A store which makes people feel extremely self conscious if they are not anorexic (girls) or if they don't have six-packs (boys). Their clothes are skimpy and a "large" is a medium, a "medium" is a small, a "small" is a x-small and so on.
To put it simply: If you don't like stores where people stare at you for being more than skinny/buff and feel that $30 is too much to pay for a t-shirt, don't come here.
Skinny Girl #1: Oh my God, look at that loser over there. Can she even afford any of the stuff at Abercrombie & Fitch?
Skinny Girl #2: I know, right? She looks like she weighs more than 110 pounds, which is like SO overweight.
Normal Girl: looks around nervously and runs out of the store.

Or Aryancrombie and Fitch, is a place where you find the whitest, blondest, fakest people possible working there.
A place where you buy, for about $50, a t-shirt that is thin enough to see through and has been ripped. A lot. Before you buy it and do it yourself. Same for jeans.
A place that makes you laugh at the absurdity of it all.
"Hey guys, look! They're opening up a new Abercrombie & Fitch store!"
"Ooooooooo, Caucasia-wear!! Let's go!!Aryancrombie, here we come!!"

The place where you go to get clothes (and, if your gay, you can lust over the half-naked male models on the wall... and right in front of the door... and on the bag... but if your not gay then its just kind of scary with all the male models staring at you the whole time your in the store) that cost twice as much as they should. Maybe that's because you get your shirts smelling exactly the same as the ENTIRE STORE smells. Or because there's cloth handles on the bag. Big whoop.
Gay guy: I just looove how there are so many posters with half naked guys on them in this store!
Straight dude: How come there are so many half naked dudes in Abercrombie & Fitch? That's just queer.
That other guy: Ooh, cloth handles!

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 (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.

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.

A uselessly expensive clothing brand that I have a couple of shirts from, primarily to get pussy.
That bitch is going to be at the party. Time to put on the Abercrombie & Fitch
