Honestly, shopping at Target or Wal-Mart for clothes seems a waste to me. Normally the brands they sell there are of poorer quality and wear out faster. Now what's better is to go to Sears or JC Penny or some other department store and look for sales. You can get Levis jeans for super-cheap prices sometimes. And those things last for fucking ever.

My favorite pair of jeans have a hole in the knee...mind you that was kind of caused by the fact that they were my favorites and they kind of got abused because of it...

The only time I ever went into and Abercrombie was because my friend liked the song.

Abercrombie & Fitch isn't racist. It's just expensive. I shop Target, all the way. I'm cheap like that.

My girlfriend has one pair of American Eagle jeans and only because only AE has a size that fits her.

If the brand isn't A&F or American Eagle, he won't buy it, unfortunately. He's pretty particular about brand names. He's all about Prada, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, etc. One time, he yelled at me for stepping on his $120 shoes. I don't even know why he's my friend to be honest.

I have a pair of those, but they weren't bought that way, I spilled bleach on them AND, well I'm just rough on clothes in general.

Yeah man! Screw those Goth's who shop at Hot Topic! Preps Rule! Shop Abercrombie!

Seriously, half you clothes are from A&F? What the fuck? Everytime I get drug into that store with one of my friends I go insane. Loud music and $50 t-shirts. $50 T-FUCKING-SHIRTS! Who buys that crap?

Personally, I've never seen any T-Shirts at Hot Topic that show stereotypical asians, doing stereotypical asian things.

Although, I think the same company that runs Abercrombie, runs Hot Topic too.

It isnt really that racist, if people think so then they can just stop buying abercrombie, personally i dont really buy clothes from there because they are just made badly and they fall apart really fast, i prefer american eagle, or armoni, but other then that abercrombies pretty ok and all(plus they have awesome jackets)

This thing about selling thongs to 8 & 9 yr olds is plain WRONG!!! That is like encouraging sex, which is stupid and dangerous. I went to their store before and have seen the shirts so... THEY ARE RACIST SHIRTS!!! YOU CANT DISS A RELIGION LIKE THAT!!! THAT IS SOMETHING PPL BELIEVE IN, NOT TO BE TAKEN LIGHTLY!!!!!
Other than the racist shirts- a lot of the others are very freaky in a bad way. Obviously promoting sex also because who would like to be on "a tiki spot where the island boys are hot hot hot"(or however it goes because I dont really remember that phrase well) unless they wanted to hook up, and excuse me, but 10 year olds and dating sounds strange. And 2 inch long miniskirts- hello, sex calling.

But the worst thing is the CHILD LABOR!!! That is the number one reason not 2 go there because they pay these workers pennies then go sell these shirts for $35!!!

*and the only reason I know all this about A&F is because my friend and I went to the mall last week and she insisted that we stop at abercrombie (her being outraged that I hadnt ever been inside-- that store turns me off from the outside window) And no she didnt buy the racist shirts*
