I never had single item from the A&F line. Was too @Poor_and_Stupid

At 6' 3" 225 lbs. I was too fat.

Peak Abercrombie was a hair after my time, but still pretty "cool." And I won't lie, I had my fair share of Abercrombie clothes...and my gf bought me their cologne. It was good for me...

I was prime A&F and I fucked. AMA

What was it like being a bi-curious teen?

 

[Driveway Jordan]

I recall being underwhelmed at the talent (female) working at the A&F in Omaha. Hollister was the place to go.

Barry's baby! Every shirt was $10 I think and they had funny sayings on them. Too bad they were junk shirts.

Ha I worked there for like 3-4 months in college.

 

[Adolph Coors]

I was the richest kid in school and my parents never got me clothes from those type of stores.



Probably why I’m rich and successful and married with 1 1/2 kids right now and most of my generation is poor burnout single losers with no kids and tons of student debt.

but the poorest kid at Sacred heart

We went there in high school all the time.

We went there in high school all the time.

I felt bad for the single moms who would spend like 200 dollars on clothes from there. Now maybe for kids it was a good deal but that shit shrank awkwardly after one wash.

Must be why you’re so humble too

Lucky jeans were also the tits back in the day.

Years later, I finally got some Lucky jeans for $25 at Sam's Club a few weeks ago, lol. Am I one of the cool kids now?

I was the generation after this where everyone wore Nike sweatpants to school with socks and slides.

I did the socks with sandals thing in high school for a while. But that was mainly because I had a nasty bloody ingrown toenail, and needed something that gave my toes plenty of room while still keeping them covered. (I'm trying to remember if it was the one in my avatar or the other one, lol.)

The Lucky jeans became a favorite of mine after a freshman year encounter with a girl. As she pulled them down she showed me the inside of the fly that said “Lucky you”. Had I not been so nervous and excited, I’d have thought of something to say, but I’m pretty sure she understood how lucky I felt.

but it said GBrR so it was worth it. Gosh, Barry’s gives me some fun flashbacks. Honestly for the price point, I think we all knew what we were getting. I always got like 1-2 sizes bigger after that first shirt. But damn, that place was awesome

I remember them telling us that our jeans were made in the same factory as Abercrombie and fitch. The worst part is they had about 8 songs on a circuit.

All the kids liked Hollister back in my day

 

[Pipe Line]

American Eagle and Hollister were the go tos at my middle school, 7th grade year. It was the same time as frosted tips, which I did do. Owned 1 American Eagle polo that I only one wore once to try and feel cool but it was small so I didn’t like it. Kept it in my closet for years just to say I had one in case anyone asked.

 

[BIG TONE SOPRANO]

What I remember of A&F was that if you walked within 50 feet of that store at the mall you would absorb that god awful cologne smell they pumped into that store. I don't know how those people worked there.

Sprayed a full bottle every day on the mannequins

You don’t have to be rich to send your kids to Sacred Heart… if your kids are great athletes.


When they won state basketball 4 of the starting 5 were Protestant. Traitors.
