What to know about Los Angeles Apparel
American Apparel's founder, second attempt
Dov Charney started the label in 2016 after being ousted from American Apparel, and still runs it as founder and CEO of a privately held, independent company.
Everything is sewn in-house
Design, cutting and sewing all happen at one South Central Los Angeles facility, which employed around 1,500 workers as of 2022, using US-made yarns and textiles.
Blanks pricing, heavyweight cotton
The core is heavyweight tees, fleece, thermals, bodysuits and underwear, sold direct-to-consumer and as wholesale blanks for printing, which keeps prices low.
