Ezra Hasbrouck Fitch (September 27, 1865 – June 16, 1930) was an American real estate developer and hobbyist outdoorsman. He bought into and later fully owned the company that became Abercrombie & Fitch. [1][2]
A wealthy New York City manager, Fitch began as one of Abercrombie's VIP customers. Fitch is attributed with much of the company's successful growth in its early years.[3]
