I guess the dog had enough sense to scoot. Boy, could this use a "racism" tag.

I wonder if A&F of that era would be intrigued at A&F of today, all tatty clothing and soft-core male porn in their shops.

Err, is the hunt's tag for hunting, or... the Hunt's company? The one that makes the ketchup?

All I can think is "Buy our gun and you'll be Ernest goddamn Hemingway."

Avoiding the elephants altogether is also an excellent way to avoid being stepped on by them.

I see that back in the day the design brief was "pretty much naked grown-ass porn-bait men of color" rather than today's "pretty much naked underage porn-bait boys".

Of course I suppose this reflects a change from the men being hunters to the boys being the hunted. *shudder*

A&F has given me the creeps for years, not gonna lie.

wtf? i had no idea Abercrombie ever actually sold sporting goods. i just sort of assumed they always sold clothes tailor-made for the stuck-up kids who taunted me in high school.

The abercrombie of now is not really related to the past abercrombie stores. They used to be a big sporting wear store, but went out of business sometime in the 70's. A different company bought the name and rebranded it to its current format.
