Why are you already replacing a hoodie you still want?
It felt soft and it fit right. Then it pilled and the cuffs gave out, and you bought another one. Here's what the other kind is made of, and why it costs less here.
14oz cotton fleece · Made in LA · Ships from LA
The subscription
It looked good and felt soft. Then the pilling started, the cuffs lost their shape, and the hoodie you bought to wear everywhere became the one you only wear at home. So you buy another one and pay for the same promise again. That's how a cheap hoodie becomes a subscription.
Where the money goes
Before the next one, feel the fabric and look at the stitching. That's where the cost is, and where corners get cut. Los Angeles Apparel's heavy fleece is 14oz, 100% cotton, knit and sewn in South Central LA. It's thick, the seams are finished clean, and the ribbed cuffs and hem spring back when you stretch them.
Why it’s less here
Getting those details right costs money, and LA Apparel sells its heavy fleece crewneck new for $72 and up. We buy the factory's samples and seconds by the pallet, so it's a lot less here. Most pieces are slightly imperfect, and the listing names any known flaw: a small hole, an off shade, a loose thread.

What people ask
Is it really Los Angeles Apparel?
Yes. Every piece here was made by Los Angeles Apparel in its factory in South Central LA. We buy it from them and sell it here. Retailer isn't part of LA Apparel.
Why is it less than LA Apparel's own price?
These are samples, seconds and short runs, bought in bulk. Most are slightly imperfect. Where a flaw is known, like a small hole, an off shade or a loose thread, the listing says so.
What size should I get?
Each listing is one lot, usually in one size, and the size is on the card. Measurements are on the product page.
How fast does it ship?
It ships from Los Angeles within 72 hours, tracked. To Australia it's tracked and insured, door to door.

A hoodie can be expensive to make without being expensive to buy. This is LA Apparel's 14oz fleece, off the factory's overflow, and it's priced like it.
