Abercrombie and Fitch today announced that they are going to be closing all of their Ruehl stores by the end of the year.
Ruehl was an attempt by the company to target an older, post-college customer than their younger Abercrombie or Hollister brands. This meant extremely dark, but funky stores, selling extremely similar lines to Abercrombie [...]

I’ve been aware of Simon Miller Jeans for a while now, ever since I tried to see how my site was doing in Google rankings (not very well unfortunately). Anyways, they are a premium line of very nice jeans from California.
I saw them a couple of weeks ago while perusing the mens’ section in Selfridges. [...]

Hollister – where I get a lot of my clothes when I’m out in Dallas visiting the folks, and recently arrived in this country, which I was a bit disappointed about. Anyways, seeing as I was in London over Christmas, I decided to head out to Westfield and go and check out one of two [...]

The Westfield London shopping centre opened on Friday. It’s the largest urban shopping centre in Europe, and right across the road from Television Centre, so me and my mate Charlie Brown went to check it out on Friday afternoon (after work of course).
I am annoyed that after Abercrombie, Hollister is now opening shops in the [...]

I do about 600 lengths swimming every week. It’s the only thing I do to keep myself fit, and I enjoy it. But I do need some new goggles as my current ones keep fogging up now. I’m going to get these Speedo Commes des Garcons ones as I think they make you look a [...]

I was in London on Friday for work, so took the opportunity to stay over and do some quick shopping as well. I made my first visit to Abercrombie’s first store in the UK, in Burlington Gardens, just off Saville Row.
My thoughts? Well it is enormous for a start – much bigger than any [...]

Well my invite must have got lost in the post, but yesterday Abercrombie opened their first UK store – in Saville Row in London. I’ll need to check it out next time I’m over.
They’ve also opened a UK specific website – here, and pricing (which seems quite steep compared to US prices) now include import [...]

The good news: Urban Outfitters is coming to Belfast.
The bad news: In March 2008.

I don’t know whether it’s a good thing, or a bad thing, but in an annual report published today on Abercrombie’s corporate website, the company Chairman announced that London will open an Abercrombie flagship store in Spring 2007.
Time I find someplace else to buy clothes when I’m in Dallas that no-one else will have over [...]

I buy a lot of clothes from Abercrombie and Hollister when I’m in the US, and Abercombie is on its way to the UK soon, but until then, us Brits have Jack Wills – it’s probably the closest thing we have to Abercrombie, with a bit of a British twist (rugby shirts and the like). [...]
