Black Bape T Shirt

This short-sleeve tee has a crewneck that is thick and boxy shaped. The mid-weight cotton is clean and yet an easy on the skin lightweight fabric. It can be worn as a complement to Shark hoodies when worn under or worn with BAPE STA sneakers which is why it is an essential part of the street wear uniform.

Shape & Aesthetic:

The shirt is a part of a structured, tubular knit garment, which does not sag. The thick cotton is thick enough to allow a crisp draping against a fitting but not clingy. The neckline remains flat and has a circular shape with a thick, non-stretch, ribbed collar keeping the neckline circular even with repeated wear.

Care & Authenticity:

Cold machine wash inside out with similar colored items in order to preserve the graphics screen-printed on the garments. Use hang dry to avoid getting shrunk and keep the piece of fabric dense. True marks are the signature golden ape head tag in the back of the neck, and the woven sleeve label on the left arm.

Will this fit larger head sizes?

The ribbed crewneck provides moderate tension but does not stretch excessively. Most users find the neck opening standard for streetwear, though the structured cotton requires careful pulling to avoid collar distortion.

Is the brim adjustable?

This garment is a t-shirt and does not feature a brim. The boxy construction allows for a relaxed drape around the torso without being adjustable.

Does the shirt lose its shape over time?

The heavyweight cotton jersey uses a dense weave to prevent stretching or thinning. Following the hang-dry instructions ensures the boxy silhouette and collar remains intact for the life of the garment.
