Our approach to BAPE
We’re a focused destination for BAPE tees. That focus lets us document the small things — neck rib profiles, puff and gloss ink behavior, camo repeat rules — so you get confidence with every purchase.
Founded in Tokyo in 1993 by NIGO, A BATHING APE helped define Ura‑Harajuku street culture. Iconic graphics like the Ape Head and Shark, plus bold camo and global collaborations, made BAPE a staple in music and streetwear. Our catalog reflects that history — past seasons, core graphics, and contemporary releases — with clear measurements and condition notes.
What we check
- Woven and care tags, print dates, and font cuts
- Fabric handfeel, weight, and shrink characteristics
- Print method: screen vs. digital, puff, gloss, and flock
- Camo tiling and color mapping against known patterns
- Stitch density, seam alignment, and hem shape
Condition & grading
Like New
Worn 1–2 times max; no visible wear, crisp graphics.

All tees are steamed and photographed in neutral light. Any flaws are highlighted in the listing visuals and notes.
Fit & sizing help
- We publish flat chest and length in centimeters for each tee.
- For a regular fit, aim for 2–4 cm ease at the chest.
- Vintage and modern BAPE eras fit differently — rely on our measurements.
Tip: Compare our listed chest width to a tee you like at home.
Care recommendations
- Cold wash, inside out. Mild detergent.
- Air dry only. Avoid tumble heat to preserve gloss and puff inks.
- Steam or low‑iron inside out; avoid direct heat on graphics.
Shop by color or motif
Use filters on the shop to refine by color, size, graphic, and condition.
Streetwear context, not just listings
We document each drop with notes on print era, fabric, and graphic history — short, useful write‑ups inspired by the way leading streetwear outlets cover BAPE. That context helps you buy smarter and build a rotation that fits your style.
FAQ highlights
How do you verify that a BAPE tee is authentic?
We run a 26‑point inspection covering tags, stitches, fabric, print method, and camo rules, then archive macro photos for traceability. If any point fails, we don’t list it.
What size should I choose?
Use our measurements in centimeters on each product page; they’re taken flat and are more reliable than tag size due to era differences. Aim for 2–4 cm ease at the chest for a regular fit.
Do you accept returns?
Yes, unworn with tags within the stated window. We re‑inspect within 48 hours of receipt and resolve exchanges or refunds quickly.
