This sale has been going on a while now. I've had a few items so can give some pointers:

- The organic long sleeve t-shirt is very long in the sleeves but it shrinks somewhat in the wash to look acceptable. Lovely, soft cotton.

- In general the sizes run slightly small, but not by much, for menswear anyway

- The Hammer t-shirt in acid-wash grey is the pick. For £4 you wont get cooler. Very thick cotton and a good cut.

- The regular t-shirts are very thin. Too thin for me. Would suit slimmer people better perhaps.

- The t-shirts run a longer length than the usual high street stuff. Good for me as most t-shirts shrink to too short for my average torso (I shrink everything in the wash)

- If in doubt on sizing, get the larger size

- The power wash t-shirts are nicer than the regular ones IMO, although the neck line can run wide

- No two of the same item run to exactly the same size/cut. It's a bit of a lottery because of the way these are made, partly by hand in a factory in LA.

- The hoodies are ace, sort of design classics. You can see them in many a Hollywood movie.

Hope that helps

Especially this one:

Also 15% of with: GET15

Very plain clothes but ordered some stuff for the family. The models seem to have a strange expressionless look on their faces.

Further 20% off with unidays.

Ordered couple of hoodies cheers, I still remember the sale they had at their store in brick lane where it all kicked off few years back check YouTube, this is safer cheers op

Didn't see the GET15 code till after I'd ordered, gutted. Seems too much hassle to cancel and go through it all again, still got some decent bargains though!

Amazing deal thanks op! This should be getting way more heat than it has

how to cancel the order/

Very plain clothes but ordered some stuff for the family. The models seem to have a strange expressionless look on their faces.

Thanks OP.

I like the ethos when choosing the models. Sometimes I'm put off when I look at the size of the models, nice site v. down to earth, thanks op

Cheers! 4 Hoodies for less than £25. Bargain!

Must resist, must resist....Aaarrrghhh, I couldn't! Ended up buying loads for the family!
Thanks OP! And moanthetic! Great find and 15% off too.
Must go to sleep before I see any more deals!

Great deal. Bought 13 items for £55.25 after 15% code with free delivery too.

Didn't really need to add to piles of new clothes I have at the moment but these will do fine for lounging around :smiley:

Do the hoodie shrink much.?

Like I'm a large but would I be better to get xl or 2 xl due to shrinkage..? Tnx

Heat added :sunglasses:

he looks "hip hip hooray" in that :smirk:

What is the link for it? The HUKD app just takes me to a blank webpage and I can't see anything on sale on the AA website.

Wonder if they have any American Apparel Underwear.... :wink:

It doesn't appear on their mobile site for them maybe?

Great Deal, thanks OP :smiley:

3% cashback through TCB USA.
You can pay yourself in $ through PayPal.

Well I tried to pay via PayPal, and it attempted to charge me full non sale price for every item. Be careful people.

Why does everything look way too long in the sleeves, you would need arms like a chimp or is that just the stylee and I'm not trendy enough to get it.

The models look so bloomin' miserable! Perhaps they don't like wearing the clothes or they're not being paid?

Thanks OP - just got a hoodie and a t shirt for £12.50 delivered using the code - ace! :smiley:

It kept doing that for me too, and I kept exiting and retrying so in the end I thought it was safer to put card details as payment.

Guest checkout and PayPal worked for me.

2 hoodies and 5 t-shirts for £30 delivered. Bargain! Heat!

Thanks OP ......Just spent £30 ..... I didn't "need" to :stuck_out_tongue::wink:

Ordered 4 t shirts and 2 hoodies for £24 delivered, bargain. Thank you OP

Page is weird , models in awkward poses and sad faces. http://i.americanapparel.net/storefront/photos/morephotos/rsapdz423/rsapdz423_05.jpg

Website is tripping major balls!

Thanks OP.
Just spent another £15 I didn't intend to this morning.

Love how their website's hyper links take up 1/4 of the page when browsing... seriously wtf.

How to filter?!

seriously??

Awful site to use on phone

Happy to help!! Another bonus is that I ordered about 10pm last night and my order has already been dispatched! So £4 delivery is very speedy :sunglasses:

I do not need more clothes... I do not need more clothes...

Can't resist :disappointed:

(Heat added)

love some of the bright colours zip up hoodies but want them just in non zip up but great deals to be had

literally the male models are some of the worst models ive seen, they make everything look crap!

Totally agree makes them look dog rough.....

Will check it out later

Have you ever seen a dog that looks that fly? I'm sold! Heat added

If you like that the hair clip is not bad ether (>.>)

​Yeah I did that. As I checked out using PayPal the total cost came to £379 instead of £55ish! So cancelled tried twice more and the same happened. Resorted to using my card in the end.
Just must have been me... :smirk:

Must be clearing all the old stock as they go through a reorganisation after firing the genius behind the brand. AA will be a footnote in 5 years.

