Abercrombie & Fitch

Abercrombie’s market is usually tourist. In other countries (other countries excluding America), Abercrombie is know to be the-​it brand. I have no idea how or why, their market is from little kids to older women and men. Especially the European market are earger to have a peice of clothing that visibly shows the A&F brand. Theior market in the US has gone down, but from this, it seems to me that that A&F will be around for another 10 years. The market wants what it wants.
Americans or poeple who are born in America, (It seems to me) are not that press to have clothing from here.
Their clothing to be honest is not worth their price. It is exactly the same material as trarget except I actually think Target’s clothing will last longer. They’re jean quality is perfect! However, I dont think it is worth 78, 88 dollars (Women jeans, men jeans are slightly higher in price). When they have sales, the average price per garmet comes to be like 30, but even then I dont think there clothes are worth the 30 price range. They have nice clothing, dresses are on the short side. The good thing about their jean is that they have selection for women who have long, short, or regular lengthed legs. Writen review by a person who used to work here. The store is okay. I howeverm did get a little cray-​cray over their perfume this one time… or maybe three.

Abercrombie & Fitch is one of my favorites (along with Hollister and Juicy Couture), but this is one of the very worst A&F! The staff was probably not trained. They were rude and very unfriendly. Two cashiers even broke into an argument amongst themselves because the one who was helping us accidentally used the other’s «account» (they apparently have to log in to the system individually).
Pros: I love the layout of the store, the spacious fitting rooms, the scattered fitting rooms throughout the store (rather than all crowded in a corner). Good (if standard) selections. Convenient location in Georgetown.

Just took my 10 year old girl in there, we found about 5 items Xsmall and go to check out only to find three of the items were not for sale??? But they were on the for sales rack? Aparently they had a special curved hanger that was the code for only to touch not to buy???
This is a stupid policy and we walked out not buying anything out of frustration! What a waste of 45 min!

The first time I owned an Abercrombie product was when a friend of mine came back from Thailand. I was duly impressed so I tried going to an Abercrombie store.
The store was overpowering with the Abercrombie scent. The associates will spray the store every few minutes with that cologne (maybe the associate has a dampened sense of smell?) Quality of the clothes is horrible (for the price). For the same quality of outfit, I can get that kind of outfit style from Target, JCPenny, Kohl’s for a much much lower price. I guess when you buy Abercrombie, you literally are buying the brand not the quality of the clothes.
Also, I found out much later that my friend bought me a bootleg Abercrombie in Thailand. Now, when a bootleg is much better than the original, we might have a problem here, don’t you think?
Ps. Oh yea, I know how to tell the difference between good quality and not so good. ;)

It’s like a gas chamber of bad cologne in there. My friend became so disoriented by the stench that he started closely examining a hideous women’s cardigan with bling on the pockets to buy for a man. After we left, I told him our husbands would think we were having affairs with dudes from the 80s. Seriously, it took a few hours for the smell to wear off my clothes.

I am the adult for whom they play the loud awful music and spray that nasty stink into the air in order to ensure that I don’t shop here and ruin their «hip» vibe. Genius marketing strategy. There’s no way I’m going back into this place.
Funny thing is, I used to shop here with my mother back when they prided themselves on their clothes for the people… all the people.

There is so much cologne sprayed around the store that if you walk through for even a few minutes, your clothes and hair will smell like their «Fierce» scent for the rest of the day. If you go out in Georgetown a lot, you can save money on fragrance by simply stopping by Abercrombie on the way to dinner or the bar: it’s a pretty good scent, especially when it’s free.
As for the store: the marketing is interesting/​strange (no clothes on the models???), the staff has always been nice, but the clothes themselves are overpriced and (in my opinion) not stylish.
Summary: 2 stars for free fragrance, 1 star for the outrageously loud yet dance-​able music that always seems to be playing.

If you’re tired of all the Euro-​style shopping along M street or Wisconsin, Abercrombie is a good alternative. It’s definitely my favorite place to buy clothes in DC, due mainly to the superior quality of their goods. Sure, the ambiguously gay advertising and the frat-​bro feel is a turn-​off, but the fact is, the clothes fit the best, and if you’re tall like me, you are sure to get a satifsying sleeve length on your shirts. Plus they always have decent sales, stuff for as low as $ 9.99. When it comes to casual wear, Abercrombie is my most trusted brand.

I can’t think of a more unpleasant shopping experience than A&F — as soon as you enter your senses are immediately overpowered. First by the copious overuse of «scent» (sales associates go around spraying it all over everything in sight), next by the blaring music and if that’s not enough, the place is so dimly lit you can barely see what’s on offer.
Why do I even bother, you might be wondering?
The simple answer to this is that for some bizarre reason A&F jeans fit me really well!
And the Caroline Super Skinny Ankle Zip pair I picked up here on Sunday is no exception. What’s more, in a world overrun by $ 200+ jeans, these seem like a bargain at just $ 69.50!
