The weather has been brutal this winter ranging from below freezing to spring like sunshine. On those exceptionally chilly days, this particular piece of apparel has saved me from frostbite. I’m not really sure if I would have gotten frostbite, but I recently saw the movie Everest. A movie based on a true story of the climbers that experienced a deadly storm as they scaled Mount Everest. Watching the movie was enough of a terrifying experience, let alone actually enduring that type of treachery on your body. Anyway, after seeing the film, I definitely do not want frostbite.
I read several articles featuring this company that specialized in quality made clothing, more specifically hoodies. American Giant, was founded in 2011 and has developed a superior brand both in quality and customer service. They believe in manufacturing in the U.S. keeping costs down by eliminating elevated marketing budgets and building multiple storefronts.
Typically, a hoodie is not a winter wardrobe staple of mine. Hoodies can be oversized and unstructured. However, the hoodies from American Giant, like the classic full zip, is made with the highest quality cotton with reinforced elbow patches and tailored for the perfect fit. The classic fit is warm and soft, adding an insulated layer underneath your coat.
I chose to wear this fabulous zippered hoodie in Phantom Grey with a pair of navy cargo pants from H&M and a brightly colored scarf.
