That's why it costs $25 for a plain cotton t-shirt that you'd pay $10 for at Target.

News came yesterday that the company was sold and that Mr. Charny will remain Chief Executive. And in celebration of the holiday season (and because they need the money), American Apparel is offering big savings for all Christmas shoppers.
