Item: A Bathing Ape 2009 Spring collection Cut and Sewn long sleeve shirt (Navy x Sax)
Description: Ever since I saw this shirt in the shelves at Bape Store Aoyama, I've wanted it; the colors and material are just right for that warm spring day. Upon the entrance into 2010, Bape decided to turn all of their retail stores in Japan into Pirate Stores, or in other words outlet stores with 40% discounts on everything inside. This shirt, originally priced at 15,540 yen (~$165) was now priced 9,324 yen (~$99). The discount simply sealed the deal. And while some of you, I imagine, claim that $99 is still very expensive for a shirt, it's a small price to pay for the gratification of knowing that holding out for 8 months saved me almost $70 dollars.A Bathing Ape
