I personally think it was really hypocritical, I mean they use shirtless men for ads, but as soon as anyone in the store is shirtless their kicked out? I think it's quite a two-faced company.

hey jen, that sounds a bit chauvinistic, at least thats just my opinion anyway. what constitutes being a model anyway? they where there to not only make a point but to buy also. what if a friend or relative came into your store and didnt fit the image, would you be mad if they were kicked out? you are wrong!!!!!!!!

i work for hollister... i would have recruited the ones looking like my current models, and then asked everyone to buy a shirt or leave....
sales boost baby....

it's a fine line between brand damaging for the company, as they do not like any outside advertising, and that would have drawn media attention which is an unspoken no no.

The store manager lost a free marketing opportunity and made the store look hypocritical. What a better way to advertise A&F by having the shirtless men all leave the store wearing their product? Duh!

I think that this should have been embraced and made into an annual event. In fact, I would go one step further and offer a 10-15% discount to all shirtless men who actually wore the shirt out of the store. That was such a no brainer.

First off, I work at the A&F on 5th Ave and just happened to be working that day, and I must say, It was really funny seeing all those shirtless men walking around, but then again it did disrupt our store or a few minutes, as we were trying to escort them out.

When another associate asked me "how many men were in the store", I said about 30 or so, but I had no idea, that there were actually 111,
what a day.

that Abercrombie & Fitch store always has tourist moms and daughters giggling at the shirtless male models at the entrance...they probably were giggling a bit less with these guys!
