Fit, sizing, and care

BAPE pieces can vary by season and region. In general:

  • Hoodies: often a regular fit; size up for a relaxed, layering-friendly look.
  • T-Shirts: typically true-to-size; check chest width for best results.
  • Bapesta: many wear true-to-size; wide feet may prefer half-size up.

Care tips: wash inside-out on cold, avoid tumble-drying high heat, and hang-dry graphics to preserve prints and shape.

How we authenticate

  • Labeling and tag construction cross-check
  • Print clarity and ink density review
