American manufacturing ain't over.
High quality, made in the USA, and totally affordable for a decent blank hoodie. The sizes are a bit limited, though, so if you're really small you might be swimming in these. Pro tip: They have a depop store where they list minor seconds. A good pla...

At the intersection of fair prices and high quality is Los Angeles Apparel (made in the USA). These guys do a variety of hoodie styles with different fabrics, but I've found them all to be great wardrobe staples. Pro tip: LA Apparel has a depop store...

Love your Carhartt but wish it were made in the USA. Check out Goodwear USA. This is a hoodie you'll have (and love) in your 90s. Not the cheapest option, but quality craftsmanship isn't cheap. Buy it for life.

I bought my husband a zip up hoodie from American Giant when my son was born in 2011. He still wears that same hoodie almost daily (not exaggerating). It's well loved, but still in great condition. I'm pretty sure he can't live without it at this poi...
American Giant
Origin is another proudly American brand with hoodies that range from comfort, fashion, to workhorse. I have and regularly wear the OG Heavy Hoodie and holy smokes is it worth the price. This isn't cheap material, design, or manufacturing and it show...

Jungmaven makes truly exceptional hemp blend clothing in the USA. I purchased a fair amount from this company over the years and it is a favorite in every category by every family member. The quality of the fabric and the local craftsmanship is refle...

Camber makes some of the sturdiest sweats I've ever come across. I have heard they have quality control and production woes of late, but I'd advise you to look for used Camber pieces. My 90s era sweats are still rock solid after 30+ years of regular ...

We can't do it all.
Nike makes some decent clothing, and their current club fleece line is my favorite of the bunch. Pro tip: There is literally no better hoodie for the price than a vintage Nike center logo. You can find them at a thrift shop near you if you're up for ...

Talentless makes surprisingly high-quality hoodies and sweatpants and has quietly become one of my favorite places to buy these items. They frequently offer deep discounts so absolutely do not spend full price for their clothing.

Vuori hit mainstream popularity with their iconic joggers, but they make pretty darn good sweats as well. I've had better luck with the longevity of their fabrics vs. lululemon, so I'm spending my money here.

If a trendy vibe is what you're after, I'm a big fan of Fear of God for a great blend of street style and quality at a reasonable price. Bonus, super popular option if you happen to have a teenaged hoodie afficionado in the house.

Carhartt is a workwear brand that stands the test of time. I have a Carhartt hoodie from the 90s that has taken a beating and is still the one I reach for when I'm working outside. My personal favorite line is the WIP (Work in Progress) thanks to stu...
