Abercrombie & Fitch Hates Fat Chicks

[moosebag]

Not available in XL: Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries accused of only wanting 'thin and beautiful people' - Home News - UK - The Independent

And? His company, his choice.

Seems to have worked out ok, although not sure they are still popular.

 

[eldirector]

Um..... duh?

 

[Trigger Time]

Yeah I figured that out a few years ago (I was even in good shape) and I walked into the store and none of the shirts even fit around my neck without choking me. Then I look around and realize the only other male customers are stick people. And the same for the chicks ... I'd split them in two pieces

If they want to ostracize a consumer base with perfectly good money to spend so be it. Their loss, heavier people (like myself) will be glad to shop elsewhere.

 

[hoosierdoc]

I can't find anything my wife's size at Lane Bryant either. Makes me so mad

 

[buckhunter21]

Non issue.....don't like it, don't shop there. I find the quote refreshing in today's overly politically correct world.

I was over at my friends house the other day and his wife said she had just bought him some nice shirts for him to get dressed up in and proceeded to pull out an abercrombie bag. My jaw hit the floor, i couldnt believe any male would wear anything from that place after middle school. Or anyone would think they make anything of any quality. For the price of their stuff you can get nautica or tommy hilfiger, and even on sale ralph lauren. 10x better and much more respectable.

There are all kinds of specialty stores that cater only to a specific group, or race of people. So why should they be any different? If you don't like what they have, or it doesn't fit you.. Don't shop there.

I cant justify spending that kind of money on a friggin t-shirt or jeans. Then again, I work on cars, mow my own grass, drink my coffee black straight out of a coffee pot, and dont wear a ton of grease in my ultra-hip hair do, so some super tight expensive clothes just dont go well with me.

 

[mcolford]

Not only that, but a lot of folks on here feel that you have a right to control your property, well the owner has a right to own and his company the way he sees fit. Dont like it, dont buy it, real simple.

True. If I want cheese cloth clothes that cost a fortune and only cover one arm then ill go there. Otherwise for the money ill buy 3 shirts elsewhere that will last longer and look less gay too.

I can always find my size in Carhartt... At Rualking....For under $30.00

Just saying.

 

[singlesix]

Walmart doesn't have pants that will fit my skinny son, so I guess Wal-Mart hates skinny people.

 

[Sfrandolph]

So? Every other apparel manufacturer or retailer does the same thing. Big deal. Don't like it? Don't buy there.

 

[rwhitmore8]

Well if it makes you feel any better they don't make anything for small people at Big & Tall.

 

[nakinate]

Funny that this is news...has anyone looked at the A&F models over the past 20-30 years? They hate anyone whose not preppy hot. The real kicker is if you google the CEO, he is the weirdest looking person.

 

[atvdave]

I just want them to bring back bell bottom jeans....

 

[Caleb]

That explains why none of their clothes fits me...oh well, I can't justify spending that much money on clothes I'd quickly wear out.
