An American clothing retailer founded in 1892. The clothes are designed for college kids, aged 18-22, but many high schoolers wear it as well. Its main competitors are American Eagle Outfitters and Aeropostale. The brand is known for and highly criticized for its borderline-pornographic advertising. A&F has four subsidiary brands:
abercrombie kids - A prep school-themed store designed for children in the age group of 7-14. Essentially smaller, more age-appropriate A&F clothing. Also known as abercrombie (not to be confused with Abercrombie, the shortened name for A&F).
Hollister Co. - A California-themed store whose target age base is 14-18, the high schoolers. The only A&F brand to carry a body care line. Also known as Hollister.
RUEHL No.925 - An Greenwich Village-themed store designed for post-collegiates aged 22-35. It is also relatively unknown, with 27 U.S. locations. Also known as RUEHL.
Gilly Hicks - An Australian-themed store designed for women 18 and older. It offers underwear and loungewear. With 13 U.S. locations, it is the least known of the A&F brands.
Abercrombie & Fitch and its Hollister subsidiary are well-known in American public schools for their "preppy" natures.

Get the Abercrombified mug.I don't get why everyone is bitching, American Eagle, Hot Topic, Pac Sun in the end it's basically the same thing except a different style of clothing. The clothes are somewhat overpriced but their comfortable and are what's "in" now.
Abercrombie wearer: Ew look at those emos
Hot topic wearer: Ew look at those preps
Me: your both getting played, the stores are basically the same concept just one is more mainstream clothing while one trys to be unique and different.

Get the abercrombie mug.Yet another American company that sells clothes that were made in a sweatshop overseas then turns around and sells the items for ridiculous amounts of money. Now, don't get me wrong. I know there are much more expensive stores out there and that they probably have sweatshops as well. However, Abercrombie and Fitch were sued in the 1990's for unsatisfactory working conditions in their sweatshops in Saipan, a US territory. These violations included rat infested barracks (the places where the workers slept), locked fire exits (so that in case of a fire, the workers were trapped) and over 100 other health violations. Personally, i think that Abercrombie and Fitch is a stupid store, and it's not because i can't afford it, or am ugly, or whatever everyone who absolutely loves the store thinks. It's because of the products they sell (sexually oriented clothing, even for children) and the way they sell it (half naked models who are unhealthily thin). Plus, my sister and i both agree on this point, the stores I've always been in stink to high heaven.
oh, and for all of you abercrombie lovers out there who claim that everyone who hates it is ugly, please go listen to yourself and decide if you actually sound like someone who others would care to listen to.

Next time you put on that nice little minimum-material-required t-shirt from abercrombie and fitch, think about the kids that made that shirt making less than $1 dollar/hour. Yeah. have fun with that.

Get the Abercrombie and Fitch mug.A line of clothes just like other clothes that all of you buy. It isn't cheap, but then neither are designer jeans and neither is nordstrom so why are those ok and abercrombie isn't? The problem with abercrombie is that it is associated with a certain type of people. So by saying that only stupid blonde rich bitches shop at abercrombie, isn't that the same as when stupid blonde rich bitches say that someone is a loser because they are wearing similar clothes as last week?
"Original and non-Materialistic" person: "I hate that stupid blonde rich bitch."
Friend: "Why?"
"Original and non-Materialistic" person: "Because she wears abercrombie!"
Friend: "I thought you didn't care what people wear!"
"Original and non-Materialistic" person: "ummm... well... this is different... maybe?"
Friend: "Why?"

Get the ABERCROMBIE AND FITCH mug.Anyone who purchases a pair of pre-ripped jeans has a serious social problem. Anyone who refuses to cut through the clothing section in wal-mart to reach the food aisles in fear of being spotted and wrongly accused of shopping for clothes at wal-mart (anyone who regularly wears abercrombie shit rags) has a very serious social disorder. Get in school, learn to play an instrument, pick up a sport... do anything besides waste your time trying to fit in with the other assholes. NO, not everyone who wears abercrombie is a peice of shit... just about 90% of them.
There are two reasons to not shop at abercrombie:
1. You look like all the other frat assholes.
2. It's retarded to spend money on that shit that isnt worth it.
