I bought a a&f polo off ebay and it was a medium and it was so SMALL! I got a size larger just incase it didnt fit, so it still fits. Are they sposed to be skinny fit like the ralph lauren polos? I think I might buy a few more because they are so cheap and cute.
Does a&f have small sizes or is it just me?

And your point is? Is that relative to the sizing being weird?
----------------
I say AF runs small. It usually has on me. I wear an 8 most places..but I have to wear a 10 at AF.

either that or your just fat...
they probaly thought that they were making to the right sizes but didnt... many shops do that.
like in one shop your one size and in other your a different size.

That's because they make different sizes in different places? Because each company has different sizing charts?
Was that 'fat' comment directed at me? Because that's uncalled for. And..totally mature. Really.

Yes, Abercrombie sizes do tend to run on the small side. I usually wear a medium in most tops, but their larges are even a bit small on me. I'm a 6 in jeans, and there I'm an 8, etc.

Hot Topic is owned through Gap. And Gap also owns AmericanEagle or AF.
Hot Topic is just as expensive as AE/AF if you pay close attention.
I shop at both, but there's no reason to talk about how great the other one is because it doesn't make you look like an 'anorexic skinny bitch.'

hmm... well considering the fact that you have to be SKINNY to wear their clothes, so I dunno know why this thread was started. Sizes are different with different companies. Congrats... you're skinny... Next topic.

What the fuck? You wear a 2 and a size 16 is too big? WELL NO SHIT.
And for the record (not that anyone cares), but Hot Topic's size charts are way off. According to them I should wear a size 3 but I have a pair of pants from there that are a 3 and they're way too loose. I also have a 0 and they fit fine.

Abercrombies shirts and other clothes DO NOT RUN SMALL! If you are into fashion and do shop at stores like abercrombie, hollister, AE, and others, the style is that clothes are tight and you show a little middrif. you dont want shirts down to your knees. (If you got it..why not flaunt it?)

no actually abacrombie has those shirts that are tight but long so they don't stop at your midrif theys top at your thigh.

That is true..but they still arent in a different size. If you get the right size in one of those long shirts, it fits all the way down. Its still the same size as the regular shirts that show some skin, except it is in a different style.
(that one kind of took me a long time to think about :/ )

Pixie_Punk..Soakupthesun was talkin bout she wore a size 2 at the regular abercrombie and then a 16 at the abercrombie KIDS..as you may read again it says (kids) beside it so therefore she would wear a bigger size at a kids store.

PoisonedEternity No GAP owns Old Navy && Banana Republic I have never heard of them owning Hot Topic though I wouldn't be surprised
my thing is who effing cares clothes are clothes money is just money. why does it matter
Personally I think AE && AF && Hot Topic are waay overpriced for their cheap clothing.

OMG, JUST BECAUSE YOU SHOP AT A&F DOESN'T MEAN YOU ARE ANA.
YOU'RE JUST JEALOUS BECAUSE YOU CAN'T AFFORD IT AND THEY DON'T MAKE A SIZE BIG ENOUGH FOR YOUR FAT ASS TO FIT INTO.
anyway i have a lot of a&f tee shirts and i usually wear an xs and i wear xs from there and they fit fine.
