The most ridiculous thing you’ll read all week…

What better way to end the week than to read about the 47-page handbook that the Abercrombie & Fitch CEO has for models staffing his private jet? It includes good stuff like:

Crew members are provided with a specific uniform by Abercrombie & Fitch: jeans, boxer briefs, polo shirts and flip flops. When it is 50 degrees or colder outside, all crew members are required to wear winter coats. The jacket should be zipped up to the “forth button from the bottom,” the manual specifies. “The lowest button should be left undone,” it says.

And:

Michael and Matthew’s dogs Ruby, Trouble and Sammy are nearly as picky as their owners, it seems. The manual outlines a five-point instruction set for seating the pets. “When Ruby and Trouble travel, Ruby will sit opposite Michael in the cabin, in Sammy’s seat,” it says. “When Sammy travels, Ruby will sit in Trouble’s seat.”

Thanks for giving me another reason not to shop here. And to the CEO, Mike Jeffries, you’re 68 — stop trying to dress like a 20 year old.

I recall the CEO had to give up his jets use benefit in 2011 when the economic crisis hit hard the company. AFitch had to pay him something at the time (this benefit was in contract part of its pay package) for him to give up his benefit. But the handbook is creepyyyyy

Ummm, I don't get it. Boxer briefs are required? Errrrrrm, how would Mr. Jeffries know whether the models are wearing boxer briefs underneath? Does he... check?
