Hollister

What's the deal? I've heard some people call it "Ambercrombie and Douchebag". Fill me in.

I can't tell the difference between the two. Seems like they market to the same crowd.

They have a hell of a motorcycle rally there every year.

i don't buy it cuz I don't live in Hollister, ain't from Hollister, haven't been to Hollister.

I have been to the Republic of the Banana, climbed the North Face of a hill, and jumped the Gap.

They have speedy rail service.

I never did understand that branding. Hollister is a shithole.

The only "attributes" to the town are it's annual motorcycle rally and its proximity to Gilroy...

Hollister, MO is a great place to go when visiting the Ozarks.

Otherwise...the clothing company isn't too bad. I have a few of their t-shirts, but don't strictly shop there. I am far from a stereotypical HCO douche.

Shut up about the town, I want to know about the clothing brand.

I drove by there once. That's where the grand daddy of all motorcycle rallies got started back in the 30's if I'm not mistaken. It may have been the 40's. That incident is what started giving bikers a bad name.

I have a few of their T-Shirts. Their materials are so soft compare to many other t-shirts I have.

 

[Gibsons]

i don't buy it cuz I don't live in Hollister, ain't from Hollister, haven't been to Hollister.

Were you in the Old Navy? Did you walk to Lands End?

Black clothing is strictly prohibited. Women wear dark wash skinny jeans, preferably Hollister brand jeans, if the jeans are not in fact Hollister they may not have any stitching or any competitors logos.

I hope the employee discount is "get the clothes at cost", at which point that $20 t-shirt ends up running $2.
