A tottaly awesome clothing store for people who actually have a sense of style and know a little bit about how to dress themselves,oh and how could I forget, people who know what's in and hott. Punks and goths claim that Abercrombie and Fitch is an overpriced "prep" store, but really are insecure about themselves. They all claim that Abercrombie is too expensive, when if you walk into Hot Topic and pick up a pair of black, baggy, chained jeans, you see that they cost just as much as a pair or Abercrombie jeans. 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.
Cool Guy with sense of Style who knows how to dress himself: Wow, A&F rocks!
Tottaly Hott Abercrombie Chick:Oh, I know, now lets makeout!

The world's most popular clothier for young males who are gay, or thinking of becoming gay. Bruce Weber, the iconic gay commercial photographer and protegy of legendary subliminal master J.C. Leyendecker, even employs John Wayne's offspring (son and grandson) as erotic lures for the brand. No wonder every fratboy and fratboi is wearing the stuff. It's hard to belive the company that today mainstreams playful homosexual escapism to white middle American mall and gym rats started out as a sporting goods store famous for selling rugged outdoor escapism to rich white paunchy middle-aged American power players. Teddy Roosevelt outfitted his safaris with A&F gear, and Hemingway may have even bought the gun he blew himself away with from them. Now the only guns featured in the catalogs are those that get blown during rush week.
I found a musty old Abercrombie and Fitch sporting goods catalog in my grandfather's rolltop desk. It was carefully placed underneath a tin box full of hand-tied flys and next to a "Popular Mechanics" issue featuring a clean cut, crew-cut youth on the cover showing off his rather large model rocket.

A place where people (mainly the teen crowd) shop for clothes and stuff. Basically everyone on the planet shop there so usually you'll see a whole bunch of them sporting the exact same outfit. I say, why pay so much money to look exactly alike?
Note, I do not hate Abercrombie and Fitch because I can't afford it, oh no, I've bought jeans for twice the amount in places like Nordstrom's, BCBG, and bebe. I am also not fat, I'm a size 3. I dispise it because the people who shop there {well not ALL per sé) lack originality.
Seriously, if you're going to spend 85 bucks on jeans, why the heck would you apend it on a pair that like every other girl in America has?? Abercrombie is also selling sex which is disgusting especially since they have a younger fan base. If you don't believe me go ahead and type in Abercrombie & Fitch on google. Like they also have thongs for 7 year-olds! What the heck!?
I hate Abercrombie with a passion, and all those girls who think they're better than everybody else or richer just because they shop there need to be smacked.
Girl Number 1: OMG lool at this totally hot cami I just bought from Abercrombie and Fitch! Don't you just like love it!?
Girl Number 2: Hey, doesn't Mia have the same exact one?
Girl Number 1: Uh, who cares it's from Abercrombie!
another example
Girl 1: Like ohmigoodness look at this new shirt I got from Abercrombie!! Isnt it so hot!?
Girl 2: Um it looks like any other T-Shirt.
Girl 1: Um DUH! It has Abercrombie plastered over it in big letters so like everyone will know I shop here like!

abercrombie and fitch- est. 1892, A+F is a really great store. alot of people dont like it simply because they cant afford it. being a fashion lover my self, i happen to know that vintage is in. vintage is the main style at A+F. other people dont like it because they say that it is rascist. well on abercrombie.com you will see a mix of white, black, and mixed models. also i persomally am black and one of my cousins work there so there is no reason to hate something because you cant afford it (just go to the outlet because that's were my cousin works and you can get pants for $15.90 as much as you pay a cheap ass K-Mart and skirts for $6.90).
i just went to A+F and got this really cute mini!

I have written extensive explinations of each of the Abercrombie & Fitch areas, but before you read them, I wanted to say this: I am currently an employee of A&F and enjoy my position very much. I do not like to hear or read negative things about my place of employment, that is why I have written so extensively. I have just graduatated from high school and yes I was the "poplular kid", no I didn't play football, but I was a "prep" and not afraid to admit it. I believe in what the Abercrombie label stands for and that is why I purchase their merchandise and work in their store. I was not however, just friends with people who wear Abercrombie and Hollister. I was friends with the people I played sports with, most of whom wore Volcom, Hurley, Fox Racing, etc. I also graduated in the top 5% of my class which contained 450 students. This is why I wanted to clear up that not everyone who wears A&F clothing is "dumb, rich, a conformist", or otherwise. My position at A&F is "model", which I see as a huge responsibility. I have to represent our lifestyle as best as possible and I do so with pride. If you do not like the Abercrombie & Fitch lifestyle that is perfectly fine and up to you, but I do ask that you respect those who do find that this lifestyle is a way they would like to live their lives.
