Since its inception in 2009 Mr. Bathing Ape continues to transcend the gap between cool streetwear style & sartorial elegance. A collaboration between the genius that is NIGO & iconic Japanese retailer United Arrows, they sought the skill & knowledge of Savile Row’s finest to create a series of British suiting & American influenced ‘sports’ jackets, all with production in Japan.
Playfully adding a handlebar moustache to BAPE’s ‘General’ motif to define the product’s gracefulness, you will find the ‘tache & ‘General’ incorporated onto on various detailing. Whether sewn onto shirting, silk ‘camo’ lined on suiting or the exquisite silk ties from the accessories range, this is a fun approach to sartorial style.
The footwear, a classic twist on traditional Brogues, is a must for any footwear enthusiast & as with most Japanese produced items, can be expensive, but the quality and attention to detail is without question.
