i dont think busy work shop is the name of any bape location any more... its either bapexclusicve, bape or bape store.
its interesting that 'busy works' is still used on ts though even though the store isnt called busy works anymore

yea a tshirt can say anything tho ............the reason it was a copyright problem was cause the actual store was called bws ....like the reciepts n bags had it, it was the legal name

Bape has already been solidified. there was no reason to keep BWS since it hasn't been exclusive anymore, hence the change to Bape on the stores. that way the masses can know what they're buying, 'cause Bape is a regular clothing brand now.
