 Abercrombie is a textbook example on how you do a rebrand and I'd say it's a new favorite brand amongst the people. And why is that? Well, I think the products speak for themselves. I'm going to show you guys some of my pickups right here and full transparency. This was all gifted to me. This isn't a sponsored video or anything. These were gifted to me because I'm doing a separate sponsored post, but all of my opinions are my own. There are no talking points or anything. If I don't like a piece, I'm a roasted like spoiler alert. Their jeans kind of suck. We're going to start off with this varsity jacket right here. It's beautiful in terms of colors and the overall design, but I would say it is a bit cheesy with the patches and all that because when it comes to varsity jackets, varsity jackets should be custom to you and your accomplishments. So it does feel kind of funny knowing damn well, I can't even run a mile and there's some cross country patches on here. Like can you imagine me running? I'll find any excuse to skip leg day. Come on now. Otherwise, it's a clean piece, nice colors all around and a decent build for the price. I do wish the cuffs were a little bit tighter. They do seem a little bit loose around the wrist area. But yeah, I think this is a good way to start the video. A good representation of how Abercrombie has changed their branding. Now next up, we have this knitted sweater polo with brown stripes right here. Now, this is probably another good representation of what Abercrombie has become. It's kind of like Emily on door, but way more affordable. A different target market as well. This piece fits very well. If you got a little bit of a muscular build for those of you guys asking, I am five foot seven hundred sixty pounds. And this is a size medium. And yeah, it's hugging the arms nicely. You've got that overall knitted texture that's decently breathable. Lots of airflow going and it ends with the hem and cuffs that's in a different knit, which is a cool bit of contrast in texture. And yeah, if you notice, there's no buttons on this. It's meant to be worn nice and open. So I focus on hitting the upper chest. This piece is very versatile. It's a nice colorway. You just rock this with a pair of trousers or shorts and call it a day. Now up next, we have the color block polo right here. Feels premium, has a nice texture. And I like that you could rock it button up or with a tank underneath. Personally, it's not my kind of piece to wear. It's a little bit too loud for me. But I know for others, this will look really good with their style. And a good way to tell what a brand is about is the quality of their hoodies. It's like when you go to a Vietnamese spot, you always got to test the quality of their fun and that speaks for the rest of the restaurant. So this is their essentials pop up hoodie. I got mine in a heather gray, but they have plenty of other colors. I just already have those colorways, but I don't have a light heather gray one. Let me just say, as someone who sold hoodies in the past, this is pretty solid. This isn't like many of the other hoodies that most people are familiar with. The only way I describe it is it's kind of soft and fluffy and very light as well, which is not a bad thing. I think people associate heavy weight hoodies with quality, which there's some truth to that. But there are lighter hoodies that are pretty good. You've got that oversized fit, not too long in the hem area, layers up nicely as well. This one is a size medium, it's meant to be oversized. Normally, I would go for a large for that extra oversized look, but I know I'm going to be layering with the slots. So I went true to size. That way, the fabric isn't bunching up in the sleeves and all that. I just love how soft this is kind of like my new mattress from Helix Sleep, the sponsor of today's video.

And then they'll recommend a model that best suits your needs like they did for me, which is the Helix Midnight Luxe. I definitely can't sleep in super soft mattresses or super hard mattresses. My girl, she prefers something super soft. So this mattress is actually a perfect compromise for the both of us. They do say this mattress is perfect for couples. And so the Midnight Luxe was perfect for me. It's right in the middle, not too firm, not too soft and perfectly tailored for side sleepers and people that toss and turn like myself. And right now I'm sleeping like a baby because this specific one keeps me nice and cool with their Glacial Text cooling cover. And this mattress is fiberglass free. It is peak summer right now. So this addition to the mattress does wonders for my sleep. And here's the coolest part. It arrives in a box at your doorstep vacuum compressed. So there's no need to struggle with another person trying to carry your mattress up. All you gotta do is break the seal, watch it inflate. It's actually quite fun. Definitely gets the approval from my dog, which is all that really matters. We've been sleeping on it for the past year and my sleep has never been better unless Ahsoka is taking up all of space. What I appreciate is Helix Sleep gives you a hundred night trial just so you can try out the mattress and make sure that you love it. And there's also a 10 year warranty. You love to see it. Helix's mattresses have been a game changer for me. I love my mattress and I'm sure you will as well. And as you can see, I have long hair now from when I first unboxed it.

