Item: A Bathing Ape Kyoto 8th Anniversary exclusive t-shirt
Description: Osaka is blessed with neighboring cities of Kobe, Nara and Kyoto within only 40 minutes away by their respective trains.  I was always a big fan of visiting the Bape Store in Kyoto because it was far less busy than the Bape Store in Osaka.  The gimmick with all the stores A Bathing Ape have across Japan as well as the ones in the foreign countries each have an exclusive color camo combination.  Amongst the fans, Kyoto has one of the nicest combos including black, white, light grey and olive drab.  This t-shirt showcases it quite well and was purchased in the year of 2007, prior to my first exit from Japan.  Furthermore, this t-shirt was the first anniversary t-shirt to acknowledge the Kyoto branch as a Bape Store, departing from their original moniker Busy Work Shop.  Bape Store has since moved again the an even larger and more convenient location in Kyoto.
