IDK man I feel like they have a very contradicting opinion because of the quality of Richies brand. These items are great for the price. Remember Richie bought a $300 shirt and they're complaining about a $70 sweater for being soft.
Fun fact: Former Senior VP of Men’s and Women’s Design at Abercrombie Aaron Levine left the company in 2021 and now works with Teddy Santis at Aimé Leon Dore. That’s why you see a lot of his influence at ALD. It’s the other way around.
Prices might be high but the entire store is almost always 20% off, both in store and online. And that’s before the actual sales that they have at the beginning and end of each season. Plus influencer codes. It’s quality for staples, especially their oversized tees and 5 inch shorts.
Didn’t know having a soft boxy shirt was a negative thing but when ALD sells it, it’s quality 😅 A&F clothes actually have very minimal shrinking for how soft their products are
@@MrAlohaGabethe shirts are great quality. They don’t really shrink . Very soft and hold there shape . You can get tall sizes too for 10$ how do you best that ? It’s easily worth more
@@MrAlohaGabe I agree preference plays a part but to say they feel cheap because the shirt is soft does not make sense to me. I guess they prefer thicker shirts but I feel like a softer shirt is more comfortable and they do hold their shape pretty well.
I used to shop there like in my early college days but grew out of that preppy style they had back then. But a couple years ago, I needed a topcoat & just from searching on the Google "shopping" tab, I came across one from their site that I really liked. I saw that they really changed their style. Ever since then, they've been one of my go-to places. I haven't bought any of their streetwear type stuff though, I buy more of their dapper stuff like that knit yall had in this video. I think their stuff is nicer now, a lot more subtle & less branding, don't have the Moose logo everywhere now lol. I believe the same people that made Abercrombie also owns Hollister, but it's not as nice imo. Also, back then both stores didn't sell/make anything in the color black (for reasons Idk why), but now they both do. A dark navy blue was the closest color they had to black back then.
Abercrombie was extremely popular in the 90's. It definitely leaned more preppy back then. Started fading out in the early 2000's. It was always expensive. It was the step up from American Eagle back in those days.
We need more videos like this but on different stores. Do one for Old Navy, Target, Zara.... maybe Wal-Mart. I've been noticing a lot more ads for the clothes at Wal-Mart.
I never stopped wearing Abercrombie and we have a "factory" store within half hour. Never pay full price they always have sales. Always been some of the longest lasting clothes I had. Still have several pairs of vintage cargo shorts.
Same. I've been rocking em since 1998. When I still rocked Eddie Bauer and structure. Lol!!! I pick and choose what I buy I'm not a consistent Abercrombie shopper, or J.crew. latey I grab pieces from Rowing Blazers.
@@_1Brick1_ Washington state I know of at least 3 "factory" stores in addition to normal retail but they also sell their clearance discontinued stuff on the website.
I feel A&F is popular because of their designs and accessibility. More hype/smaller boutique brands tend to sell out quickly and rarely restock. The prices are steep but you gotta be on the look out for the sales lol
Feel like Abercrombie actually peaked like 2 years ago. Had much deeper sales, cheaper prices and more standardized fits. They were trying to do modern basics well and that was it. Now I feel like they’re trying to do too much to keep up with trends - and with the increase in popularity has come an increase in prices which has offset the value. They were “surprisingly good quality for the price” whereas now they’re just average to below average quality for the price.
Those graphic tees are perfect cops when they go on sale. Soft feel makes me super comfy and the graphic doesn’t fade instantly. Also doesn’t shrink. But yea when it goes on sale those graphic tees be like $10 😩
Their flannels are the best for me! And I’m always able to find them for sale at a good price! Their heavyweight flannels are really nice and feel great!
I use to wear A&F back in the day in high school and a lil in middle school. I remember their clothes being very expensive. We talking 1998 - 2004, Jeans use to be $125. Camo cargo shorts and pants were always fire.
Noooooo!!! stop reviewing AB&F Richie I’ve been gatekeeping my lowkey fits from there lmao they got some heat at times and I don’t want everyone on the bubble now 😂😂
