The verdict
Fit
Fitted through the armholes with stripe embroidery. True-to-size for clean layering; size up for a relaxed silhouette over heavier pieces.
Quality
Glossy nylon with embroidered stripes. Seams at armholes are the wear point—these are reinforced but not overbuilt.
Is the price fair?
The stripe detail justifies the $395 price better than plain vests do. You're getting recognizable design alongside glossy nylon construction.
Best for
Shoppers who want logo-free design detail in layering pieces and rotate seasonally.
Care
Gentle wash to protect the nylon sheen and stripe embroidery.
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.
