Are American Eagle clothes of good quality?

Question

I am looking into buying their jeans (http://www.ae.com/web/browse/product.jsp?rcid=clearance&scid=cat90062&sscid=cat90098&navroot=clearance&productId=1437_7568), but I don't know if they are good quality and won't change shape in the wash or get ruined easily. I'm also thinking about buying some of their shirts, but I don't want them to change shape in the wash. That is my number one pet peeve. If they shrink a little, I'm okay, but I absolutely HATE it when they get baggy.

Answer 1

American Eagle definitely sells items of good quality. Someone mentioned that the buttons fall off, but they give you a little packet with extra buttons attached to all shirts, tank tops with sequins, etc. The jeans don't stretch out or get baggy. In fact, American Eagle prides itself on making jeans that will last for ... ever lol. You know how there are some types of jeans you look at and think: those look like they're definitely good quality (like with sevens or true religion); well, AE jeans are like that except they're not $150 or $200. By the way, someone said their clothes are expensive:they're not. Plus, they have a hefty clearance rack ; )

Answer 2

The reason clothes gets “baggy” after you wash it is due to the material of your clothes. They may have been too delicate and got stretched out after all that spinning the washing machine does to wring out all of that water. Maybe you should try the delicate/knit cycle if you haven’t already. I’ve noticed that the clothes will come out wetter, but it doesn’t matter if you’re going to dry it anyway and this way, at least you preserved the size.

Anyway, I don’t think your jeans will get baggy after washing due to the “tough” material. You could try buying one pair of jeans from AE and try them out to see if you like them and if it survives your washing machine. If it meets your satisfaction, then decide to buy more from AE at that time, but don’t until then.

Answer 3

I have a couple pairs of American Eagle jeans and they have held up good over the past year i have had them....their shirts are of good quality too, but i would suggest not putting them in the drying if you dont want them to shrink

Answer 4

Their jeans are very good quality. They will last you a few years and they come in a HUGE selection of sizes and lengths. Most of their shirts are preshrunk, so i would not buy the next size up if you think something might get big.

Answer 5

I bought a woven cotten tank that ripped, but I bought a blazer that's remained a fave for 1 year. I only need to change the threads to keep it fresh, they're fraying. Their jeans are awesome, but denim is pretty hardy. Unless they have been aged in a specific way that can make color run.

Answer 6

ae has very good clothes with good quality. my favorite jeans are from there. they donbt get baggy at all throughout the day, and nothing not even the shirts change shape in the wash

Answer 7

i purchase sweaters from there. i could say they are 10 circumstances extra suitable than Hollister or Abercrombie. i do no longer purchase something from Hollister or Abercrombie except I assume it to alter into ripped, torn, and hollow in it after 2 washings. i could take the products back to AE! they're going to substitute it if something like that occurred. the showering element! As for looking extremely worn, it extremely is the way that the clothing are meant to look. in case you do no longer think of it is going to look that way after 2 washings then i could substitute soaps. possibly your utilising an exceedingly harsh clothing cleansing soap.

Answer 8

I love their jeans. I have quite a few pairs. They last a really long time. They have great shirts too. Definately try them out

Answer 9

yeah, I love ae jeans, they're the best. They're shirts are okay, but you could probably get something nicer for the same price at American Apparel.

Answer 10

Pretty much yes, I believe. But I've never bought one of their shirts, so I don't know how it would turn out when washed.
