does anywhere in galway stock abercrombie and fitch .
Ive just come back from my bi-annual search for a decent jacket in , only to find that its still impossible to get mens clothes in this town, also there seems to a fair few shops closed down around town,dealys and a a few more in the eyre sq centre - signs of the times I suppose.

only in the UK asfaik can u obtain abercrombie and fitch!!!!! great store in saville row but pricey

I think its called "origin" down near the origial charcoal grill.Would never pay 120 euro for Abercrombie hoody though.

cheers, its just the jackets ive any interest in, they seem to be hard to get online also, unless you buy from the states.theres a lot of dodgy lookin stores selling discount jackets from addresses in china, think ill give them a miss.

A&F don't have any stores in Ireland, but I suppose the Gap is the next best alternative. I don't know if they're in Galway, but there are two outlets in Dublin, next time you're in the big smoke

Order on the official site and pay the customs tax on arrival.

thats what im probably going to do, but im not too sure about the sizes, its US so id probably have to get a size smaller ie medium even though id usually get large, id hate for it to arrive only to be the wrong size.

thanks for all the replies!!

^^ I don't agree, I think that A&F sizes aren't as big as other US sizes ... in fact I think they are more similar to Irish sizes.

Oh and re customs, you'll pay 40% of the total value of your order (i.e. the cost of the clothes + shipping is what you pay 40% on).

anyone think it's about time a sticky was written about all these american(A&F/AE/Hollister)/australian(Uggs) brands as to why they aren't available in ireland and what's the best way of getting them.

seems to be a lot of new threads created and a lot of old threads dug up on the subject matter.

Sizes are the very same in A&F and you can order online they will send to Ireland however you have to pay customs to fedex prob spending €150 + €40customs MAx. american eagle are very good!

In my opinion check out American Eagle for those heavy duty winter jackets. Absolutely fantastic quality (I reckon they killed about 20 mink to line the inside of it ) and a very decent price.

FYI Abercrombie, Hollister, Ruehl and American Eagle will ship to Ireland. You will definitely be charged customs and duties on all except American Eagle. This is due the carrier Fedex convienently paying them on your behalf only to hit you up with a bill a few weeks later. American Eagle uses UPS to ship iirc so you have the chance it might get through.

Edit: Btw the sizing is exactly the same in my experience and that goes for jeans too.

If you buy A&F stuff worth €150 then you will pay up to €60 in customs - it's 40% of the value of the clothes + shipping. It would be extremely rare to pay anything less than 40%.

itsallaboutme!!

op dont know if this is any use to ya but i was recently in belfast and A&F and hollister are opening a new store in the victoria shopping centre in october this year. (they were advertising for "good looking" people when i was there! it actually said "good looking" on the sign!!!!!:eek:)

as regards the duty on stuff from the US i have gotten stuff from american eagle a few times and have never been caught for it so im wondering how they decide who gets charged and who doesnt??

That's the truth. NUIG is a damp swamp of A and F pyjamas.

i would agree, abercrombie are definately smaller than say american eagle.for lads anyway they do "muscle fit" which means tight on arms and belly.im a medium in american eagle and a large in abercrombie,sometimes even an xl if the material is uncomfortable.i always feel fat in abercrombie but its the same for everyone i know!

A+F are really rubbish mass market clothes, look good on 5% of wearers, the rest may as well be wearing Pennys or Dunne's stores.

I bought from USA A&F website; spent $85 on three items and it cost me $45 in customs/delivery charges. They delivered within 5 days via FEDEX or UPS to my door. Very happy with outcome ... even though the additional cost for shipping/customs was high. There was no other way of being guaranteed to get the real mccoy.
