Abercrombie & Fitch
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Maybe even Abercrombie if something is on sale.
- Some recommendations to explore: Mid-range: RW&CO, Old Navy, Abercrombie (trust), Banana Republic, KOTN, COS
- Grab a navy textured polo (like a sweater polo or a nice pique) from Abercrombie's sale section or Uniqlo. It costs almost the same but looks ten times more expensive.
- My favorite button down is a vintage Abercrombie I got for like $20
- Some brands/styles I really like are Vans, Adidas Originals, Lucky Brand, Abercrombie, Free People, Lacoste, H&M, Farm Rio.
Cons
- Gap, Abercrombie, AE, Frame, Levi, Mother all get F's on the low rise front. They all have their own pattern archives they could have sourced from.
- Abercrombie has some stuff that’s fine, but it’s pretty cheap and it won’t last you.
- But with Abercrombie for example, just look at the change from the old Emerson dress to the new one—still 100% cotton, but thinner and less substantial.
- i’ve tried torrid, american eagle, good american (although i should revisit some of their different styles), levi’s, and abercrombie.

Abercrombie I’ve had good experiences with as far as consistency of sizing, which is usually a key indicator of quality control. There are occasional duds, but due to the limited amount of stuff they release each season (compared to Zara), I think they’re able to keep their clothes reasonably well made.
