Yes, you can still buy American Apparel, as brand still exists and sells clothing online, though no longer has physical stores and is now owned by Canadian company Gildan Activewear, operating as online-only brand. American Apparel, founded 1989 in Los Angeles, California, by Dov Charney, known for made in USA basics like t-shirts, hoodies, leggings, filed bankruptcy in 2015 and 2016, closing all stores. In January 2017, Gildan Activewear, Canadian company headquartered in Montreal, Canada, bought American Apparel brand and intellectual property for 88 million dollars at bankruptcy auction, but did not buy stores or LA factory, closing all 110 remaining stores and LA manufacturing. Gildan relaunched American Apparel as online-only brand at americanapparel.com, selling basics like t-shirts costing $15 to $30, hoodies $30 to $60, leggings $20 to $40, now made in Honduras and Nicaragua, not made in USA anymore, though designs similar to original, with focus on e-commerce and wholesale, available for purchase online at americanapparel.com and at some retailers like Amazon. So yes, you can still buy American Apparel, online at americanapparel.com, with brand continuing as online retailer owned by Gildan, selling basics, though not made in USA and no physical stores, but still available for purchase online.
