I'm so MAD right now...

Do something behind their back if you can... Payback is a bitch but it's the price you pay sometimes...

And as far as Abercrombie, no thanks, I can stain and rip my own jeans...

Which zip-up was it?

I work at Abercrombie and Fitch; while I can't do anything about the sentimental value of the hoodie, I MIGHT be able to replace it dirt-cheap. There are a couple winter left-overs and returns lying around/hidden in the stock-room (that probably won't be there much longer - they'll either get thrown-out by management or, more likely, bought by employees). I think there are a couple of the $250 jackets that have been marked down to $40. Just the other day, one of the guys I work with bought the Ezra Fitch cashmere sweater (full-price: ~$300) for $20.

Most of the left-over stuff is horribly out-of-style (that's the stuff that'll be thrown-out), but I might be able to find you a gem.

...the perks of the job go beyond the 30% (occasionally 50%) discount and the fact that I am paid to flirt with girls all day (don't tell my girlfriend).

Its on the website right now. There called Burntbridge Pond zip up fleece. Anyways, the girls told me that the guy they were with stole it. I talked to them this morning. I took the advice found the kid, and simply talked with him, he played it off like he didn't take it. I told him 1 of you 4 have to have it, and he said yea, and I was like I dont care just have it back to me by mon, and then shit wont hit the fan. I could tell he has it b/c he was very nervous. We'll see what he does, if he's smart he'll bring it to me on mon. He'll probably make up some dumb exscuse about how he got it from someone else and is giving it to me.

And if he doesn't bring it on mon, Im either going to get him behind his back, or just run up on him swinging when he wheres something nice and take the hoodie off his back...

I think he just means the guy that wears the costume...

Whoah...whoah...whoah!

What do you mean "...guy who wears the costume"

My world is shattered once again!

Sorry. He's not real. Not like Spartacat, and S.J. Sharkie, and Youppi.

[Chadd 916]

hot.

Gary Busey has a brother?

[mack 44]

I hope Mel Gibson does too and he shoots him just like in Lethal Weapon.

[LkptTiger 1]

That picture doesn't do the guy justice - he's much creepier-looking in person.

He actually came through our store a few months back - I was in the stock room looking for a shirt for a customer - alone - when he came in. He opened the door to the back room and yelled "HEY, EVERYBODY!!!" in a voice that just made me stop and go "Holy SHIT this guy is gay." We introduced ourselves, shook hands and spoke briefly, then his "thugs" tore the place apart looking for the smallest deviations from everything Home Office dictates (which is, in actuality, just about everything).

Its on the website right now. There called Burntbridge Pond zip up fleece.

Alright, that's still I.F. (just came-out a little while ago - pretty popular item as far as fleece goes), so I guess I'm not going to be able to get you a ridiculously low price on a replacement, after all. Sorry, buddy. For some reason, I just assumed we were talking about an older, heavier hoodie that might have been released sometime last fall as opposed to one out of the spring set.

I think the one thing at work that I get the biggest kick out of (besides the "batting practice" one of the managers and I occasionally take in the back room using security sensors and a wiffle ball bat - there are now all kinds of gashes in the ceiling tiles and no one else can figure-out where they came from) are the "Premium" Remsen and Baxter jeans: if I'm going to spend $400 on a pair of jeans, they're not going to be by Abercrombie and Fitch.

[Vapor 0]

not to mention that ripped distressed jeans have been out of style for 2 years...

[LkptTiger 1]

...which is exactly what the "Premium" jeans are - there is no non "destroyed" alternative.

At least the Ezra line had options.

[mack 44]

Jesus, is 34 really their longest inseam?

[Thockey17 1]

the "Premium" Remsen and Baxter jeans: if I'm going to spend $400 on a pair of jeans, they're not going to be by Abercrombie and Fitch.

The same could be said for their $69.50/$79.50 jeans. The again, im a sucker for selvage/raw denim, not AF styles.

[mack 44]

Good call on the selvage. I got some Helmut Langs dirt cheap uncut at 40" and they just needed to be surged.

Im probably going to scoop up some HL's next. I've heard great things about them. Most of the denim i own is is APC, but i found some Gap Selvages for $10 each which are pretty nice aswell.

[kosydar 0]

Gap has a legit sale rack. I found multiple pairs of $70-80 jeans for $15 this year.

[Viking 1]

Gap clearance is definitely where it's at, but because so much stuff goes on sale, and the price falls so fast, I never even look at stuff at full price anymore, because I know I can just wait for it to come on sale, and I assume I'm not the only person that does this.

Let me get this straight: $200 is way too much for a OPS but $200 to $400 is just A-OK for jeans? Its f'n good to be this far out of the loop.

[Vapor 0]

cotton denim is EXXXPENSIVE!

[RadioGaGa 162]

Amen. Find me a pair of $29.99 Wranglers and I'm happy.

[trevor13478 1]

its all about the levis and old navy, i wont go over 30 bucks

i hate how hard it is to find jeans without holes and tears and rips and stains and shit all over them now. If i want to wear swiss cheese on my pants ill do the damage myself rather than spend 100 bucks on something that looks like it came out of some farmers closet

[Jordan6969 0]

Theres a lot of other legit ways to get premium jeans much cheaper than 200-400 just like there is for a OPS.

[AnthonyJTa 0]

yeah, I love my jeans like I love my women... cheap, and loose. Element denim, $10 on a clearance rack at a Pac Sun... got 3 different pairs, love 'em

[ExitTwoEighty 7]

I just read from the first post to the end, LkptTiger did you ever get your sweater back? Now i need to know haha. Would've been awesome if you got your sweater back and still punched him in the face to teach him a lesson. But that may be a bit much.

[DamnLocust 0]

Are you sure you read the WHOLE thread?

LkptTiger never lost his sweater, it was Tyler33.

who would want a cheap or lose woman? Hmmm. With (most) brands you get what you pay for, if you are paying 10 dollars for jeans you are not getting top notch quality. But at the same time if you are paying 800 dollars for jeans, while you are getting great quality, they are a status symbol.

Remember kids, QUALITY is better than QUANTITY. Why not have one good belt rather than 10 crappy ones.

[Cavs019 708]

That doesn't really apply to clothes because if you wear the same jeans every day you're still a dirt bag, despite whatever status you may have obtained by paying 800 dollars for them.
