BAPE is well known for the unique and colorful hoodies they produce. If you're wondering what a hoodie is, it's just slang for a hooded sweatshirt. The Bape hoodie designs are creative and usually feature camouflage in some part of the fabric pattern. The BAPE brand is hugely popular with rap and hip-hop stars, with the most popular clothing item being the Bape hoodies and sweatshirts. If you're wondering why bape is called A Bathing Ape or features apes so much, it is because the company is named after "Planet of the Apes". Not only do Bape hoodies have an ape on the tag, they even come in a cool BAPE bag featuring the famous ape logo.
