Sweatshirts

$138

The verdict

A casual zip-up at mid-tier price—solid if you like Good American's silhouette, not remarkable otherwise.

Fit

Good American's hoodies and zip-ups typically offer a tapered fit through the torso with some roominess in the sleeves. Sizing runs true; consider one size up if you prefer an intentionally relaxed cut.

Quality

Standard contemporary sweatshirt quality—sturdy face fabric and stable seaming, though the drawstring and zipper mechanics vary season to season. Expect lifespan of 1–2 seasons with normal care.

Price check

At $138, you're paying for the brand and fit curve, not a premium fabric or construction. Fair for the tier if the silhouette matches your body.

Best for

Shoppers who prioritize a tailored, feminine zip-up shape and are willing to pay brand premium for the fit.

Care

Machine wash cold, inside-out, to protect the zipper and prevent pilling; tumble dry low or air dry.

Varies by line

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.

What owners report about Good American sweatshirts

Strengths: Reviewers praise the heavy-duty cotton and terry fleece as feeling high-quality and durable.
Watch out for: Some styles run large or turn out more cropped than they appear on the model online.
Sizing: Reviewers say the sweats run large, so consider sizing down if you want a closer fit.