Thank you Helix Sleep for sponsoring this video. Back to it. And now we have these loose utility cargo pants. I'm gonna be honest, the site pictures do not do these pants justice because these are pretty dope. So you've got that built in utility belts, not the best quality. What a nice addition to this garments that you can always remove if you don't like it. Now the product does say it's loose, which I don't think is a good description. Like I probably say it's a little bit past straight cut, but they still look good with Air Force ones. It doesn't look too chunky. Now the front zipper is a little bit tacky. In my opinion, there's this extra fabric and material there completely unnecessary doesn't really add to the look or anything. And it just looks kind of weird. You got some extra unnecessary cargo pockets, but it does add to the look and they have plenty of other colorways as well. Now our next two pieces comes from their summer linen blend collection, which are their floral camp colored shirts. We have one in green and we have the one I'm wearing right now, which is in black. This is a perfect summer piece that's breathable and has a nice casual summer look. My pick is obviously the black one. It looks really clean, simple. And yeah, I'm wearing a beanie right now because I'm filming this early in the morning. The floral embroidery work is what makes this piece feel unique and summery. And I think it just adds to the summer vibe. And it's just a cool little textural detail as well. What's your pick? The green one, black one, the other colorways as well. I'm rolling with the black one. And then we got our next summer polo, which is their patchwork polo shirt. It comes in this brown colorway right here. Basically another camp color polo combination. You've got a lot of ventilation holes for breathability. And if you wear a white tank top underneath, you'll get a little specs of white throughout your fits, which is pretty cool. I also really like the different patches of holes, how they go in different directions. It does add to the look. That's a nice texture and it does make it feel much more premium and luxurious. And next we got their denim jeans. And yeah, like I said earlier, these kind of suck. These don't feel the most premium. But when you toss them on, they do have a pretty decent fits, a nice wash as well. I've definitely just seen much more premium pieces from Abercrombie themselves. So far with you, I'd probably skip out on this denim, go for the double knees. Those actually look quite dope. Check those out. These jeans, they kind of suck. Okay, so speaking about Abercrombie's other denim options, I actually bought some myself with my own money and it just came in. And it's the double knee carpenter denim that I mentioned earlier in the brown colorway. This is probably my favorite item I picked up out of all of the items. And yo, this is Abercrombie we're talking about. Now, do I think Carhartt or other workwear brands make better ones? Of course, they probably do. These ones have a nice wash. It has a good fit. The only thing I got to complain about is the size 30 feels like a size 32. So if you could do a try on in person. But yeah, these pants look great with the Varsity jacket. I really think it shines in a monochromatic look. And this definitely feels much more premium than the other denim I talked about earlier. And then we have a tank top. This is also one of my favorite items I picked up. And it's my favorite tank top in my collection. I've never had any issues with any tank tops I've owned. Even the Fruit of the Loom ones are dope. It has a good fit. I love the texture. Love the airflow. And especially when you layer it, that texture pops out really nicely. And it just subtly elevates an outfit would highly recommend up next. We have two different white camp colored shirts, both in different textures and a completely different fit as well. So one is in this light and airy texture. While this other one is just your standard dress shirt type of material kind of really hard to get the wrinkles out, which is why I don't really like it and why I definitely prefer the lighter one. It's much more simple, much more breathable, and you do get more movement throughout your body. The lace one right here is, it's cool. But I just find it's very restrictive, even though it's not slim fitting and definitely can get uncomfortable at times. I do have wider lats and wider shoulders. And just whenever I sit down and do some work, it does pull at my lats a little bit, a little bit uncomfortable. So just keep that in mind. If you're going to check out the lace ones, I would definitely recommend a try on in person or size up. But overall, a nice top. You can't really go wrong with either. And then we got their vintage tee, a nice tee for the price. You've got that vintage wash and almost inside out stitching around the shoulder area and it has a pretty solid fit. I'm a bigger fan of the Uniclo oversized tee, but you definitely can't beat the wash of this one and their other colorways, which the Uniclo ones are more so for a minimal simplistic style. This one is definitely more for that casual street look. And to top off the video, we have two different caps, a Miller cap and a NASCAR cap. One comes in red, one comes in blue. And these hats are just okay, in my opinion. If you have a really nice colorway, I'll give it that. But the hat doesn't feel very rigid. I tried bending the brim on the blue one, it still looks pretty flat to me. So we're going to have to get a little clever with our techniques, but I will always be a sucker for two tone caps. All right, y'all, those are my Abercrombie pickups. I got to say, you do not need all of these items. This is just me showcasing what you can get. I'm not even going to keep all of these pieces myself. I'm going to be giving away as gifts to my cousins and family members. But yeah, if you enjoyed the video, make sure you give it a thumbs up, subscribe to the channel, and until then, Stay Fly Deuces.
