A Brief History of American Apparel
Founded in Los Angeles in 1989, American Apparel quickly became a recognised name in fashion basics. The brand is built on a commitment to ethically made, high-quality apparel. Minimalist designs, soft fabrics, and vibrant colour ranges make them a perfect canvas to brand your graphics. American Apparel tees gained popularity in music, streetwear, and promotional branding industries.
Today, the brand continues to deliver premium cotton T-shirts with a focus on sustainability, using organic and responsibly sourced materials in many of its products. Their reputation for superior fabric, flattering cuts, and long-lasting quality makes American Apparel a standout choice for businesses.