Eurgh! Check out the hairy arms and man hands!

Not sure whether to hate or love you, OP. I woke up this morning not knowing that I was going to have a leak in the wallet. :neutral_face:

Got a couple of hoodies and a fleece, some great prices

Got 4 hoodies and 9 tshirts for £44 delivered. Thanks op. Oh and PayPal went through fine for me at correct price.

Wow their clothes and models make them soooo appealing.

Thank you! 8 items bought for 35 quid!

3 hoodies, 3 cardigans and 6 t-shirts for £49 :smile:

I'm guessing I'll be returning a few of them due to it's quality. Let's just see...

The website design is cold, the clothes are bland and the models look pale, malnourished and creepy. It's like one of those Sports Direct 'fashion' brands.

Thankyou

Really badly coded website - my laptop's CPU is going bananas...

Thanks OP, stocked up on fleece/hoodies great prices, free delivery and an extra 15% off :smiley:

Cheers OP. Managed to grab a few tops on there. Much appreciated :smiley:

Thanks OP, heated :smiley:

Thank you. A brilliant post. :smirk:

the models on that site look like they are being deprived of going outside

Ordered some stuff, but jeez that site is a nightmare. Says 'show only sale colours' and shows the t shirts are £3, but when you look at the order summary some 'sale' colours are in the basket at full price. Check your order very carefully guys.

Thanks op.

Most of the models look as though they made eye contact with Medusa.

Well they may not appeal to you but as a fair skinned person at high risk of skin cancer, I really appreciate that we are seeing more pale skinned models. I quite like the fact that they haven't photo-shopped all their "imperfections" out too :smiley: Also, you should work on your self condfidence - old, bald people can be hot too :smile:

Why did you decide to cancel?

I didn't use the get15 code for the discount. It may have made more sense to just ask them to refund 15%. Anyway I just reordered and seem to have ordered more stuff for less anyway so it worked out well! :smiley:

Sunday best

Thanks op amazing deal. Ordered loads with free returns worth ago. Never used before so will be interested

wow those are some big arms

this is equivalent to wearing no clothes lol

thanks!

Thanks op. 3 Hoodies ordered and discount code applied for less than £20 inc del.

Three hoodies delivered for under £20, thanks OP !

Ordered some tees for me & hoodies for the kids

Thanks OP

Thanks OP, bought myself 6 hoodies for £68. Have some heat.

spent way more than expected haha but some good quality t shirts and a hoody can't complain lost quite abit of weight so time to treat myself :wink:

Thanks, heat added.

just asked them on chat instant chat , see below:

Ohhh :-(

Lol and also stylish like polish guys :wink:

there are some good things on there but these ...these are amazing


http://store.americanapparel.co.uk/en/men-s-dancing-shoe_danceshem?c=Black

Great prices on basic kit..probably ok for us oldies but its like looking at a website for clothing from the year 2000.....

Install Netscape guys!

Thanks OP. Great deal.

Don't care much for the clothes but some of the photo's gave me a great laugh. Half look like they're about to cry and half look stoned.

This site is hilarious http://store.americanapparel.co.uk/en/poly-mesh-football-jersey_h418?c=Cardinal poor guy

​Hahahaha that is brilliant, legend

Past two orders I have placed got cancelled saying they were unfortunately out of stock..yeah righto

terrible looking clothes! Even the models look depressed lol

heat added just for the website being extra salty

how can we be sure that this is a legit site and not a scam/phishing webpage set up by some sneaky hackers who can't afford to get proper models? I mean the 'models' on that page (including dogs) look so miserable that i start thinking that they are regular people who were somehow tricked into such weird photo-session.

p.s.i am just kidding but the site looks really unprofessional:)

You have a choice. Model the clothes or go down the salt mines..... oh no, the last job in the salt mines has gone. No wonder they look glum :stuck_out_tongue:

I've got it! They're all members of some weird cult.

Good find OP, Heat added :sunglasses:

They've cancelled my order twice now!!!

Website has crashed

Just had my order cancelled twice as well. They clearly don't have the stock. Absolute joke, waiting till 11:00 to speak to Customer Services.

got my order cancelled as well.

The models are actually zombies just put there to use their mad stares to make you buy this stuff - i'm not sure any of them read this warning and just put on their dancing shoes

WARNING: This product may contain a chemical known to the state of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm.The color Ivory exceeded the limit for Lead and Phthalate within requirements in Prop 65 and cannot be sold in California

Hot for the price but I really don't rate the quality of their stuff. I have had a couple of hoodies from AA and they both shrank, bobbled and misshaped. This was a few year back mind, so I've ordered a couple of things, hopefully quality has improved. :smiley:

Thanks so much OP! Good sale. Ordered £85 of things...maybe got a bit too excited. I hope I can get away with the sparkly jumper. It did say unisex...

