Dressing Better Vol 2.0

[anomolie]

Abercrombie has definitely stepped up.

 

[shogun]

Never wore any a&f. In hs it was worn by the rich jewish kids.

 

[hhhornet15]

Funny I just copped a parka and a pair of like cargo style joggers that are super dope, I’ll post a pic tomorrow

I got the ultra parka and took with me on a recent trip to Montreal. Kept me nice and toasty in the 20 degree snowy weather.

Wanted dad coat too but will wait til it goes below $100. Fit is great but not substantial enough for winter cold.

Anybody else following Abercrombie? Since Aaron Levine came over from Club Monaco in 2015 they’ve eclipsed J Crew IMO in terms of mall brand menswear. Been buying a lot of stuff from them lately and their rebrand has been fire.

I haven’t stepped in there since 2006. Are they still putting their logo on EVERTYHING?

Can never wear Abercrombie. That's the brand the SWS rich kids at my high school wore, and I still remember the racism against minorities (the racist Chinese laundry shirts, putting black/Mexican/Asians in the back room while putting white people up front, etc). Maybe they've changed since the early/mid 2000s but that's the first thing that comes to mind whenever I hear of the brand

Those fluorescent popped collar polos with the moose/deer logo (or whatever that was) was the go to shirt for them

 

[hhhornet15]

I’ve been removing some tags/logos off shirts with a seam ripper if they’re noticeable.

They renovated the store at Tyson’s mall last year and it’s really nice. Not sure if they’re doing the same revamp at every location but they should. Been getting a lot of wear from these since I got them:

 

[hhhornet15]

I think a reason for A&F turnaround is that they ditched their IN YOUR FACE branding for the most part, also they always have great sales and their clearance rack is THE TRUTH.

Agreed. Most people don't realize Abercrombie has been around since 1892 and started as an outdoor company similar to LL Bean. Here's a pretty good write up of the company's turnaround: https://www.gq.com/story/abercrombie-fitch-aaron-levine-designer-profile

This!
I mostly buy stuff that has no logo and if they do i make sure its just a sewn on tag that i can take off. It can be a little tedious studying the online pics to see fi there is a moose embrodiered anywhere but most of the stuff will say "icon" polo or something which means it has the moose. Was never a fan of branding on any clothes honestly. But the fit + quality + price is basically perfect for me

Wore my Thom Browne Brogues for my first week at the new gig.

Abercrombie is cool. I buy stuff whenever they have the 60/70% off. Got a safari jacket for $36 along with some other basic logo less crewnecks, raglans, sweaters, jeans, etc for the low. One of the only mall brands I mess with.

Refuse to buy anything from H&M. Just feels so cheap

 

[turbospartan]

Just got all my Abercrombie stuff. Decent quality it seems. Flannels soft and thicker than a normal short.

Sweaters not my style so I'll return those.

 

[nanbeezy]

I concur about the AF sales. Great sale prices and the quality is better than HM.

 

[ninjatoes]

took turbospartan advice and sold my rw beckmans. new boots soon come.

 

[ballinsam23]

Someone point me in the direction of a nice navy quilted jacket. The two I was looking at sold out

Me and my lady’s recent SLP rotation

can’t tell which ones are hers and which are yours

 

[jape]

you right but yeah the 2 black ones in the back are mine

 

[Nawzlew]

Anyone rock boots where the tongue slides to the side?

I know with sneakers a fix would be to lace them through that hole in the tongue ...

I think you were the one who asked me about how the harness boot heel cropping turned out, right? Did you end up doing that too?

 

[turbospartan]

Wearing one of these Abercrombie flannels today..... **** is nice. Soft, decent thickness, nice fit.

Wish they had more colors. I'd love a black/grey flannel that I cannot seem to find anywhere (besides Proper Cloth custom, and the John Elliott one from a few years ago).
