Just checked the website. Everyone is a combo of gay, black, emaciated or blonde and all combos of the those. Same as the OG catalogues that were controversial 20+ years ago. Didn’t see any big’uns. Must be tailored to the OP

A & F used to sell some of the highest quality outdoor and hunting gear imaginable. They sure have gone to the hogs.

Didn’t know they catered to the plump now.
After all these years, they finally start catering to black men?

I like girls that wear Abercrombie and Fitch. Except the ones the ones that bust the stitch.


Ahhh…a line from that LFO song…Summer Girls.



Damn, I am so old this song came out when I graduated high school.

Lakeside mall Abercrombie was my first job. My manager would have never been allowed to hire someone that big, not even for the back.

Do we still like girls that wear Abercrombie and Fitch?

This is funny because I worked there and at their sister store (Hollister) in college, and it was the polar opposite. To the point that I believe the brand got a lot of backlash years down the line.

We only sold up to size 9 in women's jeans. When a woman would come in needing anything larger than a 5, we had a large ladder to grab to reach the upper sizes higher up on the wall. We were encouraged to make a big show of getting the ladder (I did not do this, but ladder in and of itself is probably not a great feeling).

We had strict requirements for employee appearance and basically only hired attractive young people. The position was actually called "model" for front of house people, and many of us were asked to come in and pose for advertisement shoots for the brand.

We were never spoken to directly about our weight (this was not the case when I worked as a cocktail girl at the casino, LOL), but they also didn't hire overweight people and we were a lot more clothed than the casino gig, so it might have been a non-issue.

Anyway, they've worked hard to try to scrub their history, and they've apparently gone wildly in the other direction.

i worked at AF in college as well, early 2000s era. can pretty much confirm all of this. they essentially told us to be dicks to the customers.

tons of hot chicks worked there and shopped there though, so it was a pretty good gig from my perspective.

I still use an Abercrombie 1/4 zip sweater my high school girlfriend gave me as a gift over 26 years ago.

I still wear my button down polo shirt I took senior pics in over 26 years ago.

TIL Abercrombie and Fitch still exists



They've actually got some awesome NFL merch that's good material and is true to size

From a marketing standpoint, they're getting a late start here. Strictly from a business perspective, the majority of Americans are overweight. Why would you not target a majority audience
