Abercrombie & Fitch Jackets Section:
Abercrombie and Fitch was originally a store that outfitted wealthy businessmen
for their outdoor pursuits, and it continued to sell such clothing to this
demographic until it was bought by The Limited (which owns Victoria's Secret) in
1988. Under the ownership of The Limited, Abercrombie began to make clothing
specifically designed for adolescents from wealthy, suburban families.
Abercrombie grew tremendously after establishing themselves as the clothing line
of choice for the "prep" clique in suburban high schools all across America. By 1999, they had 300 stores worldwide.
