Life on Abercrombie & Fitch CEO’s Corporate Jet

[UP4014]

To the original point, supply a uniform yes but describing how far the zipper goes up is way over the top. Not surprised there is a court case pending.

Perhaps he cares more about how far a zipper "can come down" ...

And yes, it is *way* over the top. I hate the brand for many reasons discussed in this thread. It's pretentious, the brand discriminates with recruitment and is simply over the top.

Speaking of corporate jets, did anyone see the one parked at mascot earlier this week with the very small red square logo on it?

Very, very, very cool.

I agree. And I don't even know a lot about the brand, I just know I don't care for the store or the clothes. This kind of information just makes me care even less, if that were possible.

I'm really surprised at the number of people swooning over them in this thread.. especially with what I understand to be their target market.

In what way does it discriminate? They employ people of all races. Or are you meaning that they only employ young, reasonably good-looking, well-groomed people?

They only employ young people.

They discriminate against people who want this zipper all the way up.

Thankfully my obession for A&F is helped out when not visiting the States, because I still on good terms with my ex (in Salt Lake City of all places!) and over time we've arranged 'agreements' for such things as US only addresses (ie my AA account isn't registered to El Sigundo!) for any online shopping.

I agree with the above that the Stuff you get atFrat House, while okay, isn't that great

I didn't realise it was a requirement fit fashion houses to now employ only fat old guys......

 

[JohnK]

Way over the top.

And this is the first time I have heard of this company or their CEO and they will both be forgotten quickly as soon as this thread disappears from New posts list on AFF....

... Would anyone be expecting things of substance to come from a store named "Frat House" ?!!

Some tall poppies starting to emerge in this thread.. Always good for a lauch

^^ Really?? Come on! "Frat house"?!

Am I really the only one who cringes and knows to avoid things associated with the word fraternity?! I should go to bed

Most items are $60-$200, but if you buy "out of season" or "last years" collection they are a more reasonable $20-$50

Great margins and very well set-up stores with very attractive staff and that smell that makes you want to stay in the store longer

Love A&F, the stores and great looking staff. But dislike the overpowering smell (and their fragrances in general) in some of them - the Tokyo store in particular gave me a migraine.

FYI - there is a new A&F store opening at Bondi Junction early next year, they are planning a bunch of stores around Oz as well.

No doubt all merchandise will be at least 30% more expensive than buying it anywhere else though!

Pretty sure they are opening Hollister here not A&F.
