Hollister is a boring cow-town in the central valley.
Hollister brand clothing markets itself as hip, Southern California surf culture wear.
But the town of Hollister is not in Southern California. It is in northern California. And it is not on the coast so there is no beach.
I just think it’s funny that so many teenagers across the US proudly wear their HOLLISTER clothes thinking they’re so trendy and hip, when in reality, every time I see them, I just think of the cow town, and that they’re emulating a cow town.
It’s hilarious. People are so ignorant. They will subscribe to any latest trend just to follow the crowd, without any idea what it actually is.
And I can’t figure out why Abercrombie & FIch (Hollister’s parent company) would choose Hollister as the name for their trendy teenage clothes. They sure are pulling the wool over those teenagers’ eyes.
I bet if I did a survey of all the teenagers wearing Hollister clothes, not one would know where Hollister actually is.
Alright…I didn’t know about Hollister Ranch in Santa Barbara County.
That makes more sense, since it is on the coast.
However, Hollister Ranch is still a RANCH (98% of the land is preserved in an agricultural trust and will never be developed)- which means it is still associated with cows and cowboys and hicks.
So I think my point still applies, that it is funny that all these trend-following middle school and high school kids wear clothes that are named after a cattle ranch. If they knew that, I wonder if they would still think they were so cool.
And to those of you kids who think they are “cute”, do you really think they are worth the money?Thin about it: Some young woman, probably the same age as you, got paid a few cents an hour to make that shirt in a sweatshop in the third world. Then you pay a price that is inflated like 100 times. Guess who keeps the profit? The corporation!

Hollister wasnt named after the city. It’s named after Hollister Ranch, a community located near Santa Barbara, California. And hollister ranch is near southern california and the beach.
So please check your facts before trying to educate other people and trying to act smart. Because you proved yourself to be very clueless and the ignorant one.
I think it is wore due to the style of clothes. The style is hip no matter what name is on it.
agreed, hollister *****.
actually, you’re wrong.
i wear hollister
and i already knew that it was a city, thanks (:
the name doesn’t matter the clothes matter.
ha ha thats pretty funny.
but if teenagers like the clothes their why stop ‘em.
Sorry. I wear Hollister. Its just cute- thats why I wear it I don’t care about location.
ha yea tht is funny lol ….im 13….theyre made for skinny ppl………i wear american eagle…..and ive nevr liked hollister =]
i wear hollister and i actually knew that =] i remember because once i looked up where hollister, california was and i saw that there was like a website. it doesnt really matter unless you’re wearing a logo tee that says ‘HOLLISTER’ because if you like the clothes, does it really matter where hollister actually is?
oh, and to the clueless girl above me, hollister wasn’t named after “J.M Hollister” he’s a fake person the company dreamed up as the ‘owner’ of hollister =]
yeah. i know some people who live in hollister. they have minature horses. it’s such a hick town. but i like the store.
That’s interesting. Good thing I stay away from those stores like the plague…
That is very interesting. I thot it is was just a city i didnt now about the cow thing. I bet all the lil preppy girls at my school dont know that……that is very very INTERESTING!!!
hahahahahahahahahaha. they have no clue.
I don’t think teens care where the name originated, but if they see Paris Hilton or Johnny Depp wearing it, they’re going to want it. Thanks for the info though!
I knew what Hollister is. A town in California.
cute clothes. i dont really care what hollister is.
WHAT THE HELL? thats not funny, like at all. so what — clothes can have a theme, and just because thats the name of the town or whatever the hell they named it after doesnt mean the base of the clothing line is actually in that town. DUHH. now whos the ignorant one? huh.!?hollister is a really cool name, so who cares if its some cow town. ugh whateverr.
Hollister wasnt named after the city. It;s named after Hollister Ranch, a community located near Santa Barbara, California.
Their clothes is cute so stop trying to think like you know everything. You don’t!
Relax, it’s just a name!
I like A&F the best.
I do wear Hollister too though and yes I know there is a small town in California called hollister.
By the way I really do like the clothes at A&F and hollister not because someone told me too!
Ha Ha ha ha bnsxo0 just really busted your bubble. But no one really cares. I am 13 and i love to shop so if it is cute i will buy it.
The name doesn’t have to be related to the style. Wet Seal is a store with funky & trendy style. But you dont see wet seals in the store do you?
actually i new that and i think its retarted how ppl wear hollister its just like AE or A&F
Whats your question? Thanks for informing me but i’m not going to stop shopping there just because Hollister Co had to do with cows. I like their clothes and thats it.
