All of Abercrombie & Fitch Co.'s spin-off brands have an elaborate pseudo-history (including
RUEHL No.925 and Gilly Hicks) to give meaning and feeling to the brand image of the Hollister
concept.
Hollister Co.'s story begins with the fictional character named John M. Hollister.[10] An
adventurous youth, he spent his youth practicing sports in the waters of Maine.[10] He graduated
from Yale University in 1915 at the age of 21.[10] Not wanting the high-life his father established
for him in Manhattan, the young man boarded a succession of steamboats, finally arriving in the
Dutch East Indies by 1917.[10] There, he bought a rubber plantation from the fictitious Gregory
Van Gilder, and soon came to know and love Gilder's daughter, Meta.[10] Afterwards, Hollister
sold the land, and with half of the money purchased a 50-foot (15 m) schooner on which he and
Meta spent two years sailing the South Pacific Ocean treasuring the diverse cultures.[10] John and
Meta harbored in Los Angeles in 1919, and married in the late fall.[10] John M. Hollister, Jr. was
born in 1920, and after "discovering California and himself" with his love for the South Pacific
in mind John Sr. established Hollister Co. in 1922 in Laguna Beach. The company became
purveyors of South Pacific treasures (hand-crafted furniture, jewelry, linens, and artifacts from
all the islands).[10] The company changed after John Jr. took over the business in 1957, bringing
into the inventory surf apparel and equipment. Only in fantasy is the company said to be still
managed by the Hollister’s.[10] Abercrombie & Fitch calls the story "a story of passion, youth and
love of the sea [carrying] the harmony of romance, beauty, adventure."[10]
The story is not made publicly available but it helps tie in many elements of the brand with what
was, in reality, conceived by Abercrombie & Fitch in the 21st century. The Hollister Co. brand is
marketed as being established in 1922, and the date is found the labels and designs of the
merchandise. The store is designed to simulate the feeling of being in a surf shop. Furthermore,
the story of the character John Jr. being a renowned surfer is on the back of Jake cologne
packaging.