I think their hoodies are super nice and the nice kind of soft you need for me personally but to be fair Richie you are wearing a shirt that’s a bit “baggy” so the items are gonna feel tight on you to begin with. Plus you’re a bit bigger, muscle wise, than Tan so that too will play a part. Their pants I feel like I wouldn’t be too much a fan of but their hoodies, polos, boxer briefs is what I go for the most. I will I am definitely a consistent costumer but I think what really helped was getting rid of their old CEO/President cause that nigga was an absolute dickhead.
@@_1Brick1_ abercrombie is always good. Yall don't need some sneaker guys reminding you, and if you did the stuff is probably not in your lane anyway. No big. No fomo from not shopping at abercrombie
Definitely better quality than H&M. I don't really shop at H&M due to their quality being so poor, unless if I need some cheap dress clothes for a one-time occasion. Lol
You can’t try on a shirt over a shirt and say it’s tight dawg come on! Iv been buying their stuff like crazy but I buy Kith as well and Iv noticed they copy Kith on everything. AF ALWAYS puts their stuff on sale 50% off so don’t buy full price. I wish you guys would have focused more on the unique items like floral pants and jacket and embroidered cardigans and tees and forest print hoodies cuz it looks like they stole them straight from Kith look book for fall/winter. I’m talking about the Kith made products only
I used to buy fast fashion items and designer items, 4 years ago i sold al my gear and started to get visvim items. You got to check out there stuff. prices are high, but most costs are into production because its all made with the best fibers and ancient techniques to make the best products that will last and stand the test of time. I buy around 3 items a year beeing really picky what I actually need instead of want. There stuff isn’t comparable to anything made in this world.
Abercombie while controversial had an identity. Now it's like every other fast fashion brand that caters to it's streetwear consumers. Let's just call it what it is. It's like a fast fashion brand with low-quality products. This goes out to a lot of other brands that are selling out to the streetwear consumers. Allsaints is another brand that is guilty of this, even copying designs from Essentials. I hate the direction fashion is headed and there's a reason why everyone dresses the same. There's no more individuality and uniqueness anymore
I really like the Rebrand Abercrombie made without their logo and font being plastered all over. you guys were right when you said that shopping online is a lot better than going into the actual store they never have anything in there I also own the popover hoodie and the heavyweight blank T that you reviewed and I found them on sale they have sales regularly it's not always full price!
Have you compared the textures and quality of 80s anf vintage clothes vs new generation kdress for today? I love vintage anf on my age and still wearing vintage cargo pants tees jackets specially my hoodies...than todays anf...Quality textures are way better vintage than todays anf
It might be a good idea to disclose that you own RLC at the start of future videos like this. Most people on the channel know, but newcomers might not and this would give them some perspective into what makes your review valuable, and even what your biases might be.
Ever since abercrombie did the revival, i only shop for their niche pieces like linen clothing and knitwear. Also jeans cause now they actually have my size by being inclusive to short people lol! Their streetwear stuff is kinda meh and expensive for what they are.
I feel like y’all bought the wrong items. I buy a lot of their camp collar shirts, and those are so fire. And yes it is pricey, but they always have sales going on online.
I wouldn’t build a whole wardrobe here but every now and then they have some fire shirt or jacket I can’t resist. Fierce cologne is overpowering in store but buy a bottle. A spray or two will get you more compliments than you can imagine. By far my all time favorite smell to wear
It just feels wrong mentioning Abercrombie and streetwear in the same sentence lmao. But not gonna front, I've bought a couple pieces from them recently 😆
Now they even have another shirt that’s made with the heavyweight t material but vintage t fit called the vintage inspired premium heavyweight cropped tee
IDK man I feel like they have a very contradicting opinion because of the quality of Richies brand. These items are great for the price. Remember Richie bought a $300 shirt and they're complaining about a $70 sweater for being soft.
If I recall, Abercrombie and Fitch started out as a high-end clothing brand. I believe they were big with outdoor people.
Yup. They were basically Eddie Bauer and LL Bean. Then became surfwear/preppy while i was growin up, and now theyre like refined streetwear Gap

