Your post caused me to look up their history. Essentially, the original company shut its doors in 1977...and another company bought the name and mailing list in 1978. Today’s company really has absolutely nothing to do with the original. I had no idea.
The MAD TV spoofs they did on Abercrombie are probably more truthful than some care to admit.
I loved shopping in Chicago’s Abercrombie And Fitch Co. many years ago. They had such good golf stuff and skying stuff. I’d spend a lot of time looking and picking out. So much fun.
