What owners report about Aviator Nation jackets & outerwear
Coverage of Aviator Nation's outerwear centers on its tri-blend fleece pieces — hoodies, half-zips and zip jackets. Owners consistently describe the fleece as very soft and comfortable, hand-sewn in the brand's Los Angeles factory, and some report pieces holding up through months of frequent wear. Recurring complaints are about care and quality control: reviewers report dye bleeding in the wash, shrinkage, fabric that stains easily, defects on arrival, and a frustrating exchange policy — problems buyers find hard to accept at the price. Verdicts split between repeat purchasers who call the pieces worth the cost and owners who feel they paid for the name.
- Strengths
- Softness, comfort and the distinctive made-in-LA stitching are what owners praise most and what drives repeat purchases.
- Watch out for
- Dye bleed, shrinkage and easy staining in the wash are the most repeated failures, compounded by high prices and a strict exchange policy.
- Sizing
- Sizing is unisex; blogger fit reviews call the fleece true to size, with petite buyers staying at the smallest end of the XS-XXL range rather than sizing down further.
