Abercrombie and Fitch?

[314159]

doc martains shouldn't be bashed, i just retired my pair of 8 eye boots after 3.5 years. started wearing the bottoms through, but they felt soo good....

as far as t shirt's go, vendor's/companies give out a lot of them (not prep, more of a nerd thing). www.tshirthell.com has some intresting ones, especially in their offensive tshirt of the month section . i also pick up a fiew every year at anime conventions and such.

"aww a grey tshirt, this means that you can throw away 2 of your black ones"- my mom , i just looked at her funny.

Basically, if you could afford it, you'd buy it.

lol, Well I could buy it, and I wouldn't buy it. Why pay like $30 for a plain yellow tshirt that sports a namebrand logo when I can get two really cool tshirts from hottopic or somewhere? I mean if you wanna pay that much for a yellow tshirt, then fine . I just know if I wanted a plain yellow tshirt I'd go to wal-mart lol. And also youre paying that much to be that companys billboard. I dont wanna be a Abercrombie and Fitch(SP? too lazy to make sure I spelled that right) billboard. I WILL be a billboard for a cool band or something tho . But not everyone wants to be like everyone else

ENDO!

Sorry to break the news to you, but there are just as many people that look like you out there.

Sorry but it's pretty damn impossible to be original now-a-days. Whatever we do, or are doing has probally been done or someone else is doing it right now.

The way you dress is fine, I don't have a problem with how anyone dresses(accept for cross dressers), but don't try to think your original or differant for doing it. You're about as diferant as the rest of the millions of Hot Topic's customer base.

What im saying is the majority of kids now adays are preps or ghetto. In my town there is like one punk, me. The only reason I dress how I do is because I like it. I'm not trying to be like anyone else. I am just being me.

ENDO!

I have a few comments here...

First off, this quality arguement is BS. A&F may be a little overpriced, but you are paying for quality. A tshirt is NOT tshirt is NOT a tshirt. A $7 walmart tshirt is NOT the same as a $20 A&F tshirt. There can be an immense difference in fabric, which leads to quality and comfort.

A&F makes some nice stuff, but I do have one gripe with them. ALL their stuff is sized for "medium" sized people. I can't wear any of their clothes. Their sweaters hug my neck so tight it feels like someone is choking me. Their shirts are too short, same with pants, etc. And thats IF you can find something in your size, it seems every pair of pants in that store is 32. When you wear a 38-40 you are screwed. It's not even like I'm some 300 pound butterball either, I'm just not some 5'7" scrawny dude. 6'2" 230 shouldn't be too big for normal stores.

But, now is when I can list the stores I DO like. American Eagle and Structure, in that order. American Eagle makes awesome clothes. Half the stuff in my closet is from AE. They are REALLY comfortable, and very durable. I have a pair of cargo shorts I wear all the time that are in great shape.

As for cost, you shop the sales and you can get clothes cheap anywhere. I got three pairs of khakis at Structure for $30 once. You can't beat that anywhere. I don't care if you can find better deals at Walmart or whatever store you want to say is cheaper, the clothes there won't be as good quality and they won't be as comfortable.

If you want to buy cheap clothes that are going to fall apart though, by all means, go ahead.

Same with most people, just because I dress prep doesn't mean I'm trying to be anyone.



Thordic speaks the truth.

Me and wingman pretty much only where AE (50% off is great). Some of AF is a little to prep for me. AE is a litle more laid back.

Be what you are, don't be what youre not! I just hate when people DO dress like that to be like other peoples.

ENDO!

Sorry to break this to you, but I have been watching this arguement for some time now. To all the people that think A&F is cheaply made, you need to go get your head examined. Go to structure/AE and buy some shorts then go to AF...then compare the thickness of the material.

MajorDamage...seems to me like you dress the way that you do simply NOT to be like other people. this is just as bad as dressing to be like other people. It is no different. Dress the way you want/like/feel comfortable in and stop arguing...why do you care how other people dress in the first place? Sounds to me like you pay more attention to dress here than anyone else does.

And Hemlock...I'll kill you.....how could you possibly talk trash about AF when you like all of my clothes and wear AE. I believe Obsolete said it best when he stated that AE is just a AF ripoff. POSER.

Hmmm.....

Well, umm, not sure what to say, this is thread has been running in circles quite a while, well, AF is cool, my parents don't like me buying stuff there cause of their nude ads (my mom is a marketing professor and knows all about their stuff), about 9/10ths of the stuff i buy is AE, cause i like it, sure AF stuff has "thicker" material, but who cares, I really like AF stuff, but AE is more me. And structure is cool, don't have anything from there right now, and Banana Rep. is sweet too, only have one thing there, kinda expensive, and there is no Structure around here.

[-J�ker-]

im tired of all the labels ppl get for dressing a certain way.... just because someone is a 'prep' or a 'goth' or a 'insert label here' doesnt mean they are any better or worse than the next guy i like 'prep' clothes because i like casual clothes and i think they are good quality if i see a shirt i like in lets say sears if its a nice lookinm shirt ill buy it who cares if it looks good it looks good.
