The Bape Fan

Nearly every BAPE you see people wearing is fake. There is only one store in the United States that even carries real BAPEs, and that is located in New York. Below are several other tall tail signs to see if a BAPE is fake:

1. Sizes that are not produced by BAPE ie. 3XL , 4XL
2. Too low a price. As the saying go if it is to good to be true then it probably is. (shoes range from 200-1000$, hoodies 500-600$, etc)
3. If purchased online, it is most likely fake. Only purchase bapes in stores.
4. Sleeve tag , milo,ape should be centered. for baby milos , inside of sleeve tag should have the word milo with pink,red alternating diagonally
5. Inside lining , should not be fleecy , should feel live woven cotton
6. Stitching , there should be few or no loose threads
7. Color should be vibrant, not dull.
8. Fabric , should be a tight knit , when u pull apart the fabric u should not see any spacing or white
10. Plastic ziplock bag should have a white tab with factory sticker of size
11. All bapes along with that camo tag hanging, are made of very vibrant colors. if they are dull, even for the camo tag, chances are it is fake.
12. All bapes, BUT NOT baby milos have a silver zipper. be careful. recently I have seen fakes with silver zippers. they should say YKK on the back.
13. THE CARE TAG. The care tag near the hip area inside the hoodie should be somewhat the same font. Remember though, some fakes will have the same font.
14. All authentic items are made from the best materials
15. Look for any words not spelled correctly on the CARE tags.