send me the coupon codes pls
Do more of these videos, it was actually super helpful! Online photos be deceiving nowadays, so annoying having to keep returning stuff lol
You can try them out at store bruh.... not that hard...
Didn’t know having a soft boxy shirt was a negative thing but when ALD sells it, it’s quality 😅 A&F clothes actually have very minimal shrinking for how soft their products are
I was thinking the same thing
Because quality does play a factor in these clothes. Its everyones personal preference though

Wow Richie finally wore something that can be considered to be "formal" in that Johnny collar knitted polo. That fits really well.
Abercrombie was extremely popular in the 90's. It definitely leaned more preppy back then. Started fading out in the early 2000's. It was always expensive. It was the step up from American Eagle back in those days.
New styles are pretty nice quality. Retail prices are high, but they always have sales like 30 to 40% off.
Man during my high school days I remember abercrombie used to be that whiteboy jock type clothing lmfaooo
We need more videos like this but on different stores. Do one for Old Navy, Target, Zara.... maybe Wal-Mart. I've been noticing a lot more ads for the clothes at Wal-Mart.
The loose workwear pants are super nice and also, they have sales quite often.
Started shopping A&F online recently but have yet to see a sale.. when do these sales happen?
I never stopped wearing Abercrombie and we have a "factory" store within half hour. Never pay full price they always have sales. Always been some of the longest lasting clothes I had. Still have several pairs of vintage cargo shorts.

Richie squeezing his hat through each shirt was wild. Like bro wasn't taking off the hat for a second.

Well said
Bro what was that intro? Talking a Canadian from south park
13:12 I’ve NEVER seen anyone put a shirt on over a SnapBack EVER that pull down was epic!
Such a good video!! This felt so og as far as this channel goes!
Those graphic tees are perfect cops when they go on sale. Soft feel makes me super comfy and the graphic doesn’t fade instantly. Also doesn’t shrink. But yea when it goes on sale those graphic tees be like $10 😩
Same af I stock up at my local A&F with 10 dollar graphic tees I go a size up or even two for baggier look and 25 dollar jeans
shit. I need to cop me some when it goes on sales.
Their flannels are the best for me! And I’m always able to find them for sale at a good price! Their heavyweight flannels are really nice and feel great!

Don't worry. We won't be there.
Please keep doing these brand reviews! Fun to watch and really helpful
MNML review?👀
16:09 "they're not as racist it seems like" bro 🤣🤣🤣
Intro tuff. Channels finally changing for the better
i'll save yall 16 minutes of your day
the answer is hell nah
Their hoodies are good. I like soft and long lasting.
try shirt on top of another shirt and is surprised its tight lmao
I mean abercrombie has good hoodies but thats all
I don’t know if Abercrombie is still trendy, but I do recommend there products have high quality👍🏼

Damn I just ordered one of those McLaren shirts 😅 hoping it doesn’t fit small like yours did
Why is bro wearing a shirt over a shirt … nah
Should've tried more of the Johnny collar shirts. Personally I get some soft T-shirts from the 3 packs and some button up shirts there. That's it.
Has been for a couple of years but nice you jumped on the 🚂.
omg take the damn hat of before put the tee
Just an FYI Eddie Win a fellow NE native did a video on Abercrombie a year ago. Its funny yall are doing one now.
Why’s it funny?
@@_1Brick1_ abercrombie is always good. Yall don't need some sneaker guys reminding you, and if you did the stuff is probably not in your lane anyway. No big. No fomo from not shopping at abercrombie
A&F and Hollister are well regarded in the uk, better quality than h&m etc and reasonably priced for the basic stuff
Definitely better quality than H&M. I don't really shop at H&M due to their quality being so poor, unless if I need some cheap dress clothes for a one-time occasion. Lol
Rich getting ideas from A&F lmao

Abercrombie is basically a cheaper alternative to brands like Kith and ALD. Which is v dope at times.
How you gonna try everything on with your shirt on still?

Tan rubbing the briefs on his face is crazy 😂😂😂
Cutout Richie is definitely Canadian
I mess with A&F. I've been liking their new stuff.
We want the minimal story🙏🙏
Richie, your sundried hoodies are $68 and came with a fresh outta china plastic bag and smell. Do better
Bro their price points are outrageous
They have stopped doing decent sales as well
What you mean? The black guy is the ALD model!!🙄🤦🏿♂️😩🤷🏿♂️😂😂
It wasn’t worth purchasing at any point
Jack Wills has the same vibe but better quality
Funny how they comment bout items being overpriced when the rlc brand is overpriced as well
I agree with you guys! I always stop by Abercrombie when I go to the mall but for some reason I rarely ever buy anything!
LOL @ "They're not AS racist". (But, they're still low key racist.)

Please review Shien next.
13:58 what are you doing Tan? never thought someone test softness and try it on their face😂
Need more of these on other brands! So many online-only brands out now, hard to tell from just their photos what's worth copping!

These dudes saying too tight and they are trying it on with a shirt and hat still on…
