First Answer"It's ambercrombie and fitch, not finch. Finch seems like it may have been a camping store, but the clothing store is fitch." CorrectionActually (as the questioner originally typed), it's Abercrombie & Fitch, not Ambercrombie. (One of those names that nearly everyone has heard spoken, but if you haven't seen it in print or been to one of their stores, annoying letters like "n" and "m" can easily pop into your typing at the wrong place :-)

And yes, according to Wikipedia, the store was originally opened in 1892 as an "outfitter" type store (sporting goods, camping gear, outdoor clothing, etc.). Not sure when they went to "hip" clothing-only line, but it might have been an outcome of being bought out by The Limited in the 1980s. Wikipedia is an unparalleled trivia resource for such questions BTW. Check out what they say about Ernest Hemingway and Abercrombie & Fitch by doing a history search on the store name. Ewwwww.

Abercrombie Age Limit?

There is no age limit, although not all of their clothes are appropriate for all ages, seeing as they were recently criticized for selling a push up bathing suit top in sizes Small and XSmall. Some of their shorts are also a little too short for younger ages. Their clothes are not the most conservative, and although there is no age limit, I would not purchase shorts and bathing suit's from the store for a young child.
