This kinda a hijack but...
I don't feel bad for A&F getting sued because they have sued people themselves. As far as I know of, A&F has sued American Eagle 3 times for claiming that American Eagle is trying to "steal their style". American Eagle has won every case. (I would provide a link if I knew one. But I worked at American Eagle for 2 years and corporate would send us stuff to the store letting us know that we beat them again; so that is how I know that)
I think its dumb.
Also as a disclaimer... I know AE and A&F are also stuck in the same catagory but AE really is a good company and has more decent prices for its clothes. Also AE actually believes in customer service (as a company; I'm sure it can be a case by case basis) compared to being a 'brand rep' (i.e. don't help anyone) at Abercrombie.
I mean yeah American Eagle is a t-shirt and jeans type of store but still an average price of a t-shirt at AE is $15.50 where at A&F it is at least $24.50 for something very similar.
But now that I don't work at AE anymore I don't shop there as much. (my all time fav. store is J.Crew. it just makes sense!)
