Abercrombie and Fitch started out as a hunting, fishing, safari, camping,and outdoor store in New York City in the 1800's. It was originally Abercrombie, but eventually David Abercrombie partnered with a man named Ezra Fitch,a regular customer and lawyer, thus forming Abercrombie and Fitch. Over the years, Abercrombie and Fitch became one of the nations largest sporting goods suppliers, in fact, it even outfitted Charles Lindbergh for his historic flight across the Atlantic in 1927. In 1978, Abercrombie is bought by Oshman's sporting goods. In 1988 it was sold to another company,The Limited. By this time, it had become the Abercrombie that we know today, selling clothing. It became a dormant company for a few years and then was spun off from The Limited and became it's own company again, Abercrombie and Fitch. It made a come back and became popular nationwide. Today Abercrombie and Fitch owns several other clothing companies, Hollister Co.,Abercrombie(the kids version of Abercrombie and Fitch), and Ruehl 925, a small clothing store based in New York City's Greenwich village. It is slowly expanding into several other cities.
Today A&F has 363 Abercrombie and Fitch stores,176 Abercrombie stores,249 Hollister Co. stores, 4 Ruehl 925 stores, making a tottal of 792 tottal stores across 4 brands.
Soon it will be opening 3 more Ruehl 925 stores.

Brand of clothing that is popular among high school jocks, college frat kids and other unpretentious people.
Hipsters and emo fans hate it because the conformity and perceived airheaded-ness of Abercrombie shoppers reminds them of what they try to avoid becoming, but end up as anyway.
Abercrombie and Fitch is apart of a form of clothing style that is sucessful because it doesn't completely revolve around a music genre, thus causing all the scene kiddies to revile this type of clothing.
Abercrombie shoppers may not be the most original or stylish people in the world, but neither are you.
Note: I don't wear Abercrombie; I just find that bashing people's preference in clothing to be shallow and petty. Wear what you want.

An American clothing chain which caters to young adults, mainly the college aged crowd. They sell vintage styled clothing, including ripped jeans and faded shirts. Considered to be of "All-American" East-Coast style. They also own Hollister Co. and Ruehl No 925.
However, there are some points that need to be made:
Firstly, A&F is not truly preppy. Try Lacoste, Polo etc, not to mention the bright colored clothing preps may wear (i.e pink, lime shirts etc)
Secondly, A&F is not overpriced (in terms of all clothing). European fashions will cost you at least 2x as much for a similar item at A&F. A&F isnt really designer clothing, persay. Want expensive jeans? Try dishing out $200 for diesel or even $400 for Dolce and Gabbana.
Bottom line: If you dont like A&F, then dont wear it.
Abercrombie and Fitch: Casual Luxury

a store that sells clothes that are pretty plain. a store that is also smart enough to survive on little or no advertisement and gets its name out through its customers. a little overpriced but considering the fact that pretty much everything, except the thrftstore, is overpriced thats not really an excuse to hate the place. besides, you cant hate a group of people just because they dont fit your criteria for 'creative' and 'original' with their fashion. honestly, youre probably not too creative if all you do with your time is make fun of this store. go color or something.
I do not shop at Abercrombie and Fitch because even if I had the sudden desire I could not drive to the mall because my lack of automotive transportation.

A place where people buy clothes, just like where all of the "original", "non-conformist", "different", people go. It is expensive...but if its not your money, why do you care so much? You say you want to be your own person...but you and i know there are a million people out there who say that, and hang out in groups together, listen to the same music, like the same things and clothes. You are discriminating against a group of people who spend alot of money on clothes...wow, just a little condescending if you ask me? If these people want to wear the clothes then let them, hating someone because they wear different clothes is just lame.
"non-conformist": "hey, look at those stupid preps, i don't think i've ever talked to that guy, but he looks DUMB, and he wears that GAY polo shirt, what a FAG."
"friend": "yea, i know, look at them all and their expensive clothes, i hate them because they wear them, why can't they be individuals like us...by the way, i like your black shirt and pants, they look just like mine."

A clothing store. PERIOD! It is nothing more, I do not wear Abercrombie but I want to point out that this argument is utterly ridiculous. You all have turned urban dictionary into a forum. If you don’t like Abercrombie there is no reason to hate people who wear it. For everyone who is against it because it is a sign of conformity and you wish to be outside the crowd, I have news for you, you have opted to join another crowd, and I assure you that the teens who wear this logo, except for " prissy rich girls " (hey, everyone has their qualms), have nothing against you. I know many "rich" kids who opt not to wear this brand. If you think that you are the bigger person, because you can think freely and not buy this brand, keep in mind that by ridiculing people who choose to wear the Abercrombie logo you are thus proving your ignorance to everybody who reads your post. Not to mention you are going against your free thinking beliefs because you know that 5 minutes before you posted this your and your free thinking buddies were just repeating stereotypes about Abercrombie wearers that you picked up from some schmuck you met last week in the basement of a local church while listening to the new up and coming trendy emo band. Instead of telling all of us how bad you think you have it why don’t you wipe the shit out of your eyes and take a look at the flyers posted in the basement of the church that you just heard your favorite local band play and get off your ass and do something, like feed the homeless because you cant have it that bad seeing as you have a computer, an internet connection and enough free time to post these unpleasant explanations about Abercrombie and their marketing antics.
emo kid 1- Hey instead of descrimintating against people who wear certain genres of clothing, why dont i go try to make a difference on this planet?
emo kid 2- thats too hard, this is much more entertaining
emo kid 1- yeah, your right! Hey look at that Abercrombie faggot!
