abercrombie & fitch

Purveyor of clothing. Abercrombie sells a lifestyle image that is popular with teens and young adults, a fickle crowd that no other retailer has captured as well as Abercrombie. Emphasis on outdoor activities, premarital sexual relations, and looking pensive are stitched throughout their advertising. Unlike Gap/Banana Republic, J. Crew, Express, and other competing mall retailers, Abercrombie's clothing is much thicker and made of higher grade materials and finishing; the caveat is that they "weather" their clothing for a vintage look - clothing that could be the longest lasting on the market is instead sold tattered, torn, frayed and full of holes. Their are two premiums to pay: one, for the heavier materials and more stringent checking for defects; and two, for the privilage of wearing such nice clothing that has already been broken-in at the factory.

Is that Abercrombie you're wearing? Why, I can tell you are somebody of discriminating taste who does not have time to wear out his own clothing. Me too.

Abercrombie & FItch

Abercrombie & Fitch (A&F) is an American clothing retailer. It was founded in 1892 by David T. Abercrombie that originally had been an outfitter of sporting and excursion goods. Because of it's financial struggles in the late 1960s it was sold in 1988 to The Limited and repositioned, under the management of Michael S. Jeffries (current Chairman & CEO), as the new over priced, obvious and generic prep store that's most recognized by it's large posters and photographs of "heterosexual" mostly naked jocks wrestling with one another in fields.

Child: mommy, why are those two men wrestling naked on T.V.? Mother: !!!! Uhh... (runs in front of T.V.) those are just models for Abercrombie and Fitch. Person 1: What a ridiculous store. Person 2: What? I don' see Abercrombie & Fitch anywhere.

Abercrombie & Fitch

Bad clothing store which used to be off the charts back in the day. They actually used to make things in the US and sell cool camping equipment and high quality clothes and guns too. Now, it's crap clothing produced by unfair outsourcing and used as a tool of teens who think they're preppy and hot to lord it over on their peers. Brooks Brothers dressers are actually TRUE preps and Brooks is still made in America, partially, unlike A & F. (And no the Marianas don't count!) Ezra and David roll over in their graves every time someone walks into Abercrombie and gets blown out by the overpowering music and otherwise un-oldfashionedness. Also, they have bad customer service, and the clothes aren't cut for big girls on purpose, and they rip. They are CRAP!

John bought a button-down oxford shirt from Abercrombie & Fitch in 1981. It still looks good today. He bought a similar shirt in 2008 and it was in shreds by 2009, so not even Goodwill would accept it.

Abercrombie & Fitch

People usually relate the store Abercrombie with toned preps. Yes, this is what the company hopes to achieve. Abercrombie is a store [like] all others. Its just one of the more upscale mall stores. It's less expensive sister store Hollister targets the West Coast audience. With its bright colors and surf appeal. Abercrombie on the other hand is designed for the East Coast preps. With a majority of their clothes being navys, gray and whites their motto is casual luxury. Which it is. The [Chanel] of the mall; Abercrombie sells its clothes at a higher price then most other mall stores such as [American Eagle] and Aeropostale. Abercrombie also targets a smaller sized audience. American Eagle and Aeropostale's sizes run bigger and come boxey-er that Abercrombie which makes their clothing [long] and lean. Many people dislike Abercrombie for just that. But, this is unnecessary. There is no reason to complain about Abercrombie's lack of large sizes and expensive clothes. If you have a problem; just don't shop there. Many also find it degrading that Abercombie only hires workers that are attractive as their models. This is because they are models in a sense. They're hired not only to provide assistance to customers but to also show those same customers how Abercrombie's clothes look on. They're attractive because the models are attractive. Because that's what Abercrombie targets. The college student who is a toned, tanned [beauty]. Though, most customers are actually middle and high school students. Many people don't [like] Abercombie because of its mentality of wealthy, beautiful preps. Because it is for skinny rich people. Well, take it somewhere else. Getting angry about a store is stupid. It's not [like] its really offending you. So [maybe] you can't shop there because you're too big. Well, they have stores for just big people and nobody gets all pissed at them. It's because people are jealous. People also think people who shop at Abercrombie are label obsessed. Because they're able to afford 75 dollar jeans with the signature abercrombie design on the back pockets. Or, the [moose] stitched to each shirt. Well, [maybe] they are. People today [like] identities. Those who shop at Abercrombie do it because they [like] the way the clothes look and feel; and they're proud of it so they show it off by the Abercrombie emblems. And [maybe] they are wealthy skinny people. But,just because they are and just because they shop there, doesn't mean they're snobs or think less of those who can't shop there. Everyone needs to leave Abercrombie and its loyal customers alone. Get a new hobbie. [Maybe] you could attack [Hot Topic] for selling clothes for emo people. Or Torrid for only selling plus sizes. God, clothes give people identities. And they're about who YOU are. Each store sells to meet peoples needs. So please, just leave Abercrombie alone.

Abercrombie & [Fitch] targets the [young], wealthy [person] who is toned, tan and stylish.