Click the link and one of the first items to appear is a nude bikini for kids.

I thought American apparel had filed for bankruptcy?

The models don't look overly impressed.

​Thanks for the tip. I went for a couple of lightweight black hoodies so I doubt very much they'll be 100% cotton. Didn't check. Will keep in mind for the future

Ordered a bunch of plain t-shirts and hoodies last week, shame their communication isn't the best. Apparently my order was shipped last Friday by RM Recorded delivery yet they can't tell me the tracking number.

Clothes and models look like they're from an 90's catalogue to me!

Hot for the price if you like that look though :smirk:

Most miserable bunch of models ever

For those who ordered how long did your stuff take to arrive?

Anybody returned anything? Do you have to pay postage? I usually have to order L and XL to see what actually fits.

Hmmmm... Mine was shipped May 3rd and still not received

I ordered may 3rd and I got a text this morning from royal mail saying my package has been delivered- unfortunately I'm not back home until next week so I won't be able to comment on the quality till then.

Thanks... So shipped from within the UK.. I thought maybe it was U.S. And was wondering if it'd been stopped at customs

I was about to ask if anyone has received their orders.

Mine shipped May 3rd RM 1st class Recorded but I've yet to receive it.

GET15 code doesnt work

I thought I had submitted an order a few days ago but checking my emails seems I never received an order confirmation, just a thank you for signing up to their mailing list......anyone else had this?

I phoned them up checking the status of my order. Email stated 1st class recorded - dispatched 3rd May.
Customer services told me that item is shipped from U.S. and only gets a tracking no when it gets to UK. They told me they would email me again when in U.K.

Looking forward the huge customs charges now that I know it's being shipped from the USA...

Anyone else received their order? Comments?

That's their internal shipping, shouldn't be any customs charges for us.

Still not received mine (sent on 3rd May), was apparently sent using Royal mail first class recorded/signed for, but no tracking number supplied.

If it was really sent using RM first class then it would have arrived already.

It's frustrating that they send from the US without making it very clear. I ordered clothes for going away on holiday thinking they were a UK site. They are not going to arrive in time which means having to buy more clothes on the High St tomorrow.
I emailed them asking about delivery and they said 5-7 working days. I also asked about import duties but they ignored that question.

is been 7 days still haven't receive it... anyone same?

I phoned them too today... 5-7 working days.. Coming from the States.

Means it should be here by Thursday

Recieved my 2 hoodies and fleece on saturday, nice big box

Still waiting on mine after enquiring about the delivery as showing RM 1st on 3rd May. Like others just now find out about shipping from USA.

7 days and still no clothes ... :confused:

nothing for me yet either:(

My order arrived this afternoon - I placed the order exactly a week ago and got the order dispatch last Tuesday evening.

There is no indication on the packaging that it was delivered from the States, so I suspect it was delivered from the UK and delivery is just a bit slow.

Extremely pleased with my order of 7 different garments and sizing is spot on (medium size for a lean 6 foot male). Ideally, I don't want any shrinkage, but I fear that some of the items will become too snug when washed.

Many thanks to the OP for posting the deal.

What happens, typically, is, they bulk send orders in a batch to the UK, then once landed in the UK and customs-cleared it moves to the final delivery to customers.

As for shrinkage, I've never had any issues with their stuff. Only had their 2001 t-shirts and Flex hoodies, though.

Same. My 25% uni days code didn't seem go go through either after checking bank balance and adding up. Will ring tomorrow

Sorry meant 20%

Got my £55ish order today, all seems nice. I'm 6' but slim and the mediums seem about perfect. I ordered one t-shirt in large and it is fine but mediums look better. I'm also hoping for no shrinkage, but we'll see!

Discount codes don't work with sale items unfortunately

Got a text from Royal Mail today that they have a delivery for me from American Apparel, so I guess it should be here soon. Finally.

Ordered an item from American Apparel on the 4th of May and was told it shipped the 5th of May. Still haven't received it even though it was sent by Royal Mail 1st Class Recorded. Does it normally take this long? Won't be ordering from here again if I'm in a hurry! :confused:

It did at the time of the deal, I ordered 3rd May and for example one item "MT497 - Salt and Pepper Zip Hoodie" is £14 on the site but I paid £11.90 after using the code.

Well it's not supposed to work!

