The verdict
Fit
Sculpted cut in a soft, drapey velvet will conform to your shape more than structure-forward suiting; expect close-fitted sleeves and a nipped waist.
Quality
Good American's velvet blazers hold color well and resist pilling better than cheaper versions; construction is clean and seams are reinforced.
Is the price fair?
At $131, this prices favorably for a velvet blazer from an established brand. You're paying for the textile quality and fit engineering, not pure materials cost.
Best for
Anyone seeking a one-piece way to elevate casual trousers or a simple dress for work and evening occasions.
Care
Dry-clean only; velvet is sensitive to water, heat, and compression—fold loosely or hang on a padded hanger to preserve the nap.
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 jackets & outerwear
Independent feedback on this jacket line comes mostly from rental-platform reviewers rather than editorial coverage, and it is positive but thin. On one faux-leather jacket style, reviewers average 4.5 of 5 across 17 reviews, yet 13 of 17 report it running large; the faux-leather blazer averages 5.0 across 18 reviews with a third of reviewers reporting it runs large and none reporting it runs small. Reviewers like the pieces overall; the consistent thread is that the jacket cuts are intentionally oversized and fit big.
- Strengths
- The faux-leather outerwear rates highly with reviewers, averaging 4.5 to 5.0 stars on rental-platform review counts in the teens.
- Watch out for
- Fit consistently skews large across jacket styles, and there is little independent reporting on the jacket line's long-term durability.
- Sizing
- Reviewer fit data skews runs-large — 13 of 17 reviewers of one jacket style said it ran big — so consider sizing down unless you want the full oversized look.
