Do you wash your hoodies very often?
My t-shirts never really pill, and I have a good amount of tees and hoodies from AA.
Do you put them in the dryer?
Chemicals (detergent and softener), # of regular washes, and wear will always cause all clothing to pill.

I don't wash my hoodies very often, maybe once or twice a month, depending on how often I wear them..

Unless your clothes get heavily soiled.. try doing your laundry under the "light' option, with less detergent. I find even the "normal" setting is overkill.

You could always try depilling with a razorblade..

The higher end brands probably won't pill as fast, but ultimately they still will.
