I own both. The flint and tinder I find runs small. Very tight in the arms. Its shrunk overtime too. It is also a blend cotton poly blend. The hood is small and not something I use. I find it comfortable enough to go out in but, I've woken up to pull it off whenever falling asleep with it. It tends to ride up when zipped. American giants classic hoodie is roomie. Only slightly loose for me but, not overly baggy looking. I've knocked out wearing this on cold nights and slept through the night no problems. 100% cotton. Forearm to elbow patch. Huge hood. Nice heavy material.
Man watching this when the 10 year was only $98 and American Giant was $89 😭 American Giant now like $138 unless it’s on sale, and the specialty hoodies are even more than that
I am using one Grey color and the zip is the one I like most. More so it is cotton (synthetic materials do not suit me) and keep me warm in winter. I am 86 and am proud to buy one made in America.
I have the American Giant hoodie. I’ve had one for 10 years and it’s held up strong through lots of abuse. I recently started buying a bunch more new stuff and multiple new hoodies and the company is still amazing
Thank you for the review. I was looking at getting one for my husband. He is almost 6 feet and VERY thin. So I appreciate you mentioning at the end about being tall.
I hope he likes it! Both are great, but American Giant is definitely better for taller people. I'm 6'1", not exactly a basketball player, but tall enough to notice. Hopefully this hoodie works out for him!
The thing that I like most about my American Giant is the generous size of the hood. I have three of them, black, green and gray. Like you said the cut is different, but for me it is a plus because of my build. These are definitely going to appeal more to people with slimmer, or more muscular builds.They are coming out with flannel shirts soon, and I really look forward to those. Great video by the way, subbed.
I own both recently acquired my American giant hoodie. The flint and tinder was purchased several years ago and wore out after owning for a year and rarely wear it because it looks worn out vs broken in. American giant heavyweight feels quality and owned it a few months and really like it. Black seems to have already begun to fade after 2 washes. I hang to dry my jackets. The navy option seems to hold the color better.
I have both and agree with you on the American Giant- the cut is somewhat slimmer- just got the 10 year and hands down a way more comfortable fit and built to last!
I have an American Giant pull over sweatshirt that's built the same way as the hoodie. The fabric feels amazing and beefy and love the padded areas. It's more modern. If you have a belly, go with the F&T
I have both, in Colorado at 8k ft. No question at all, 10 year hoodie for warmth and layering (no space under my Amer Giant for layers. And the double layering isn't all over so there'scold spots) which is key if you're anywhere it actually gets cold (sorry Alabama).
@@hhjhj393 haha no offense taken--you weren't offensive anyway. Well I live in the southern half of Alabama, so it rarely snows. The last time it snowed here was about 5 years ago. lol. The northern parts of Alabama get more snow, though. I wouldn't mind if it snowed more often, but I am with you, I used to live in New England, and I also hate snowy winters.
I haven't had a chance to try Reigning Champ, though it's been on my radar for some time. But I will say F&T has some of the best products out there. Everything I've tried from them has been phenomenal.
American Giant is also fantastic, and their hoodie is really fabulous. I haven't tried anything else from AG, so I can't speak about their other products, but they seem to be another great high quality company.
I wish I would have seen this review before purchasing my American Giant goodie. U did a great job of describing it, and it really is amazing quality, but I personally don't enjoy the slim modern fit.
Fragrance Bros!!! I was actually looking into the Flint & Tinder one but wasn’t sure if it would make me look to “bulky” with my dad bod! Lol Also have you ordered and Buck Mason gear?
I like F&T a lot, but as with everything in fashion, sizes will look better on some than others. I really want to try Buck Mason! Haven't had the pleasure yet!
Ok so little late here, but I work in a dairy cooler at the moment while I'm in college, so will the American Giant hoodie keep me warm in a 40 degree cooler for 8 hours? Or should I look elsewhere
I'm not really sure. That's a very specific requirement and I haven't tested it in that way. I think that the American Giant hoodie is one of the nicest (and warmest) of the hoodies that I've tried, but it's not a replacement for a heavier jacket. But you can always layer if you need to.
I showed a good bit of footage of them on me, and how they fit. The fit will be different from person to person, so having a ton of footage about it isn't as helpful.
Love American Giant. Bought for the whole family. Have a couple of the "no hood" motorcycle models. This model is great as a layer under an unlined waxed jacket. Actually, if American Giant made a waxed jacket I "might" consider changing from my tried and true Filson Tin Cruiser for a fully Made in USA product.
I have both and the American Giant is hands down my go to. I think the F&T just feels like a slightly better quality version of your average hoodie and has more of the classic dumpy look. AG feels better and I think looks better. Both are good but I think the Made in America Quality aspect is over hyped. However, it’s worth paying extra to know your jacket wasn’t made by kids in a sweatshop.
Both of these are sewn way better than most of the 50 dollar type hoodies you can find anywhere.... the made in the USA thing doesn't always mean better but it generally means quality.
Do you have pets? Curious if one brand of hoodie picks up pet fur (or lint) worse than the other? Black clothes seem to attract every piece of lint and fur in the immediate vicinity. Also didn't know you could buy hoodies this expensive!
This American Made product, Flint and Tinder, is the finest made garment; Period !!! Made in America, hire American. Good video, but American Giant is not up to the Flint and Tinder standard.
Enjoyed the review...but I cannot stand hoodies. To me, the only things worse is some douche wearing his pants pulled halfway down his ass...LOL! Anyway, it is nearly impossible to find clothing that fits me property. I'm not a youngster, but I maintain my appearance in that my chest is 47" and my waist is 33"...so I cannot find much to fit property since now all men's clothing is now made for fat-fucks with moobs and 12" inch arms OR men that have anorexic bodies with not a single ounce of muscle. What and the hell has happened to our society? Ugh! I would love to see you review tuckless/untuck shirts because they look promising...but I'm afraid they will too will fit like crap and/or aren't worth the money. Would also love to find some beastmade clothing for men who look actually look like men: 10+ inch taper, muscular arms/back/shoulders. Where can I get beastmade shirts made from scratch and that actually fit? Thanks!
I have a similar problem. While my chest is smaller than yours, I find it hard to get clothes that look great off the rack most of the time. Ultimately, if we want the best fit, we just have to get them tailored. As for the untucked shirts, I do need to make a review of those. I have had good luck with the brand Untuckit.

