Fit check: Good American
Varies by lineOwners say the denim fits true to size despite looking tiny off the body, while the sweats and outerwear are cut oversized.
Across independent reviews the denim story is consistent: the jeans look alarmingly small off the body but stretch to fit true to size once on — one long-form reviewer's advice is to "order your true size rather than sizing down." The recurring caveat is Good American's combined size bands (e.g. 6-12): a Yahoo tester at the top of her band found the Always Fits pair "snug, especially through the hips and thighs," and reviewers who sit between sizes report some styles running slightly small. The sweats line reads the opposite way — pieces are deliberately roomy, with "extra fabric in the arms to create an oversized vibe," and owners size down when they want a closer fit. Fit reports on jackets and the shacket are mixed, so per-style checks matter most outside the denim.
Sizing advice: Take your usual size in the jeans even though they look tiny off the body (size up only if you're at the top of a combined size band); in the sweats, size down for anything other than an oversized fit.

What owners report about Good American t-shirts
Independent coverage of Good American's tee line is thin compared with its denim, but what exists is positive on fabric weight: one reviewer who owns the classic cotton tee called it "perfectly thick, a little cropped, and not at all see-through" and considered it fairly priced for the quality. Retailer feedback is more mixed — the stretch baby tee averages 3.7 out of 5 stars across 23 reviews at one major retailer, where the aggregate fit note says it runs slightly small. Editorial coverage of the brand's other non-denim knits echoes the substantial-fabric theme, describing cotton knit that feels high-quality and durable, though one reviewer found the heavy fabric too warm for hot climates.
- Strengths
- Owners report thick, opaque cotton that holds its shape and reads as good quality for the price.
- Watch out for
- Sizing is inconsistent from style to style — one tee ran large enough to return while the baby tee is reported to run slightly small — and retailer ratings on some tee styles are middling.
- Sizing
- Reports conflict by style: the brand's own reviewers advise ordering true size rather than sizing down, one owner returned a classic tee that ran big, and retailer feedback says the baby tee runs slightly small — check the specific style's fit notes.
