is anyone else tired of these idiots with second-rate blogs (ie zeren) or annoying t-shirt shops (ie bitch republic) posting just for the sake of linking their sites?
queerty, you really need to monitor/regulate this.

Selling clothes is very rarely about the clothes themselves. It’s about getting the name out there in the public consciousness.
How many blog posts and news items do you think have been written about this worldwide? A&F’s exposure (pun intended) is going to be huge because of this, and that always translates into sales.
Gee, I wish I was smart like you EdWoody.
Must dash – gotta get back to gamboling in fields with no clothes on.
The clothes I’m not wearing today are from Aberkrom…
Abbacro..
Abycrom..
Ahh, who cares!

John, these catalogs used to be available here in the States, but the usual “concerned citizens” had them banned for obscenity. I have a couple and many of the shoots are really stupids, but there are a few really beautiful shots. It’s lousy that the catalogs are no longer sold here.
What annoys me is that if you go to any suburban town, you see homophobic jocks wearing A+F clothing as they harass the effeminite kid in gym class or push him in the hallway. Of course these same jocks have nipple piercings and tattoos on their lower back.
Raf Simons, Dries Van Noten, Heidi Slimane. While they all benefited from advertising, in the end they sell because the stuff rocks. I hate Abercrombie, they market to self loathing gay guys with the promise that you can look like a straight, Ivy league frat boy if you wear our clothes. But what you end up looking like is a gay boy DESPERATELY trying to look like a straight, Ivy league frat boy. I like my beautiful gay men beautifully dressed.
A&F used to be cool in England about 8 years ago.
You had to go to the States to buy their stuff – so by wearing it boys thought they looked like they were moneyed, sophisticated, “travelled” etc.
But, actually, when you saw someone Abercrombie you just assumed they were cabin crew…

These comments are out after this was news months ago about the exposure of male ass crack to the unwilling, sexually repressed, overweight, hard drinking, wife beating, child abusing, but I am a church going soldier on God’s right hand (so I know)manly men of the Christian Right. Is it because God blesed them with with erectile dysfunction so bad that even 6000 mg of Viagra won’t cure them?
hmm wacko comments …. OK back to reality girls. This photo op boy could have used some serious running and squats prior to the shoot. That ass needs 6 weeks at the gym before I’d shoot it. Then it would be the oh so nice juicy peach that is only potential via these pics. AnF clothing gets me harder. Yawwwwwn . . . What? oh buzz off…..

@Dan Leff: I could not agree more. This kid is so overrated anyway. That’s just how the typical Marietta system runs, though, and this guy got the best of it because Mommy and Daddy paved his way. I’m glad I’ve actually EARNED my way in life, and that there’s someone else out there who sees beyond the image that is Tyler Lough. Tyler Lough’s glory days can’t last forever. His dad, John, is one of the cockiest people I’ve ever met, and I’ve only ever interacted with him twice–twice too many times if you ask me.
Umm, so this is an ad campaign for a clothing line, where no one actually wears the clothes?
Fine and dandy by me…
Agreed. It’s lovely, but it’s not going to move clothes.
What would Hans Christian Andersen say?

What’s with the apples? Adam and Steve ?
Best porn book ever!

Not me, sourpuss. You?
Changed my mind.
I hate them.
I wonder what Weber is going to use the dick shots for…
WTF, I couldn’t agree more.
HKG, I suspect you’re joking, but the fact is, the nude shots are going to sell plenty of clothes.
What else do you think accounts for A&F’s success –innovative design?

Why is this “Europe only”? America is the greatest country in the world, isn’t it? Does it have something to do with the exchange rate right now?
Cause here in America, we like to keep our naked boys where they belong, in the bathhouses…

Len, actually I was serious. I must be old fashioned. I buy clothes based on the clothes. Maybe that’s why I don’t anything from A&F, LOL!!

I’m just very confused, I live in Paris and I have never seen a A&F store in Europe, so I’m wondering, how do I get my hands on this book?

I want Tyler to be my valentine this year.
Tyler is so beautiful the camera must be like an aroused lover on the brink of orgasm.

@dempewolf: And you’re a total jackass.
@Bradley: And you are obviously NOT a gay man so what are you doing making a comment like that?
