At what age are you too old to wear Abercrombie & Fitch?

It’s point where your parents stop buying you stuff and you have to start buying you own things. So yeah it’s somewhere around there.
.5 months.
There was ONE thing at AF that i saw and liked..it was a shirt that had an outline of the country of Iraq and it said
Baghdad ass up!
i got a kick out of that one.

I was never into that kind of crapp, GF would always buy me American Eagle/AF/Aero crapp and the only time I would wear it is when we would go out and she would say "oh, you know what would look nice...? That shirt I bought you for xmas/bday/whatever" Even if she, or my parents, bought it for me, I always though paying 2-3 times as much for a stupid ass shirt was stupid. Hell I can go to Goody's or whatever and buy a whole damn outfit for that price.
But I surely wouldn't want to see anyone that was above college age wearing that stuff, they should know better.

If you want something that is simple, looks good, is decently priced and will last, buy some Dickies. I have a couple of pairs of Jnco jeans, and some of them have taken some abuse, but they are 3-4x the price of Dickies and none have lasted as long.
As for the whole "Abercrombie" thing.. I've never owned any of their clothes. I really think that the more expensive brand names mean nothing. Usually you are paying for an item which has a brand name that is known to be expensive. This somehow makes you look like you are a more important person, or that you have money. The illusion of wealth.
I'm not going to pay $30 for a black T-shirt that bears a Tommy, Guess, Gap or any other logo when I can pay $10 for a 3-pack of Fruit of the Loom or Haynes T-Shirts that will look better [I HATE logos!] and will last longer. Also with the cheaper ones, if you mess them up any, you will have no problem throwing a shirt away.
Here's how I see things:
Unless it's for dressing up nice, paying more than $30 for a pair of pants or a shirt is out of the question. Less than $20 is more like it.
Paying more than $30 for shoes unless they are for dressing up, running or some other special purpose [buying basketball shoes doesn't count as special purpose if you wear them for looks instead of for playing basketball], is crazy.
I understand that you like the cute or smart-ass saying on your t-shirt, but you paid HOW MUCH for it at Hot Topic or Gadzooks? More than $20 for a T-shirt is insanity. I'll sell you the COOLEST shirt for $30, and I have a bridge for sale if you are interested, too.
I understand that some people have money, and they want to show it off, but frittering your money away on something so frivolous is grounds for public beating.

In August I was in Arizona, visiting my family. WalMart was having a sale. I don't know if it was a local sale because pants are hot in the summer, especially in Arizona, or what.. but Dickies carpenter pants were on sale for like $12 a pair. I loaded up.

I've bought one thing at abercrombie and Fitch. A pair of jeans. They cost me 75 bucks and I got to wear them twice before they were shreaded and the belt loops started falling off. I say your too old after you start paying for yourr own clothing and learn something about economics.

i always liked how the people that didnt have jobs or payed for any of their own things would strut arround in a&f , american eagle showing off their parents wallet.
Maybe we are to far north Ive never heard of them either.

I hadn't even heard of Abercrombie up until a few months ago when I was given a really nice corduroy jacket as a going away present at the place I worked. It's great, warm and comfy and looks cool and blahblah, but I would never had bought it myself
I actually thought it was a clothing line for old men, I didn't know it was like some preppy thing.. weird
Oh well, it's nice and it was free!

lol, i was in nyc the other day and desided to walk in a "designer" clothing store. There was a shirt there that had the word "bitch" written across it in red, and was going for $350. I shit you not
ya that doesnt suprise me really, i saw one shirt a while back on a lil hottie that just said "do me" instead of do it... but she was way tooo young for me.
