American Giant is a USA-made apparel company committed to quality and American manufacturing, and Polartec is a leading innovator in fabric development, with manufacturing in the USA. The brands have come together to produce a versatile performance jacket. By using [Polartec® Power Stretch® Pro™ fabric](https://www.polartec.com/fabrics/base/power-stretch-pro), American Giant has been able to evolve their product offering and create a product that looks like a premium cotton sweatshirt with the increased comfort and durability of a technical fabric. The stretchy and highly breathable fabric features a warm, plush, moisture-wicking interior, with a smooth and soft yet highly abrasion-resistant exterior. The [Atlas Fleece Jacket](https://www.american-giant.com/collections/polartec-lp) brings the demanding fabrications required by the outdoor industry into the modern work environment. American Giant is the made-in-USA apparel brand behind the “greatest hoodie ever made.” The company was founded in 2011 in a moment of opportunity: where the dissatisfaction with the apparel industry’s relentless march toward cheap global supply chain and abandonment of America’s manufacturing communities met with the internet, ecommerce, and manufacturing innovation. American Giant jumped in, confident in the belief that consumers wanted a choice and that there were still enormous possibilities in America’s factories. American Giant makes simply designed, premium clothing for men and women with the highest standards of quality. Approaching each garment meticulously, they ensure high quality materials, fabric, design details, and stitching. The brand is reinvigorating the great tradition of American sportswear, while investing in domestic farmers and communities. Share.
