How to Use

To ensure the perfect fit, we strongly recommend contacting our team for a personalized size consultation before finalizing your order. Archival BAPE items often follow specific sizing charts that differ from contemporary Western standards. When styling, layer this piece over a basic tee for a classic relaxed look, or pair it with technical outerwear to lean into the "Ura-Harajuku" aesthetic.

Care & Safety

To preserve the integrity of the archival cotton fibers and maintain the garment's color, wash the hoodie inside out in cold water using a mild detergent. Avoid the use of bleach or fabric softeners which can break down the heavy-duty weave. We recommend hang-drying in a shaded area; avoid direct sunlight during storage to prevent UV-induced fading. If using a dryer, select the lowest heat setting to minimize potential shrinkage.

Notes

"Please review all product details carefully before purchasing, as some units may exhibit minor archival flaws" and vary slightly from modern retail versions.
