Abercrombie is not that great. Look online and you will see many complaints. My daughter bought a jacket and it is like new and the zipper broke. The store would not exchange it because we did not have the receipt. My kids buy stuff there all the time and I have other receipts but not that one. We called the corporate offices and customer service told us to have the zipper replaced and they would reimburse the cost as a store credit. If you have to do that then it doesn't look like an authentic A&F jacket does it? Plus, my daughter won't wear it after that because it will look fake. Look online there are lots of complaints about zippers breaking on new jackets and hoodies. They don't want to do anything about these complaints. Maybe we should spend the money somewhere else!
