originally a hunting/outdoors store opened by David abercrombie in new york city on 1892. Ezra fitch a successful lawyer of new york joined later on to form abercrombie and fitch co. it expanded to be called in later years "the greatest sporting goods store in the world." in its best years it served presidents and celebrities with their outdoor activity needs. despite its success it went into financial problems in the 60's and official bankruptcy in 1977.
after that it went from hand to hand struggling until the limited acquired it and launched it as teen clothing store. current CEO mike Jeffries joined in the project in 1992 and started building the abercrombie and fitch we now know today. after its new acquired success its been involved in many controversies like the racist hiring and its preference for Caucasian costumers. it has changed the image of prep from a rich person to middle class high school and college students who care about their appearance. it is overpriced and maybe not the best quality clothing you can find but you can't deny that their clothes are amazing. their colors are great the way they match the outfits its always trendy classy and perfect and above all its worth the price.
now the real succesful key that every one should admire of mike jeffries and his marketing board is their great marketing campaigns where they spend very little because their market its the clothes people are wearing and of course what makes it so controversial "they sell sex" reffering to their great nearly naked shots of young models.
if you don't like the prices then i would invite you to please go all the way to the back where you can find great sells no matter what time of year it is. their $39.99 t-shirts you can find them for as low as $12.50. their $80 hoodies can be found at $30 their $200 jackets can be found at $50. so don't you fucking say they are overpriced if you haven't even looked at the sales. or if you are too afraid because if you think that people there will make fun of you which they WON'T then try their website <www.abercrombie.com> and find the little link that says clearance and you will be SURPRISED how low their prices are.

Get the abercrombie mug.People that don't like AF, go get a life. AF is prob one of the coolest stores I have ever been to. Their clothes are so tight, and they make girls look hot, and confident. If you don't like AF, you have a problem, ohkay? Some say that AF gives girls bigger boobs, SO WHAT? and their clothes ARE NOT padded with bras, it's a girls choice to wear bras. So people stop bitchin' bout how AF clothes are slutty, maybe some peeps wanna look like sluts. You HAVE to wear a AF shirt, to know what it feels like.When you walk around, boys stare at you, when you bend down, everyone can see your boobs. This makes most girls feel really sexy and hot. Theres nothing wrong with that.
Sammi~"OMG!! I totally got Will to look at me today! When I walked by him, i purposefully dropped my pencil, and I bent down to get it, and Will looked right at my BOOBS!!!
Taylor~" Awesome!! Ok, you can't tell anyone, ohkay? After school, Nick invited me over to his house, and we had SEX!!! OMG!! His ass is so long and cool!! And I was wearing the really slutty Abercrombie shirt!!"

Where did the idea that Abercrombie is expensive come from? Abercrombie is cheap. $70 for a pair of jeans. Oh, sooo expensive. Abercrombie is for wannabees who want to try to look the part of rich and cool. If you have any real class at all you will go to Nordstrom or Saks and buy a pair of real jeans like 7 For All Mankind or Citizens For Humanity. Or try Coach, Burberry, BCBG MAXAZRIA, Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie or even J.Crew. If you think a $20 shirt is expensive, I am sorry, but actually shopping at J.C. Penny or Sears is pathetic. And Abercrombie & Fitch does not stand for upper-class and wealthy. With its ideas of being a brand for rich, stupid girls (and guys) who just love to spend daddy's money, I am embarrassed to be represented by this brand. I am a straight A student in all the honors and AP classes available at my school. And I buy real clothes that cost more than a pair of Sketchers (the shoes of the losers). Plus, nobody would be caught dead in Abercrombie at my school. Get a life.
Oh look at me! I am trying to be cool and rich by wearing a shirt from Abercrombie that costs less than a washrag!

Get the Abercrombie & Fitch mug.Aberham Lincoln is the 14th (i think) president of this supposedly great nation of ours called America, He lead the Union (blue uniforms) versus the Confederates (White/Grey) and won, Thus ending slavery. He was MOST LIKELY the best president America has had. Not only that, he made America great.
Henry: “What’s your favorite president?”
Zach: “Aberham Lincoln of course!”
Henry “okay you don’t need to yell.”

Get the Aberham Lincoln mug.A clothing store that is nationally known and is respected by many. However, people like me really don't like that store because rich people who would rather act as a billboard for the store than an actual person have ruined the store. Abercrombie and Fitch has also sold thongs for little girls, so I decided not to shop there because I don't want to support the dumbfarts who thought up THAT idea. If any rich, fake preps who would more than gladly pay a ludicrous amount of money for clothes that are no better than what you would find at Wal-Mart, Target, and similar stores want to shop there, fine. But I'm not going to waste my money, because I'm not some rich, fake, preppy whore who thinks that money is everything.
Rich, fake, preppy whore 1: "Liiiiiike O...M...G!!!! Like, Abercrombie and Fitch, is, like, having, a, SALE!!!!"
Rich, fake, preppy whore 2: "Like, HOLY SHIT!!!! Let's, like, go there together and, like, blow all of your, like, dad's MONAYYYY!!!"
Me: "Not THOSE bitches again."

Get the Abercrombie and Fitch mug.An adult daycare in the north-east of Scotland oddly enough within the city of Aberdeen yet separate. An ad-hoc collection of buildings and properties from various centuries and architectural styles as needs/fancy demanded. The medical school is by necessity an acceptable provider of education and knowledge, the rest of the facilities cater to the shiftless bored offspring of parents with enough money to send their progeny off somewhere away to avoid the real world for a few more years. The staff are nice enough if not wholly interested in educating their charges, and the university prides itself on it's status in the realms of research due to it's mediocre provision of any actual teaching.
An 'ancient' university that lives off of the prestige it claims from just happening to have been around a good while, and attracts new fee payers via hawking it's post-medieval architecture which recalls a Harry Potter theme park in some passing manner.
Apply here if you're more interested in a vaguely known and moderately respected university name on your degree where the programme of study won't be very challenging but you'll have plenty of time to go out drinking and do other things with your time relatively stress-free.
See Robert Gordon's University for an Aberdeen based tertiary education that while not as glamorous, will be more challenging and practical.

"I hear you, once our tutor gave us 10 pages of material to read and someone in the group actually cried because they couldn't go straight to Qizmat before spending a whole afternoon at the Bobbin then off to Belmont street on a pub crawl."
