Abercrombie and Fitch does not promote very good values. Some of the pictures and advertisements in their store are rather revealing and suggest immoral acts. However, I guess it is in the eye of the beholder. When I was in the dressing room there was an advertisement for low-rise jeans that said something to the effect of "in case you can't get the zipper down" with a picture of two young people starting to have sex. Now, who are we to say that these two people who are about to have sex are not married? (although I am lead to believe that this is a one-night stand) And what about their "tree house" that they advertise; what do you suppose is happening in that tree house? (but once again that is just an assumption) The point is when you go there are you adopting their attitudes? Moreover, do you really want to give them money for what they are promoting?
Usually I shop at Hollister Co. (which is owned by Abercrombie and Fitch) some of their articles of clothing and advertisements do not promote very moral lifestyles either, but I don't ever buy those shirts that suggest such acts and I don't feel that I am adopting thier attitudes either.
P.S. I looked at some of the other responses and I see that some people are concerned about the cost of their clothes. I do agree that Abercrombie and Fitch has high prices (Hollister isn't exactly the cheapest store on the block either), but I feel that God is more important to me than the money I have or the clothes I buy and I give money to the Church and those in need, so as long as my proirites are set there should be no problem.
I can't say for sure wether or not Abercrombie's clothes are made in sweatshops or if Abercrombie is exploiting people making their clothes, but that could be the case anywhere (do you really think that Wal Mart is paying their workers an honest price?). The least we can do is to be thankful for what we have and pray for those who made our clothes or help get them to us.

It's a sin to buy their stuff at those prices, but not a sin to shop there. It's stupid to even ask. I'm not christian, but I really doubt one of the 10 commandments was "thou shalt not obtain items sold by Abercrombie & Fitch" or "thou shalt not buy that tiny expensive miniskirt"
I'm just saying.

Thirty bucks for a plain t shirt? That would fit a Cabbage Patch doll better then it would me and my chest?
Yes, that is a sin!
(Never shopped in one and never will!)

Yes you have to have more money than sense to shop there.

Not if you approve of thongs for 10 year old girls that say "eye candy" and "wink wink".
