HOLY FUCKING SHIT! Totally awful and ridiculously unwearable in any social situation. But also completely necessary in my life.
I still wear that more subtle FHI pointman hoody all the time, but this is some next level shiznit.

^^ Totally, but I still want one.
Got to say I found it annoying at first on the lack of communication of what was being release etc etc but thinking about it now I love that the fact in this day and age on how secret they have kept things. What next???

I read back James' interview with Gary Warnett and he was talking about the Nike capsule and how he wanted it to be something that was wearable, not "just ... for Mo' Wax people" (does he mean us? He means us doesn't he)...
Yet this full zip hoody seems to fly completely in the face of that aesthetic. It seems an odd thing to go back to Bape now that Nigo's not involved personally too.
That said I'll still have a look at the collection if it pops up online on in Selfridges or wherever, old associations die hard.

Does anyone know what the sizing is like on Bape tees these days? Do they still run small? It's been years since I bought anything Bape. Not sure if they're still using the same tees since it changed hands, heard production had moved to China.

As you all, I know I'll never wear it, but I want it.

I think that would look pretty sweet as long as you don't zip the hood over your face. The half-camo looks great, hope there are a few different colour variations. One of the classic shark hoodies with Drury camo would look good.
I agree about this being an odd situation now Nigo has left Bape. The history between MW and Bape must have helped the collab happen.

Agreed. You never wear the hood done up anyway. And with no massive logos this is pretty sweet as Matt put it.

The back will feature a huge embroidered version of James's face. Hopefully.
I don't like that browny grey colour in the camo. Hope they make purple or blue variants.
