Bape Sweater​

The Bape sweater range contains the brand’s most iconic single piece: the full-zip shark hoodie. The shark face on the hood — teeth at the brim, the shark upper jaw across the hood face, the full zip that closes over the wearer’s face when zipped to the top — is the most distinctive hoodie construction in streetwear history. It appeared in Bape’s early 2000s collections, disappeared, returned, and has been in continuous production in various colourways since. When fully zipped, the shark face transforms the hoodie into a mask. No other brand has a comparable construction.

Beyond the shark hoodie, the Bape sweater catalogue covers ABC camo hoodies — the camouflage print applied to heavyweight French terry cotton in pullover and zip-up construction — College logo crewnecks with the Bape typographic treatment across the chest, and Baby Milo graphic hoodies. Each brings a different visual register of the Bape aesthetic in heavyweight construction appropriate for cold-weather wear.

Bape sweaters and hoodies use heavyweight cotton construction — the density consistent with the brand’s quality standards across the full Bape collection. The shark hoodie in particular benefits from being worn at the correct size — it is not designed to be worn oversized, as the shark graphic placement is proportioned for the intended fit. Size to your standard US size for the shark graphic to sit correctly across the hood. Pair with Bape shorts or dark slim jeans, and Bape Sta shoes to complete the full brand look.