I have an American Giant hoodie and personally hate the fit. It is plenty wide but not long.
I have both. American Giant is way more durable by far.
I own both.

I have the 10 year. Honestly could not be more happy with it. It’s rly warm, the fabric is sturdy and cozy, and it looks great.
Thank you for the review. I was looking at getting one for my husband. He is almost 6 feet and VERY thin. So I appreciate you mentioning at the end about being tall.

Awesome review Dave!!! Thanks!
Thank you for watching!
One of the best reviews I’ve seen for these hoodies! 👏🏻
Appreciate it!!
I’ve always worn American giant and wished it had an inside pocket. Maybe I’ll check out the F and T one
I have both, love them both. Different style for different occasions. American giant full storm hoodie light waterproof. Awesome.
Which style for which occasion??
I have some American Giant stuff and love it all! I'm not familiar with the other brand but it looks like a competitor.
Very happy with my F&T 10 year hoodie!
The thing that I like most about my American Giant is the generous size of the hood. I have three of them, black, green and gray.

thank you! Yeah, I really love the fit of American Giant, too. I am hoping to do a comparison of sweatshirts by these two companies soon.
Nice review. Excellent!
Thanks for watching!
thanks for the review man made my mind and think im gonna go with flint and tinder
Glad I could help!
I love my American Giant full zip hoodie. Only negative is the bottom near the waist is pretty tight, and I'm pretty thin (no belly).
I own both recently acquired my American giant hoodie. The flint and tinder was purchased several years ago and wore out after owning for a year and rarely wear it because it looks worn out vs broken in. American giant heavyweight feels quality and owned it a few months and really like it. Black seems to have already begun to fade after 2 washes. I hang to dry my jackets.

Thanks for sharing your experience!
Appreciate this video. I have an American Giant. I love the build quality but the bottom is too tight for me. Think I'll try the 10 year hoodie.

Have you tried AG's mechanic's jacket? I would love to see you review it.
Haven't tried it yet, but I really want to. Hopefully we can make a review of it soon.
I have an American Giant pull over sweatshirt that's built the same way as the hoodie. The fabric feels amazing and beefy and love the padded areas. It's more modern. If you have a belly, go with the F&T
Great review. Helped me make a decision. Do you do any decants?
😂 5in swatch of hoodie: $10

Have you by any chance tried Reigning Champ sweatshirts? And if you have how does their product compares to F&T and AG? Thank you for the video.

