The SAGA:
Abercrombie & Fitch: they weren’t always selling shirts by advertising with shirtless people. To get an inkling of their former glory, think of Beretta’s New York gallery meets L.L. Bean. They were real sporting outfitters serving the likes of US presidents and outdoorsmen such as Ernest Hemingway. I bet their stores didn’t wreak of cologne back when this Heuer was sold!
I’d like to give a special shout-out to On the Dash for generously sharing his vast knowledge of all thing Heuer!
