I had almost forgotten about that. I remember the tv ads where some shirtless teen-looking guy was in some basement or warehouse and he was giving short one-answer responses to some gravel-voiced older man off camera, giving the whole spot a sort of kiddie-porn screen test flavor. I think it ran for about a month before people caught on and demanded it get pulled.

Geezus those are bad. They want how much for those? I have a bunch of vietnam jungle fatigue cutoff shorts that I stole from my dad's trunk, look just like that, you can come get them for free.

The only thing the A&F shorts are missing is the smell.

When did it become fashionable to dress like a coal miner anyway?

I think the phase started in the late 80's when all the rockers wore beat up cami jackets. Then came grunge. Now we have, whatever you call it.

Bah - put on a suit and be done with it. Kids these days, no style I tell you.

Yesterday he had an auction for a catalogue that was at $56andchange but the high bidder had no prior history. No feedback posted that shows him as a seller. I guess give it a few days and see what materializes.

I can't wait to see what A&F's Spring Catalogue looks like. Could be a new collectible market forming.

just another sleezy marketing ploy aimed at pimple faced teens

Who could resist a pair of pants like these 100% cotton Air Infantry Cargo Pants, with "zipper fly, vintage military zips & trims, drawcords at hems, screenprint graphic, contoured waist, aqua dyed tint, Vintage Abercrombie Wash, Classic Fit" for $60?

I have to admit, the camo version might be useful, but I think I could get some used military surplus for a lot less money.
