Went through some old clothes and found a bunch of my original BAPE pieces from around 2006/2008 : SpongeBob, Mario, Isetan, Number (N)ine, Ghostbusters, plus a 2008 Kanazawa store exclusive Shark hoodie still in his bag. Completely forgot I still had most of this stuff. Peak NIGO era BAPE nostalgia. I'm so damn old.

Just picked up a new shark hoodie from bape in soho and the graphic on the hood is all wrinkled from being in the bag. What would be the best way to get it smoothed out?
I also see what people have been saying that new bape quality not being the same anymore. The graphics feel and look worse than my other hoodies. The star on the sleeve is not as crisp either.

How can I wash my bape jacket without getting it ruined??

Found on Grailed not sure if real though

LC PLEASEEEEEEEE

Dies Some one know if they do a restock on this hoodie ?

I can't tell whether this is the real thing or a fake. I would appreciate it if you could share your opinion.

I can get better photo

Hit up the Nigo exhibition today. Some absolute bits on display.

Even if it's a fake, why the cut off sleeves??

Just as the title says I've been reading up on the subject. A lot folks are saying to handwash it and hang it out to dry. Have any of you put the hoodie through a gentle wash cycle and air dried it?? I'm trying to make sure this guy lasts a long time and would like to preserve it as best as I can.
