Abercrombie & Fitch has had strong financial results since mid-2010, but it was one of the slowest major retailers to respond to the new reality of the recession, and as a result its recovery lagged far behind most of its competitors.

I hate everything about these stores, and I pass mental judgement on children who wear the clothing and on the parents who allow the children to wear the clothing.
It's the mentality that breeds Lindsay Lohan wannabes.

I remember when you could tell college freshman by all the A&F gear. Wearing an A&F T was like wearing your high school letter jacket.

Well, the answer must be that A&C needs even more child/teen pornography in their ads!

I’m 31 and A&F hit its stride when I was in college. I never understood why kids would spend their parents’ money on torn jeans at $100 when you could get the same jeans (sans holes) for $30 and rough them up to achieve the same effect.
Then again, I’m conservative and utilitarian. I don’t see a need for “metro” clothing when jeans and a t-shirt work just fine for bumming around the house or at Home Depot.

Couldn’t happen to a more deserving retail chain. IIRC, they’ve been behind much of the sexualization of the youth in advertisement and in spite of complaints continued. Seems they are quite open about homosexual perversion too...but my memory is foggy on that one. Hope they collapse completely

The birth certificate thing didn’t help. :)

At one time, Abercrombie & Fitch dealt with upper class British sportswear—what we would call preppie clothes. Very proper raincoats. And things like shooting sticks—I remember my mother-in-law had one of those for when she went on a bird shoot.
Then came the revolution, and they went metrosexual on us, if not gay/transgendered. Too bad. They used to be kind of like Brooks Brothers was in the old days, only more so.
The cultural revolution of the 60s has a lot to answer for.

That explains why Hollister must be doing so well these days...

I’m waiting for the manufacturer of those sweats with ‘Juicy’ on the seat to go belly up next.
