CatherineM Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Most clothing companies use soft core to peddle their wares. I sew my own clothes to avoid the whole issue. No one wants to see me go nudist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mommas_boy Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 [quote name='Veridicus' post='1587622' date='Jun 30 2008, 11:03 PM']I am not sure it matters. Americans are such hypocrites about all of these things. We won't allow sweatshops here but we don't mind buying from companies that employ them elsewhere. We don't want to drill for oil in ANWAR because of the ecological impact it may have...but we don't mind letting other countries destroy their own environments so we can buy their oil. It's all part of the same problem: we are hypocritical between our local and our global policies. Sorry for the rant...it can be ignored.[/quote] It's called [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nimby"]NIMBYism[/url]. Welcome to America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've altered shirts from the thrift store but that's as much as I've given a decent try. PS - thanks for the prayers Catherine; you're definitely in mine too. I'm terrible at mail but know that you've been in my thoughts very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigid Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I've never even been in an A&F... I never have and never will buy their clothes. I know that they have (or if they don't any more, they used to have) nude models in their magazines. that's reason enough for me to not shop there. even if they've stopped doing that, I have more reasons not to shop there. their clothes are high priced, they plaster their brand name all over every item of clothing, and I can't even walk past their store without seeing several pictures of guys with their shirts off - I don't even want to think of what it's like inside the store. I realize that there are pictures of guys with their shirts off in lots of stores, but it seems to me like A&F does it a little more, or at least more obviously.

Selah Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 pfft. Aeropostale is waaaay better. And no, I don't think it's immoral to wear abercrombie and fitch. Unless you get something there that's really trashy looking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fides quarens intellectum Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 [quote name='Veridicus' post='1587715' date='Jun 30 2008, 10:46 PM']There was an April geniuses Day hoax about his conversion back in 2005...it amounted to that alone, though: a hoax. I would say the lyrical composition of Tool's latest album suggests he is more on the side of theism than he used to be...although I would say its more of a new-age, embrace the eternal consciousness, almost hindu weirdness more than Christianity. I'm still praying for the guy![/quote] thanks for the crushing news.

To me, if a clothing store's marketing campaigns are rooted in lust (especially considering their consumer target base of teens to mid-twenties), well, let's just say i am not a fan.

HisChildForever Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 They actually don't have high quality clothing there, considering their high prices. I'd only shop there if I have a gift card. Hollister is the same, though not as pricey. After wearing one t-shirt and washing it maybe two or three times, the material began to ball up.

missionarybelle Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I don't wear their clothes because i don't support them as a company. Their avdvertising is disgusting and their clothes are sometimes very poor quality. I don't want my money to support them. but even if somone gave me clothes from them i probably woulnd't wear it because i don't want others to think that I support them.
