Difference Between Abercrombie And Fittch

Everyone has a different body shape and measurement, and it is hard for retailers to satisfy every customer with a perfect sizing. Retailers have their own size measurements, and people eventually buy clothes at various sizes. Jeans and pants are the one of the garments that most people try on before purchasing, because the silhouette and the fit changes depend on the measurements. Thus, I went to the three different manufactures to compare the fit of three pairs of jeans. I went to STROM, Abercrombie & Fitch, and H&M and chose the same silhouette and size to compare the actual measurements. I examined three pairs of skinny jeans from the three different retailers. Because all they were skinny jeans, they had similar style and construction.

As I said earlier, the STROM jeans and the Abercrombie & Fitch jeans had some loose or wide fits on some part of their garments compared to the H&M jeans. When I tried the STROM jeans, the waistline fit tight and allowed plenty of room for breathing but the hip and the thigh has too much adequate room. The Abercrombie & Fitch jeans kept slipping down when I tried them on because the waist and hips area were too big. The H&M jeans fit perfectly. Their waist, hips, and thigh fit smoothly and comfortably. It was really interesting fact that high price lines generally make bigger and the low price lines make smaller. One of the reasons why expensive lines tend to run large is because “[they] are sometimes referred to as being vanity sized because they appeal to the vanity of customers who want to think of themselves as wearing a small-labeled size” (Brown & Rice, 2014). Also, on the other hand, low price lines generally “tend to run small—smaller than most other garments of the same-labeled size—in an effort to conserve fabric” (Brown & Rice, 2014). It turns out that my comparison of the three different pairs of jeans prove that the statements by Brown and Rice are true because STROM and Abercrombie & Fitch are a little high price lines while H&M is obviously a low price line. The STROM jeans were $184.00, the Abercrombie & Fitch jeans were $58.00, and the H&M jeans were
