God, I'd never thought I'd see the day when I'd be favourably reviewing an Abercrombie and Fitch. Sixteen year old me is slowly drawing out a gun ...

Honestly though, the quality and range of clothing here is really good. As a European, I get a bit giddy coming into chains like A&F and Hollister in Canada, as the import costs are so much less here than at home, and this is reflected in the... more

They keep shooting themselves in the foot. Apology after apology. Time to get their marketing chops on, and find a niche that is designed to be successful.

Once upon a time in Manhattan there was a young girl who would pretend to be a tourist who couldn't find her ticket and jump "back" on the hop-on-hop-off double-decker bus. She'd ride from The Apollo in Harlem alllll the way to South Street Seaport to buy casual chic navy blue and beige clothes from a massive Abercrombie and Fitch. This activity brought her much joy*.

OK. It was me, and once... more

First off let me just say that I am a fan of the clothes here (the actual store is quite awful but I'll address that later) if your like me a slim guy you probably know how hard it is to shop for clothing that doesn't look like you just threw a garbage bag over yourself. The sports shirts here are a flawless fit. The jeans contrary to popular belief are not all pre ripped and are some of the... more

Extremely dark., so dark you can't see the outrageous prices properly.
Unbearable cologne. The smell is so strong, you'll smell faintly like it after you walk out.
Atrocious service. Most employees have enormous egos and interaction with them is very uncomfortable.
Half-Hour waits for the change room during a sale.

The only thing that can make this location even worse is to have naked models... more

Abercrombie is just way too easy to make fun of. What other reviewers have said is mostly true. The store is ridiculous: low lighting, hard to navigate, staff hired solely for their looks, loud music, and that awful cologne that pervades the store. All this does annoy me a little but mostly I just find it funny.

Having said all this, I think A&F deserves some credit. I only go here for button... more

This place is dark, loud, and filled with enough perfume/cologne to make me go home with a headache. Really, its so dark that I can't get a good look at the clothing they are trying to sell me. Plus, theres a bench or couch outside (can't remember) that is a constant hangout for 13 year olds - making it hard to enter or exit the store.

It was one of those "oh, cool, a new store, lets check it... more

If you ever wanted proof that sex sells just look at Abercrombie & Fitch. Sex is thrown at you from the moment you enter the store. The store and clothes reek of A&F cologne/perfume to get rid of that child labor smell.

The quality and originality of the clothes is poor, but you'll pay through the a@s for it. They mass produce the same style each season, how many times have you seen 'A&F'... more
