Abercrombie & Fitch - The Men Behind A&F

In the late 1800s, David Abercrombie and Ezra Fitch opened Abercrombie & Fitch, an outdoor gear and clothing store for wealthy businessmen. Although the store was popular and successful, it eventually went bankrupt, and in 1988, The Limited Inc. bought Abercrombie & Fitch and changed it into a fashionable clothing store for teens and college kids. They also operate abercrombie (for kids aged 7-14), Hollister Co. and RUEHL, which targets the twenty-something crowd.

Abercrombie & Fitch - The Collection

Abercrombie & Fitch is known for its preppy image and features guy's and girl's clothing such as woven shirts, polo tops, graphic t-shirts, wool sweaters, cargos and jeans. They also sell hats, belts, flip flops, jewelry and fragrances!
