the point is, 34 is supposed to mean 34 inches. I don't have to try on pants anywhere else, and I'm not really interested in vanity sizing.
That's definitely a no-no. I'm surprised it works for you usually, but I try everything on. If I don't, how do I know that this will work my my individual body type? Because of some number for one measurement out of all the dimensions on clothing?
I actually love Abercrombie and Fitch. Because I am tall and slender its hard finding clothing that actually fits without being too big in the chest (aka if I need long sleeves they think the person must also be heavier). Abercrombie is the only company that seems to fit my need for arm length and thinner chest as well as proper shirt length.
As for your shirt, from what I've seen all of their shirts have the same fit and its literally just the chest area that changes size throughout the small - medium - large- x-large - xx large.

They're pants. As long as the waist and length are right, the rest you should be able to eyeball. This is assuming that you're not buying tight pants, which is not something most men need to do. When I buy casual pants, there's definitely no hugging of contours, and therefore no need to fit some kind of "individual body type". When I say I "usually" don't try pants on, I actually mean every time except that one time at a&f.
Agreed. I'm sorry if the pants didn't fit, but you can't blame A&F for your laziness. It may have some number printed on a tag, but the change-rooms are there for a reason, and it's for you to try on the product before you purchase it. They can't be blamed for your laziness.
I've bought the "Ezra Fitch" dress shirts on clearance, because I don't feel that they're worth the $80. $35-$40 maybe but...
anyways, I haven't shopped there in a while, mostly due to my lack of disposable income (rent, groceries, and most importantly- a baby). If people get their kicks from buying $100 jeans and $80 shirts, more power to you. I've actually been wearing Aeropostale and American Eagle lately, because it's a bit more comfortable for my growing beer belly(which AF isn't!)
AE's quality has been on the decline lately. Seriously if you take a polo bought a year ago and compare it's thickness with a new one, the new one is so much thinner.
there are seriously no 2 stores that are on the same sizing. that is why you need to try on a pair of pants atleast once and find your correct size and buy that size.
I've noticed a decline in AE stuff as well. I don't buy much from them, but the times I've been in there I've noticed it a bit (their girls are cuter, however... hmmm). I think they're trying too hard to compete with A&F... Gap is still good quality. Gap jeans wear like iron. I like A&F underwear (trunks) and Gap jeans and Ts. Comfy comfy outfit.
I tend to buy AE.
Not only because its the only store of the "preppy" collection of stores on this rock, but because they have good polos. I gotta wear them for school, we have a dress code.... I also like their jeans a lot too. They are cheap compared to Rhuel (sp?) and Abrocrombie (sp?) and Fitch.
To me, the Hollister brand seems a little generic. All of the polos (as I said earlier, that what I wear most of the year), seem to look exactly the same. AE hase more of a selection to me.
EDIT: I forgot to say that AE is the only place I can find 26 28 size jeans. Im small....

A few years after an A&F store opened nearby, I was rereading Papa Hemingway by A.E. Hotchner. Around half-way through the book, Hotchner recounts going to the A&F store in New York with Hemingway, who needed a belt, and was partial to the store for shirts and khakis.
So, the thought occurred to me, what if Hemingway were alive today and went into a modern A&F store?
Hilarity? Or tragedy?
Outward roll, kind of messy, and then push it up (scrunch I guess) to the desired location.
