"Abercrombie DOES not sell shirts that cost 50 bucks !!"
Umm... YES THEY DO.
I saw it with my own eyes, and the cheapest thing they sold was a gym t-shirt to my boyfriend for $28. I even found a pair of pants there for $80.
If you don't believe me. I'll tell you the exact A&F store I was at. In Orlando FL, POINT Orlando, the shopping area.
Again, I will repeat I have seen that. I am not blind, or stupid. I know what "$50" on a freaking price tag looks like.
oh btw, question to all abercrombie defenders.
Why the fuck does a clothing store have a catalog with models who are TOPLESS?!? It's a CLOTHING store!! Put some DAMN clothes on them!!
And WHY do you have to pay for the stupid things? God what a freaking ripoff. That's the ONLY place I have ever seen that actually sales the catalog. Good God, my store gives em out for free.

half of these stores you ppl discuss are only hearsay for me...i've never been to them (then again..i'm a canadian) my favourite store, that we only have in canada is called Warehouse One -- the jeans store. its amazing, and the company owner lives in winnipeg, and i'm absolutely positive all of their clothing is made in canada. they have great jeans and tops (yes they are 'trendy' and the styles are somewhat media fed, but almost everyone can find something to wear there) and '30 styles of jeans under $30' -- btw people, thats $30 cdn. granted they do carry a couple of brands like silver jeans that sell for $50 or so, but i'm not really into those. they have guys clothing too...which is good. stitches, is only canadian, and yeah larigirl i HATE the music they play there, and the clothing is alright. A&F == CRAP. sorry, but for all the reasons mentioned above, and the fact that i personally do not believe in purchasing clothing from manufacturers that do not endorse basic HUMAN RIGHTS. the clothing is exceedingly boring, and some of the interesting pieces are well beyond my budget. my philosophy about name brands (and i don't really wear large brands besides *~umbro~* and bauer (for hockey) is that, if i'm paying more money for something simply b/c its a certain brand, they better have their frikkin name plastered all over every inch of my clothing, because the name is what i'm paying for!!) GAP == see notes on A&F exactly the same. just we had gap longer in canada American Eagle == cheap gap rip off. or should i say, only slightly cheaper gap rip off Suzy Shier, Le Chateau, and such duplicate clone ultra superfem ugly clothes stores == i CAN'T even shop there. unless i want to show almost every inch of my A-cup ladies to the whole world when i wear their shirts. or if i suddenly develop a concave butt. not that all their clothes are like that, but most are i like hot topic. we don't have it here, only in the states, but their band shirts are cool. and yes, i would be willing to pay slightly more than avg for a band shirt, seeing as i really want to endorse that band. i got an incubus shirt there (full sleeves) for $11 US. not bad eh? *~pobo-gets-berated-for-a-too-long-post ;D

"NO, shirts dont cost 50 buckls they cost 30$ at most" hahaha then why is this thing $70? www.abercrombie.com/anf/onlinestore/collection/3527_01_b.jpgAnd that shit is fucking UGLY. www.abercrombie.com/anf/onlinestore/collection/2574_01_b.jpgThis piece of shit is $39.50, and they sell the same thing at Wal-Mart for $14.99. "i hate are nethng like forever 21 and le chateau theyre so cheap" So if they doubled their prices then that'd make em worth shopping in? puh-leeze. *rolls eyes* What happened to picking stores based on fashion, not on image and money? "Payless i ll never go into that store" Why? Would your friends make fun of you if you walked in a store that wasn't all expensive? Talk about stuck up and shallow.. *rolls eyes* again

I have that sweater in green !!! I did not pay $70 for it either !! I paid $39.50 ! I find that the when I pay more, it fits me better ! Like that sweater, it fits my body, which is wayyyy more appealing than loose fitting shit thats at wal-mart !
And why do you have to talk about preps and their clothing so damn much, and your strong dis-like for them ! I think what skaters, punks, and freaks wear is shit, but it doesn't matter to me that much at all Because I realize that people are different and so is their taste. Why does it matter how much it cost anyway ? You can't afford it, so what - why bother even wasting your time talking about it ?

Paid $39.50 my ass. I went to the Abercrombie site. I CAN PROVE MYSELF RIGHT. Go here.
shop home > womens > sweaters > tracee embroidered sweater
And you'll find it way overpriced.
"And why do you have to talk about preps and their clothing so damn much, and your strong dis-like for them !"
Puh-leeze.. I rarely do. I'm rarely at this message board anyways. I come here what once every 2 or 3 days.

Whoa whoa back up. What makes you ASSume I can't afford it? I NEVER said I couldn't afford it. There's a BIG difference between not being able to afford something, and just not willing to pay too much for something. I work my ass off for my money, when you work and earn your money, you're not gonna waste it on way overpriced ugly crap.. but when you have your Mommy or Daddy pay for it like everybody I know who wears that shit does, then you wouldn't understand the value of a dollar.
And I buy nice expensive shit at Burdines, or the Mall, but it still is NOTHING in comparison to prices at Abercombie.
And btw why I am here bitching is because I'm an opinionated bitch.. got a problem with that?

Oh yeah, thanks for ignoring everything in my post. You couldn't even defend Abercrombie barely.
Oh and one more thing.. what the hell is up with the "two wongs make it white" shit that they were putting on shirts, and other RACIST things about asians?
Can anybody defend that one?

^^^ Ugh, what is it with shirts that have rude comments on them? I was at this store the other day, and they had a shirt that said, "Keep your receipt, maybe you can return your face." Is that horrible, or what?

Those shirts are stupid. They're for people who can't make good comebacks so they shell out their life's savings so their shirts can do it for them. Also, that ugly embroidery sweater doesn't come in green honey, only blue and grey. I think you got a different sweater for 39.50. Plus, not all of us feel like wasting our money on one casual shirt or sweater. A skater guy at my school lives in a 3-story house and his parents have 3 expensive cars, but is he poor just because he skateboards? That's unbelievably immature to decide someone's salary by a hobby or music interest. Also, what the hell is Abercrombie doing trying to pass off jeans that are ripped up and peed on for 70? a1008.g.akamai.net/7/1008/521/0822/www.abercrombie.com/anf/onlinestore/collection/3562_01_l.jpg

At the actual Abercrombie store, it DOES come in blue. That is one thing I have noticed about their catalogs, is for whatever reasons, that they don't give you all the options that are in the store. Dunno why.
And Naru :: I didn't feel like arguing with you about the rest of your post. Don't like to argue with people who I don't care for so I just stopped.

Abercrombie and AE are from the smae people, i think. But I won't buy their stuff myself. I mean yeah, they have some cute stuff, but what I wear I borrow from my sis. I just can't imagine paying that much for clothes. blech
And I don't erally like Old Navy much. Some of the stuff is cute, but lots of it is just dumb.
But it's late and I'm tired so I can't think and I think I'm gonna go to bed.

I agree with Shrubby on this one. Those shirts are stupid. I understand something trying to be witty when you're not a witty person, but the racist things Abercrombie comes up with is unbelievable.
"Plus, not all of us feel like wasting our money on one casual shirt or sweater. A skater guy at my school lives in a 3-story house and his parents have 3 expensive cars, but is he poor just because he skateboards? That's unbelievably immature to decide someone's salary by a hobby or music interest."
I agree there. This reminds me of that song Skater Boy by Avril. It didn't have to do with a wealthy skater boy, but one nonetheless that was stereotyped by a total prep who rejected him because he wasn't good enough for her, and then him later on turning into a big star.
"At the actual Abercrombie store, it DOES come in blue. That is one thing I have noticed about their catalogs, is for whatever reasons, that they don't give you all the options that are in the store. Dunno why."
Then why is the shirt in the store half the price of the one in the catalog? That makes absolutely no sense.
Then again half naked models, racist slogans, and other shit that they come up with never make sense to me either.
"And Naru :: I didn't feel like arguing with you about the rest of your post. Don't like to argue with people who I don't care for so I just stopped."
lmao thanks for the laugh. It's not that you don't want to argue against me, it's that you CAN'T come up with anything good to defend them with so you gave up.
