Founded in 1892 in Manhattan by David T. Abercrombie, A&F had been an elite outfitter of sporting and excursion goods. It struggled financially from the late 1960s until it was purchased by The Limited in 1988 and repositioned, under the management of Mike Jeffries, as the aspirational "Casual Luxury" lifestyle brand in present form

A&F was actually started in 1892, as stated above. Hollister started in 2000, and Abercrombie & Fitch Co., Hollister's parent company, just gave the store an elaborate pseudo-history.

People probably were. They probably just don't look the same as they do now because the styles have changed.