BeastMade Reviews Q
I wish I would have seen this review before purchasing my American Giant goodie. U did a great job of describing it, and it really is amazing quality, but I personally don't enjoy the slim modern fit.
Thank you for watching! The sizing is definitely tricky on that one.
I had both, the American Giant is definitely an slim fit. I actually gave my flint and tinder away. It fit but was just too boxy.
I agree with you
Fragrance Bros!!! I was actually looking into the Flint & Tinder one but wasn’t sure if it would make me look to “bulky” with my dad bod! Lol
Also have you ordered and Buck Mason gear?
I like F&T a lot, but as with everything in fashion, sizes will look better on some than others. I really want to try Buck Mason! Haven't had the pleasure yet!
BeastMade Reviews well I ordered the Grey F&T. I’ll see how it goes. If I don’t dig it I’ll return it and try the AG one. Lol
Well made vid! Sub'd
Looking for an American made brand to produce promotional products. Are either of these companies truly firearms friendly by written policy? Thanks!
I don't know about classic or modern looks... Which one makes me look most like a loaf of grey bread? That's t he one I want.
Hey its FragranceBros. I have the American Giant... How does the black dye hold up after some washes? I have the navy and it has faded somewhat.
I actually haven't washed it yet. I probably will wash it in Woolite Darks to preserve the color more
You should rip one and test out the warrenty for American Giant 👌
I might do that. 😛
Surprised that there was no mention of the... hoods. Did one fit better/bigger/etc. ?
I did mention the hoods for both. I said they were stiff, made with a lot of cloth, and warm. Very nice.
Heard the cuffs stretch out and go loose on the 10 year hoodie. Did you experience this as well?
Not with mine--at least not yet.
Arborwear looks great, but they supposedly make these for tree cutters? I guess it doesn't matter if I'm not a tree cutter :-)
Do you think the American giant zip up hoodie, thr classic one, could be worn as a middle layer? Or is it too thick to have a coat over it.
It's pretty thick. You might be able to depending on the jacket, but it's definitely a thicker hoodie.
Ok so little late here, but I work in a dairy cooler at the moment while I'm in college, so will the American Giant hoodie keep me warm in a 40 degree cooler for 8 hours? Or should I look elsewhere
I'm not really sure. That's a very specific requirement and I haven't tested it in that way. I think that the American Giant hoodie is one of the nicest (and warmest) of the hoodies that I've tried, but it's not a replacement for a heavier jacket. But you can always layer if you need to.
@@BeastMadeReviews Might be worth trying it out then, even if it isn't ideal in a cooler, could still use it for hiking and camping
Try arbor wear double amazing
Updated pricing October 2022: multiply original price x 2
When he started with "I'm from the south..." I was sure he would continue with "and a hoodie is considered formal wear.". 😂
My favorite hoodie was destroyed at work. Are these a loose fit or tight fit.
I would say F&T is a little more loose, and AG is a little more fitted
What color is yours?
the American Giant is Black (love their black) and the F&T is Navy.
Prices have reversed... the Giant is now 108 dollars in 2019... the Flint and Tinder are currently on sale for 80 dollars.
A lot of great info, but I would've liked to see more than a couple seconds of the hoodies on you to get a better visual of the fit
I showed a good bit of footage of them on me, and how they fit. The fit will be different from person to person, so having a ton of footage about it isn't as helpful.
Love American Giant. Bought for the whole family. Have a couple of the "no hood" motorcycle models. This model is great as a layer under an unlined waxed jacket.
Actually, if American Giant made a waxed jacket I "might" consider changing from my tried and true Filson Tin Cruiser for a fully Made in USA product.
the American giant has a lifetime warranty but they also say wear and tears isn't covered or part of the warranty so its kinda useless lol
dang.
I have both and the American Giant is hands down my go to. I think the F&T just feels like a slightly better quality version of your average hoodie and has more of the classic dumpy look. AG feels better and I think looks better. Both are good but I think the Made in America Quality aspect is over hyped.

I don't have pets. But I would imagine them to be equal for pet hair. Yeah, these are pricey but worth it! :D
You get what u pay for! Quality not Quantity
Great question, I was wondering the same
Arborwear....i rest my case.
That’s the third one I am considering.
They don’t make everything in USA any longer sad to see this
who doesn't?
BeastMade Reviews flint and tinder
as far as I'm aware, these are still made in the USA according to their website. I haven't seen anything from them that is made overseas.
BeastMade Reviews their 365 pants are no longer made in the USA they are made over seas
This American Made product, Flint and Tinder, is the finest made garment; Period !!! Made in America, hire American. Good video, but American Giant is not up to the Flint and Tinder standard.
I actually disagree. I think both are very high quality, just different.
Terrible review. I want to see the product. Do these at a table to show the product and not just you talking.
I'm not sure what video you watched, because I definitely show the products in this.
Enjoyed the review...but I cannot stand hoodies. To me, the only things worse is some douche wearing his pants pulled halfway down his ass...LOL!
