BAPE Japan Silhouette Tee Black

BAPE Japan Silhouette Tee Black — The Map of Japan as a Graphic

A Bathing Ape was founded in 1993 in Ura-Harajuku, Tokyo, when Nigo, who had worked as an editor and stylist at Popeye magazine, opened the NOWHERE store with Jun Takahashi. The brand's name is a play on a Japanese saying about excessive comfort, and its strategy was always the opposite of commercial convenience: extremely limited runs and word of mouth. This T-shirt brings Japanese identity to the forefront with the silhouette of the archipelago.

The T-Shirt — Japan Silhouette on Black Cotton

Straight cut with dropped shoulders in black cotton. The central graphic reproduces the outline of Japanese territory alongside the brand's branding, in a more understated composition than the usual Ape Head.

Materials and Technology

• Fabric: Mid-to-heavyweight black cotton; reinforced ribbed collar
• Graphic: Printed silhouette of the Japanese archipelago; BAPE branding
• Fit: Straight and slightly relaxed; sizes S to XXXL
