Abercrombie/Hollister/Jack Wills

Saw a thread about them being fake or whatever. So thought I'd turn this thread into a debate for people to let out their opinions on the brands.
Would you wear it?
Do you agree with the price?

Personally I love them. The quality is amazing - shut up for people who say it isn't - I still wear the stuff I brought like over 3 years ago - and yeah it's still in fashion because the clothes are timeless.

But a pet hate, is someone who wears the name of the shop in capitol letters right across their top/hoodie/trackies when they aren't even do sport at the time. It's clearly the only item they own.

I am employed by Jack Wills and I think they're fantastic. They're an awesome company and I love wearing the clothes. They're different, my kind of colours/style and I like their signature layered look. I think the clothes are manufactured to a high standard and although the prices are quite high I think it's justified as it's meant to be seen as something special or exclusive.

I like Hollister, good for everyday wear, they have some cute items and the prices I feel are extremely reasonable, again it's good quality and like you say it doesn't go 'out'. Abercrombie is expensive to buy in the UK, it's much more reasonable in the US which is why I will only buy whilst there on holiday now. They make some very pretty tops from time to time.

Be honest I'm not a big hoodies/trackies person so having any logo emblazoned across my front doesn't really appeal. I can see why people like it though because it makes them feel part of something I guess.

I know people give all 3 brands a bad rep because they don't like the image they portray, especially Jack Wills but I whole heartedly disagree. I've met some really nice colleagues, feel like it's a great team, it's a social job etc, I enjoy talking to people that come in and helping them and I get paid for it.

Whatever anyone says at the end of the day all 3 companies are extremely successful. Profit only comes from customers buying the product and when you have a turnover as high as JW/Abercrombie/Hollister then you're doing something right.

Jack Wills used to be very preppy, but chavs have got hold of it now, hence Aublin and Wills (think that's what it's called)!
Hollister is awesome, although shops are popping up everywhere now so it's rather common now, although the prices aren't expensive at all, £40 for a hoodie!!
A and F is cool too, very expensive in England however much better prices in America obviously, so if you go there make sure you stock up, just like I did!!

Chavs don't wear Jack Wills. D:

chavs do wear jw... it makes them think they look rich :') but when your hair is obviously dyed, straightened and a TON of makeup and then you have JACK WILLS hoodie and fake uggs (or real if they have a lucky xmas pressie) then it just looks funny :')

I've personally never seen them wear it Ha, I hate people who's hair is clearly dyed. Either do it right ot don't do it! Especially when they dye it black, but leave their almost non-existant eyebrows blonde...

black is good, blonde however

The US equivalent of chavs have taken over Abercrombie as well. Now the majority of people that wear A&F are either rednecks, white trash, or pre-teens. A lot of the internationals (mainly chinese/korean and indian) wear AF to school. I think the last time I ever wore something produced by AF was 6 years ago. Now I just wear ralph lauren. Although, hollister makes some solid jeans.

I disagree actually. Abercrombie, I can sometimes find cheaper than Jack Wills. Like I got a skirt from there the other day for £50. Whereas it's about £60-70 in JW. I guess it's different for different products though.
