    wasn't the Abercrombie fad like 10 years old....I remember it peaked around 2000-2005 and is pretty much dead now....

    I am surprised these stores are still in business, I rarely see customers in them

    I looked up their stock chart this morning, seems they are doing OK financially. I don't know where the money is coming from, but apparently it's there. Maybe guidos wear them and I don't hang out with enough guidos.

    I have some quality fishing and safari gear bought from Abercrombie from before WW2 lying in our old family home.

    It's fascinating how much a company can change from its roots. IBM, General Electric, A&F, etc. I wonder if the youth that purchase clothing from there know the storied history of the store.

    The old Abercrombie was a purveyor of fine sporting wear up until the company shut its doors in the 80s. A separate company bought the name in the 90s and the rest is history. Bleh...I wonder if we're going to see douchey Oldsmobiles in the future ;)

    A&F sucks.

    Generic shirts from no-name stores with cargos in the summer and levi's in the winter.

    That's where it's at.

    I would like a rule that anyone who wears "TapOut" clothes actually gets choked and arm barred.

    It's like that saying by the great philosophizer, " you know what I like about these highschool girls...."
    There will always be teens. They market to the 15-23 age group.

    I stopped wearing their brand around 2004.
    :p

    Not a fan of A & F clothes or style but their cologne "Fierce" is the bomb Shiznit.