Ordered on the 3rd, shipped on the 4th and still haven't received my order. Must admit it has put me off using them again. I assumed they have a UK warehouse and hadn't realised the stuff comes from America. It would be helpful if you could track your parcel as 6 working days after shipping is quite a while and you have no way of knowing if your package is in a warehouse or been delivered to the wrong address.

Received my order today all good, was listed as being despatched by royal mail signed for, but delivered by dpd courier.

Just received my 3 fleece hoodies. Really thin with strings of thread here and there, pretty crap. And the zip is on the wrong way round! Are these free returns?

I'm glad i didnt order, it's probably equivalent to B-Wise

Just received my order this morning. Really pleased with the stuff and the sizing is spot on, should have ordered more!

received it today. t-shirts and hoodies have very plain design and are made of very thin material. was not sure about the sizes so ordered 1 size bigger so everything is very loose, will probably return it. they have an option 'return to store' so will avoid postage fee:)

Still haven't got mine yet.

Mine hasnt arrived yet either, my friend got his today ordered at the same time :disappointed:

I've got mine through DPD. The quality is not great to be fair, but they were cheaper than a dust cloth so :smiley:, all good.

With these poor reviews not sure if I want my package to turn up or be lost and get a refund. I checked online about the quality, never having bought AA before, and most reviews were very good, so I'll be disappointed if the stuff turns out to be poor quality. Wonder who buys it at full price in the shops if the quality is poor? Same people who buy full price Hollister stuff I suppose. Thank goodness I paid Primark level prices.

Mine finally arrived. The cheaper hoodies are a bit thin but seem good for summer. A couple of strands of cotton on the neck of one but the rest are fine. Quite pleased with them really.

My stuff finally arrived this afternoon. Ordered on the 3rd, arrived on the 13th. Quality wise, I would agree with the recent comments - the t shirts and hoodies are thin, but stitching quality OK. The sizing seems a bit random in that ones of the same size clearly aren't, some Large certainly being larger than others. I ordered an xl hoody and it's huge. Possibly xxl Americans like to think they are a bit smaller.

Overall, I'm happy for £3 a t shirt, which as I said previously is Primark prices, and these are better than Primark. I think I hoped they would be heavier cotton though. I think I would be very disappointed if I'd paid £16 for one as they don't feel like an expensive garment. But at least they aren't made in sweat shops (supposedly).

If you want heavy cotton white t shirts, you can't beat the Kirkland own brand sold in Costco at about £12 for three. Shame they aren't available in more colours.

Also got mine today but TWO of the shirts out of the four i ordered had defects and the sizing is inconsistent even though the quality is good. Dissapointed but emailed them, we'll see what happens

Thought it was free returns?

My thoughts: I bought a few jogging bottoms (for inside the house) and a few tshirts and hoodies. I made sure I only bought the 100% cotton ones and the quality is absolutely fine for the price I paid, wouldn't have paid the full price though.

I bought one of each size though as I didn't know what their sizes were like. I could swear it said FREE RETURNS in the top right hand corner of the website, which has now disappeared, but it now appears you have to pay return postage yourself.

Oh and why are the zips on the wrong side?! :smile:

Jesus, how big is your house?

I got my parcel via RM. But it took one week. So i am not sure if its 1st class... anyway they shipped from London shop. Everything without tags and without plastic bags. Just got mine stuff inside big envelope..
I didnt get shoes but they mention that it will be resend to me. So what abt return because i have one size hoodie. I am size s and this hoodie is to small on my chest.. so i dont think so its a one size (they wrote down size s-l can fit).

anyone know if you can return to American apparel stores ?

hoodies are a bit big on me

Im sure it said free returns..

It did.

I'm waiting for a reply to my email asking them about it.

Im sure it said free returns..

ooops double post. Waiting on a reply here also...

Considering I am a size large, the hoodies felt like a xl on me, ah well decent quality for the price I paid :smile:

You can create a free Royal Mail returns label here: http://www.royalmail.com/track-my-return/create/841

Glad that it's not just me who found that the t shirts are small but the hoodies are huge. As mentioned they come without tags or bags, badly folded - had to iron my t shirts and hoodies before they were wearable. Mine arrived loose in a cardboard box. Shame the sizes are all over the place but good for the price.

So has anyone succesfully got an email reply or returned it?

Yes, they replied to my email and provided the link to the Royal Mail's site to create a free label, which I've posted above.

I kept the hoodies but returned a few other bits, cause i paid by paypal i had to return my stuff by post, i paid for second hand postage and enclosed a receipt for it in the parcel along with my returns form as instructed, apparently they will refund it to me along with my clothing refund, dont imagine i will get it any time soon tho.

Why didn't you just create the free RM label?

I bought XL, thinking large will be small and it is massive :disappointed:
