I haven't bought anything there since their racism scandal few years ago. As much as I get turned on by their marketing imagery, it promotes an overly sexual, anglo-saxon self-image that's clearly not healthy for the rest of us.<BR/><BR/>You might get a kick out of this:<BR/>http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2007/10/shirtless_revenge_at_the_aberc.htmlAmeethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10312886958581237705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15196744.post-14037080807430186622007-11-25T18:48:00.000-05:002007-11-25T18:48:00.000-05:00My husband and I have always laughed that they mus...My husband and I have always laughed that they must check ID's at the door.

I'm going to go straight up to that guy in the corner of the store who has nothing else to do put pose and make sexy faces and ask him what stinks. <BR/><BR/>Interesting bit of trivia I found out about A&F though, they used to be a gun store, and Ernest Hemingway shot and killed himself with a rifle that he bought from Abercrombie and Fitch.Chic Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12883236924370716198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15196744.post-24436615663513825842007-10-17T22:01:00.000-04:002007-10-17T22:01:00.000-04:00You know, I noticed the smell too, and thought I w...You know, I noticed the smell too, and thought I was just imagining things. I've walked by the store in the mall, and started sneezing, eyes watering too. I'm sensitive to most perfumes, so there was definitely something wafting across the aisles. yuck.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00856708363761638585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15196744.post-59995892460048703692007-10-15T14:34:00.000-04:002007-10-15T14:34:00.000-04:00I agree with you.

They pipe in some type of scent-it smells water based, which goes with their beach bum aesthetic. <BR/><BR/>I've heard the clothes are very durable and high quality. But for those prices I'd rather wear J.
