i like to collect bape stuff only certain peices. my brother is huge collector. bape do some nice tee's and hoodies, the prices reflects this. not a fan of bbc.
I like quite a lot of the Bape I see, but again the price is an issue given what I generally spend on RMC already. With BBC/Ice Cream I have to say I dislike most of the designs, they dont seem sophisticated enough for my taste, although I will concede that having checked out quite a bit of the brand in Flannels it is very well made. The Varsity Jackets, although expensive are superbly made ( no suprise given they are made in Japan) and I have been tempted, but at nearly £600 in the sale, I'd rather spend the cash on RMC/Yoropiko.
If I am honest, if I didnt collect RMC/Yoropiko, Bape would probably have been the brand I'd have turned to. I dont like everything they do, but what I've seen seems to be well made at least unlike some expensive brands.
im a collector of bape, i really like the concept and the quality of the brand is good. I bet it is quite popular in the states shin, not really here in the UK though. So i guess thats why i like it even more as you all know bape dont sell in stores(only bape stores, and bape websites for JP and US. Just makes the brand a little rarer!
