Purple Bape Hoodie

This zip up hoodie has the famous Shark head design on a multi-layered, printed motif. The dense-weight cotton fleece gives the outfit a rigid, erect look through which the signature graphic is enshrined. Worn under a heavy utilitarian vest or with similar camo joggers, it completes the streetwear uniform.

Shape & Aesthetic

The Purple Bape Hoodie is made three-dimensional with heavy-weight structured cotton, which is crisp in forming a profile even without being unzipped. The hood is stiff to show the Shark graphics without drooping. A ribbed hemline and cuffs offer high stretch-recovery, and are good at retaining the tapered shape of the garment at the waist and wrists over time.

Care & Authenticity

Wash this hoodie in cold water to safeguard the screen-printed images and to avoid cotton shrinkage. Air dry only. Authentic marks are the hand-stitched silky sleeve tag with clean stitches, the grainy gold ape head tag inside the neck and the branding “A Bathing Ape” on the metal zipper pull.

Will this fit larger head sizes?

The structured hood provides ample room for most head sizes. The full-zip design allows you to adjust the opening for comfort, though the cotton does not stretch significantly in the hood area.

Is the brim adjustable?

This garment is a hoodie and does not feature a hat brim. The hood maintains its shape through the density of the 100% cotton fleece and the reinforced stitching along the zipper line.

Does the hoodie lose its shape over time?

The heavy-weight fleece and ribbed borders prevent sagging. Hand washing and avoiding machine dryers ensure the cotton fibers remain tight and the Shark graphic stays aligned.
