introduced its sweatpants as part of an effort to expand its range of U.S.–made essentials.

History
American Giant was founded in 2011 with an emphasis on reviving American manufacturing. While the company became widely known for its Classic Hoodie—sometimes called the “Greatest Hoodie Ever Made”—it later expanded into sweatpants to complement its growing casualwear line.

Most versions are produced using materials sourced and manufactured in the United States, consistent with the brand’s supply-chain principles.
