aape polo shirt

10 photos of a polo shirt ?

surely not ?

but you know i like the details, so maybe it will take me 10 photos.

1

the tease.

a package arrives at whitfield towers from japan.

2

the reveal.

aape for those of you who don't know, is the new diffusion line from one

of my favourite brands, a bathing ape.

the polo shirt is in a special aape branded ziplock bag. so far so good.

3

you know i'm all about the details so let's start here.

firstly, i'm a big fan of the aape logo. here it is on the inside size tag and also

on the piping on the inside of the collar.

very nice indeed.

4

attached to the size tag is a plastic aape logo tag. it's almost like a key-ring.

it's a decent little thing in itself.

bearing in mind this diffusion line is a lot cheaper than bape, you would have

thought they'd have cut a few corners. there's no real need for this tag.

it's just a nice touch... a cracking little detail.

also you can just make out the branding on the outside of the buttons.

5

there is another label or tab on the outside of the shirt just above the waist.

this is one side of it.

6

and this is the other. once again a little over the top.

no real need for this label but it's kind of interesting. it feels like  bit

of care has been taken with putting this polo shirt together, i mean even the little

label itself is stitched rather than printed.

7

there's also a stitched aape logo on the chest of the polo shirt in the usual place

8

it's a really good effort. no lairy back print or anything stupid,

just a very decent polo shirt in what seems to be similar materials to the normal bape 

polo shirts.

9

one last detail. the underside of the collar has two red stripes.

( obviously i'm not going to be stupid enough to walk around with the collar up )

it's a corking little detail and seems to be a costly thing to do rather 

than just leaving it all black.

so there you have it. an aape black polo shirt.

it's a belting bit of kit, and it only set me back £200.

... ok i was only joking about the cost. 

i don't usually like to mention prices here but i think this was

about £45 or so.

good work bape.
