    What's The Deal With...?

    I've seen James Lavelle of UNKLE sporting BAPE clothing in many pictures, but can't really find much about it on the net, so what's the deal with it?

    It is the most amazing and well made clothing of it's type. No folks I'm not comparing it to Armani or anything... But I can't get enough of the stuff. It is very exclusive, very expensive, and very hard to get. I'm lucky enough to own a few pieces.

        I was "educated" at the London store. There's only a handful of every model (style) made like one of the jackets that I bought was the only XL in Europe, and there was only three others like it. So in that sense that is why they call their garments pieces. I understand where you're coming from though... It's only clothes.

          A jacket I would consider a piece.... just not a tshirt

              Does BAPE mean anything?

                      The name BAPE/Bathing Ape is based on a Japanese idiom - something about mediocrity in the general society I believe. I could be wrong. But BAPE is highly limited, highly priced and (BAPE lovers you gotta admit it) highly over-hyped. But what can I say? I"m still rockin' Evisu jeans and people have already been saying that Evisu is way over.

                        Over hyped? I coudn't disagree more. Maybe the t shirts, but like I said the quality is second to none. The attention to detail, stiching and materials speak for themselves. Who cares what people think anyway, as long as you're happy with what you have. Good for you and your Evisu, I like their denim!

                              It is not that limited. Have you searched eBay? They could be knockoffs though...
