Is the BAPE Shark hoodie true to size?

It is a regular fit and most buyers find it roomy. If you want a closer fit, size down; if you plan to layer thick tees, take your usual size.

Is it warm enough for winter?

It is a cotton zip-up, so it works as a mid-layer in fall and winter. It is not insulated and not water resistant, so it needs a jacket over it in cold or wet weather.

Does the shark face show when the hood is down?

The shark graphic is printed on the hood, so it is most visible with the hood up. With the hood down, the camo body and zip front are what show.

How should I wash it to protect the print?

Wash cold and inside out, and skip the dryer. Heat is what stiffens and cracks the shark print, so air drying keeps it intact longer.

Is it a men's or unisex hoodie?

BAPE lists it as men's, but the regular fit and camo pattern make it unisex. Women typically size down one from their usual men's size.

What makes it different from a Supreme or Stussy zip hoodie?

The shark hood graphic and full camo are unique to BAPE. Supreme and Stussy zip-ups are similarly weighted cotton but carry smaller logos and plainer bodies.
