The verdict
Fit
Deep-v sweaters are fitted and body-conscious through the chest and waist. Expect snug shoulders and true sizing; the deep neckline exposes more décolletage, so size accurately and layer if needed.
Quality
Fitted knits are durable when constructed well; seaming at the neckline is a stress point, so expect decent reinforcement. Typical lifespan 2–3 seasons with care.
Is the price fair?
At $121.99, fair for a fitted, statement-making piece. You're paying brand and silhouette premium, not material premium.
Best for
Shoppers comfortable with form-fitting silhouettes and deep necklines who want a sweater that makes an entrance.
Care
Hand wash in cool water to preserve the neckline shaping; lay flat to dry, avoid hanging which can stretch the neck opening.
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 sweaters
Third-party coverage of Good American's fine-gauge sweaters is scarce; the hands-on reviews that exist cover the sweatshirt-style knits that share this range. Reviewers describe thick, heavyweight cotton fabric that feels sturdy, with cuts designed to look oversized while still fitting through the body. Proportions surprise owners in both directions: cropped styles come up shorter than product photos suggest, while one piece bought true to size turned out more fitted than expected. One reviewer also found the fabric too thick to wear much in a hot climate.
- Strengths
- Reviewers consistently describe the knit fabric as heavyweight, durable-feeling and comfortable, with oversized cuts that still fit properly through the body.
- Watch out for
- Sizing behavior is inconsistent style to style — some pieces run large, some run fitted, and cropped styles run short — so owners advise checking each style rather than assuming your size.
- Sizing
- Reports vary by style: sweats run large, cropped tops run shorter than they look online, and one reviewer recommends sizing up if you want slouch or room to layer.
