What owners say
An owner who paid full price for the same black moto jacket calls it great style with the perfect weight and says American Giant's stuff does indeed last ages. Another commenter, reacting to OP's thrifted find, calls the jacket fantastic. A more critical reply says American Giant is 'alright' but jokes that the brand puts too much cotton in its shirts.

An American Giant moto jacket... I have been hoping to find one while thrifting for years and I was so excited to finally find one!
That moto jacket is also fantastic!
I love it--great style and the perfect weight. Their stuff does indeed last ages.
American Giant is alright, but they can't seem to figure out that no one outside of Utah needs so much cotton in a shirt
