Hollister fashion too good for Vets.

After reading years ago about Hollister/Abercrombie and Fitch only hiring what they deemed 'attractive' people, I have neither worn nor purchased their products. I had considered that perhaps I should rethink my actions as companies can change their morals. Evidently H/A&C have not. Now I will not even enter their stores.

Just in time for Christmas too.

I never bought any of their crap anyway but it is time for the boycott to begin.

The original Abercrombie and Fitch was a great outdoors outfitter... hit hard times and Hollister ruined them.

My grandfather swore by their outdoor gear. IIRC, they were part of the supply chain for WWI, WWII, Korea and the early part of VN... how things change.
