THE FLEECE SWEATPANT | BLUE DRIFT

Owners 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.

Reviewers describe the line as offering several distinct silhouettes, from a high-rise boyfriend cut with extra fabric that bunches at the ankle for a baggy look to a more fitted jogger with a tight cuff and high rise. Hands-on testers report the cotton feels substantial and body-hugging, and one found the pieces unlike other sweats she owned. Fit runs on the fitted side for the jogger, so shoppers wanting a slouchier look may need to account for that.

Strengths

Reviewers praise the substantial, quality-feeling cotton and the variety of flattering, distinctive cuts.

Watch out for

The jogger runs more fitted than typical sweatpants, which may disappoint shoppers expecting a loose fit.

Sizing

Testers note the jogger fits close and the boyfriend style sits high-rise; size up if you want a slouchier drape.
