Abercrombie’s attitude towards plus-sized women derives from CEO Mike Jeffries....
"He doesn’t want larger people shopping in his store, he wants thin and beautiful people, He doesn’t want his core customers to see people who aren’t as hot as them wearing his clothing. People who wear his clothing should feel like they’re one of the ‘cool kids.'”
“It’s almost everything. That’s why we hire good-looking people in our stores. Because good-looking people attract other good-looking people, and we want to market to cool, good-looking people. We don’t market to anyone other than that,”
“In every school there are the cool and popular kids, and then there are the not-so-cool kids,” he told the site. “Candidly, we go after the cool kids. We go after the attractive all-American kid with a great attitude and a lot of friends. A lot of people don’t belong [in our clothes], and they can’t belong. Are we exclusionary? Absolutely."

I find it really tough to rate these deals, given the incredible price difference between the UK & US for identical products. Good deal compared to UK RRP, bad deal in general for purchase given you can get it a lot cheaper in the US.

As someone far removed from their target demographic, I only visit their local store to break wind, then quickly leave.

If you think you can get the deal cheaper elsewhere factoring in the cost of a plane ticket, accomedation in the US if required, travel to and from an Abercrombie store, paying the import duty at customs if more than £250 worth (i think) then it's not a good deal. If you live in the UK and this is the cheapest you can buy these products in this country then it's a good deal, regardless if you can get a better deal IF you lived in another country.
Given your logic, every mobile phone deal here is rubbish given how much cheaper a phone contract costs in India or China!! :-)

Yeah my brother lives in Canada and my mum always brings me back so much because of the price difference, main reason I posted it was so people might be able to get them last minute xmas presents cheaper, which is what I doing :wink:

Have you seen Mike Jeffries? He's one ugly dude who shouldn't be seen in his own clothes...

Mike Jeffries did however step down in 2014. I think a lot of companies have this attitude but he had the balls or nerve to say it. Think Jimmy Choo shoes (they don't look built to carry the 18-20 stone woman!) :-).

He's got a valid point tho... The brand is associated with good looking people, don't want that ruining by ugly and obese people!

Well said. We don't want fat overweight people. Even their carbon foot print is bigger that the normal people because they eat a lot and **** a lot.
They should diet and go down the gym. Become healthier and they wear what ever they want. The man is right. Good looking people attract other good looking people.
The overweight society should get a gym pass not moan on forums and munching popcorn at home in front of the pc
