I've been wearing the Popover Hoodie very often for the past 6 months and I haven't had a single pilling problem so far and the color has faded very little. It's one of my favorite hoodies and I absolutely recommend it!
Thanks for the honesty bro! I also find the AF cropped is TOO short, I don't wany my belly button showing if I just simply move. Overall I think AF are moving towards a good direction but as you mentioned, a lot of "trendy" stuff.
@@kevinauyeung8 to be fair I think they do a better job at the trendy stuff than some other brands. That price point just gotta come down for me to be on board.
A&F for me is like 40% great value, 40% just not good for the money and 20% absolute dog water. And I personally hate shopping at places like that where it is like spinning a wheel.
dont usually comment but been watching your videos since the baggy jeans one, and its like you make a video about what im in need of every time. one thing ill say, ive had the popover hoodie since like 2021 or 2022 and the hoodie has been in my rotation since. ive washed it countless times, never ran into pilling or anything like that. i got it in large in black and its definitely shrunk down to like a medium and the color has faded just a little, but i think thats a given for a hoodie going onto its third year. recently with their black friday deals i snagged a few for like 40 dollars, which is definitely a steal in my opinion. i know recently people have started to care a lot more about heavier GSM/more premium hoodies which are super cozy (which i dont think the abercrombie one is), but i've just been hesitant on buying from these lesser-known brands and paying so much in shipping. that being said it'd be cool if you check out those sorts of brands and test them for me😂
Thanks for the comment! Glad I could get you the info you need. Yeah I had another person comment the same thing about the hoodie and pinned it so other people can see, it’s good to know! Any particular smaller brands you had in mind for me to check out?
@@vo_san theyre not really small brands, just not the typical commercially available brands. the brand i was going to try was watc studios, but some others i heard about were hours, 13 studios and lucid blanks and im sure there are a LOT more that i just dont know about that are better. mainly tryna find the best mix of affordability, coziness and quality in a blank hoodie.
I’ve been buying AF jeans since last year. I have like 5 pairs, they’re amazing quality. They also have a “short” version for some pieces, example: linen pants. It’s a bit pricey but the quality is better than H&M, Zara, and maybe even Uniqlo
What sweatpants would you recommend right now for something higher quality than the Abercrombie ones? I'm always open to paying more for something that will and be a timeless piece.
1:50 naww 150$ for pleather is crazy, just get a real leather jacket secondhand for cheaper, plenty to find around 90$~ range even on more curated vintage online stores, its better for your wallet and the environment anyways. I promise youd like it more or atleast have a better idea of how to feel about them if it was real leather. The way they wrap around your body is wayy different from pleather, like when you did the turn around, even though it looks like it would form to your body, there were so many obvious wrinkles, which could be from people previously trying it on and stretching the plastic.

@@Cristian-lf1tx thanks for sharing! Good to know. Gonna pin your comment
Abercrombie's rebrand has to be taught in Marketing classes for decades to come
For sure! They also made a the great choice of hiring Aaron Levine for their men's line.

@@vo_sanconstantly sales though, just like gap, just wait a few weeks and it’s on some kind of sale.

@@dukenukem4ever739 totally agree! They got their denim on lock 👌🏼

I still need to do my research! Will probably make a video for it later.
Thanks for the cargo pant review I was just ab to cop one. Do yk any better alternatives?
@@yusufazeem9041 for an affordable option I honestly like the wide/baggy ones from Uniqlo. For a higher price option I like Carhartt wip!
BEST…BIRTHDAY…EVER
also had the best surprise cameo since Avengers Endgame
😂 he’s a star
What camo jacket are you wearing though and what size 😅
Carhartt wip size med!
As someone who really enjoys the cropped fits, abercrombie has become a new favorite of mine
Makes sense! They probably do it best out of the mall brands
Bro, what's your height for reference? Thanks
@@dustinbikes6256 I’m 5’9” 160 lbs!
7:41 (me being 5'9)
How tall r u
@@diego.tarallo 5’9”!
Can you review muji next? similar to Gu and uniqlo
Great idea!
What size do you wear for that carhartt jacket?
Medium!
Why did you put a picture of Metaphor in the opening I saw that 😭
@@wistfulaether I just beat it 😂 good catch
85% plastic pants for 90$... That's absurd...
That’s the material blend from most of the mall brands but agreed $90 is a lot when Uniqlo is coming in at $50

Gotcha I won’t give up on leather yet! 🫡
How do you talk about Abercrombie and not mention their amazing polo shirts 🤦♂️ also does everything have to be baggy?
I choose items that I would be interested in and I like wider clothes rn 🤷🏻♂️ if I ever need a polo I’ll check it out though!
@ yeah I get it youre one of those baggy style guys. I’m a straight/fitted style guy like Brandon Balfour 🤷♂️
ID one the shoes
Dress shoes
Josepht belbin shoes!
I like your coat😘

They peaked about 2-3 years ago. Too trend/fast fashion now and quality has dropped/prices increased.
Found a tokki lol
I’m not sure what this means 😅
