I never really cared about the brand all that much when it was "hot", but I pick up an AA shirt at the thrift store every so often for a couple of bucks. It's pretty quality stuff so I don't complain
Fun essay. We all went through crazy shit as teens and it's kind of funny to see trends and fads come and go.
Nothing wrong with a secondhand score! It’s ethical consumption. All else aside, AA did live up to the fair labor/wages/trade mission that the company was founded upon. Hired paperless immigrant workers and provided them with fair wages, safe working conditions, healthcare, English lessons, etc. So you could at least feel good about at least the way the clothes were made. The rest of it is a little more complicated.
I grabbed this book as soon as I saw this post. I worked at a screen printing shop around this time and we were all obsessed with AA.
Aw cool! Glad I influenced you! It’s a really entertaining read. Curious to hear your take.
