I have one tip concerning the care tags. The * before A BATHING APE is a mix between a circle and an asterix, if its just a black circle or a plain asterix its FAPE. i learned the hard way

great vid, fam. do a legit check of a bape tee as well, please. for the material used, placement of the bape head on the sleeve, and most especially since the bape label isn't wgm for those. thanks!

[@sultanalkhader1630]

One of the mistakes that Ive done, last year I bought a bape hoodie, not the shark tho...it was a simple grey with a blue stripe from the shoulder down to the whole arm, it was L cuz thats my size, thought that it will stretch by time, but never happened...🙁 but this year I bought a puffer jacket XL ..as it was freakin cold in tokyo & it was amazing, didnt feel snug like the hoodie, Ofcourse two different pieces & two different fabrics... so I guess I’m an XL in the hoodies ✌🏽😬 thanx for the info bro! Now I guess i’ll buy a resell hoodie

I already have a bomber jacket from bape and planning to get a t shirt from them, should i get the same size as my jacket?

[@hiddekooistra1171]

This video helped me out a lot, coming fall around september /october il be making a fashion trip to paris so ofc il check out the bape store, thing is, im 6.4 and weigh about 89KG (reasonably broad torso) and i wonder wether i should get XL hoodies or 2XL, many friens of mine said 2XL would be waaay to boxy for me, yet i dont mind wearing them open and having a long fit. would be pretty cool if anyone who is as tall as me has some shopping advice for me.

[@bigtoeog]

i am looking to purchase a bape shark hoodie from stockx and i am a size men’s small in normal american clothing so would you have any idea on my bape hoodie size?

Hey man I would love if u would respond if a Bape hoodie has the WGM and the tiger on the arm sleeves instead of the hood, is it fake?

[@chepa1767]

I got my Bape OG green camo hoodie 3 years ago, it really is sentimental piece of clothing, the color is faded out now. I never regretted buying that piece.

I have concern regarding bape shirt, i have 1 white and 1 black, both size small, the white one have tight neck, and longer length on body, while black one has normal round neck and shorter body length, both have same sleeve length.

wait so what size would you recommend if i am 6'4 and fairly skinny and want it to fit regular/slim fit? (For hoodies and sweathshirts)

[@vlone339]

ACRHD Xl or XXL, unfortunately the higher the size- the wider the sweatshirt is, so slim fit may be contradicting.

If I'm 5'5 and 145 lbs, do you think a large is gonna be to big? I ordered the purple 17 version and I'm kinda regretting getting a large, I had a medium in a green camo shark hoodie, and the fit was good but that was a year ago. When I zipped it up, it was kinda tight, so I decided to go with a large, do you think it's gonna be super baggy on me?

Hey guys I am 176 cm and 60kg, I wear an M size for all Bape tees, what size should i go for the Bape Shark Hoodie in 2019? 😁

[@lucabaldan4538]

Joshua m is fit a bit loose but L will be big i think, if you like larger hoodies, go for L.

[@KaranSharma-lm6eh]

Always consider one size up for Bape hoodies for a regular fit, if you prefer loose fit than XL or XXL.

[@scoobismcchicken]

Does not always re-release
