing leg when seated — plus small or protruding pockets on some women's styles.
- Sizing
- Reviewers report lengths run short in both chino and sweatpant styles, and one between-sizes owner recommends taking the smaller size in the straight-leg stretch pant.
