Bape Shark Hoodie

This pull-over has the classic shark face graphic with the WGM (World Gone Mad) varsity patches on the hood. With the dual-zipper design, the face may be totally covered, giving it a structured look of a mask. It is the main statement piece in the street-wear uniform in combination with matching Bape Sta sneakers or camo jogger.

Shape & Aesthetic:

This hoodie features heavyweight cotton fleece, but the garment does not lose its rigid and structured form when the hood is down. The fabric has a high stretch-recovery rate thus the ribbed cuffs and hem would not fall after frequent wear. Their full-zip hood will not rush up and down since it maintains its structure to display the images of the sharks without going down.

Care & Authenticity:

Wash the garment in cold water by hand so as not to damage the felt patches and screen prints. Do not dry in a machine dryer, hang to dry; graphics are destroyed by heat. Authenticity check: The golden ape head tag is found on the back of the wash label and the YKK zipper pulls have the engraving A Bathing Ape.

Will this fit larger head sizes?

The hood features a deep, roomy construction to accommodate the full-zip functionality. It provides ample space for most head sizes without feeling restrictive when fully closed.

Is the brim adjustable?

This garment is a soft-goods hoodie and does not include a physical brim. However, the dual-zipper hardware allows you to adjust the height of the face opening for visibility or style.

Does the hoodie lose its shape over time?

The high-density 100% cotton fleece prevents stretching and pilling. Proper air-drying ensures the waistband and hood retain their original structure for years.
