PERSONALLY I LABEL MYSELF TO BE A VINTAGE DUDE BUT I DO HAVE FAVORITE BRANDS. "A BAPTHING APE" ARE ONE OF THE BRANDS THAT GRAB MY ATTENTION. NOT SO MUCH BECAUSE OF THE GRAPHIC TEES OR GRAPHIC JEANS BUT BECAUSE THE HUSTLE NIGO REPRESENTS. BEFORE I PURCHASED MY FIRST BAPE ITEM IN 2009 I RESEARCHED THE BRAND TO IT'S ROOTS. ONE THING ILLMATIC ABOUT BAPE IS THE COLLABORATIONS THEY ARE INVOLVED IN. THERE ARE TO MANY TO MENTION BUT THE MOST RECENT IS WITH "TOYS MCCOY". BAPE HAS TEAMED UP WITH TOYS MCCOY A VINTAGE JAPANESE COMPANY KNOWN FOR THEIR AMERICAN TOP QUALITY CLOTHING. THE JACKET INVOLVES HINTS OF BAPE CAMO CLOTHING, FUR COLLAR, WITH PATCHES READ AS " BENEATH, ESCAPE, CONQUEST,BATTLE ACROSS THE CHEST. THIS IS GOING TO BE AN ILLMATIC DROP. I HIGHLY WANT TO PUT MY AFRICAN AMERICAN "BZ" STEEZE IN THIS COLLABORATION.
