NOT COPYING ABERCROMBIE AND FITCH!!!
eatablished in early 1900's took current form (casual clothing) in 1977 (note: that is why many of their items have "77" on them)
by this time Abercrombie and Fitch was still a sporting goods store and then started selling clothes in 1988.. :::comments??myspace.com/ pnaicolada:::

a store for usually preppy people. they have good quality clothes for an okay price. often compared to a&f and hollister, but its actually in some ways alot different. for one thing their smalls are like a large at abercrombie.(no offense to abercrombie or anything, but it is true)
i get like all of my clothes at american eagle

a store that people like to talk shit about, apparently.

their clothes are cute, a lot of the time. they're not the best made clothes in the universe, but they're not bad either. they can be a little more than i can afford sometimes, but if that's the case, there's always the clearance rack.

really, when it comes down to it, they're just clothes. you're probably missing out on meeting a lot of cool people if you judge people by what they wear
"oh my god, look, that girl is wearing american eagle. she thinks she's preppy, but really she just can't afford abercrombie and fitch"

"um, really? who cares."

Just a clothing brand.
- No we aren't trying to be preps or someother label
- No it's not a wannabee abercrombie, If I wanted Abercrombie I would buy it
- Yes, I'm aware people hate AE, good for them, I don't like everything they wear but I don't bitch about it

Ever think that we wear it because its comfortable and like the way it looks?
Idiot: Your a fake prep, if you had money you would be abercrombie not American Eagle!

AE wearer: Why are you putting lables are people? and If I wanted Abercrombie I would buy it, and trust me I have enough money to wear Abercrombie, I just like AE better. Their just clothes.

Kickass shop usually found in malls. A shop with preppy-style shirts, but who gives a fuck. Their shirts are awesome, hilarious, and you can get some for half the price of Abercrombie's shirts. People that diss this shop are (1.)fucking retarded, (2.)havent even been there, (3.)or they just hate an asshole that happens to be a "Prep", so they stereotype all preps.
Look at that fuckin awesome shirt from AE!

its funny how ppl are saying, real preps were polo and lactose, and American Eagle is just a poser brand. Did you ever think that people don't buy the clothes because they wanna be a prep? Maybe they buy the clothes because they like the way they look *gasp* thats a new concept
Prep: Oh my gawd, your a American Eagle poser, your not wearing lactose.

AE Wearer: Maybe I'm not trying to be a prep, maybe its stupid paying a lot of money for clothes, when a cooler cheap alternative is right in front of you
