[phil2007]

and there was a guy with a bapesta shaved into his head in bape store lol

thats insane.

ive been thinking about doing that all day. i had a feeling it was a good idea,

but i might have just changed my mind.

[alibaba007]

lol the guy looked a bit funkey, half his hair was blonde half black shaved and had a big sta on the side, it didnt look tooooo bad imo but not for me lol

[Starky D]

they also had the logo "bomber jacket" type jacket front row by the window, nothing special but has all the different logos on the back

[smithw1au]

[crs-1]

^ Full camos dropping

Buy one get the other 6 colours free I heard ;)

[dr_funk]

Can anybody tell me if they have some Apee stuff at Bape london or how often they have it????

[smithw1au]

no only -

Bape
A Bathing Ape
Bape Kids
Bapestas
etc.........

Best off trying Spe, Juno or Ebay

[alibaba007]

any idea when the full camos are dropping? i hope i get my student loan in time to get a red camo:P

[Starky D]

they're Nigo Favourito Magazin so you wont' get them in London, they'll have the thermal full camo hoodys tho

just buy off ebay/spe because you'll get them at equivalent uk prices anyway



on a side note anyone seen that HSBC advert where they're in some japanese restaurant and some guy's got the chomper hoody on, only seen glimpses of the advert so not quite sure what it's about except an advert for HSBC :D

[mythbauer24]

nigo favourto magazin??? wtf is that?

its nigos favorite shop

[alibaba007]

ahh cool, anyone know when the full camo thermals are gonna drop? i might get a blue camo or red camo in tht or the nfs release

[Starky D]

i'd get the NFS version prob find it just a bit more expensive then the thermals, plus the thermals look a bit flimsy

red ones seem to be going for region of 200 and i'd imagine the thermals in the UK when they come out will be about 150-165

p.s thermals will prob be this week or next week

[alibaba007]

ahhh ok thanks alot, yeh im gonna try and find a NFS when i get my student loan lol

[Starky D]

does Double.O live in Birmingham? Or anyone else on here? If so do any of you know what Hidden Nightclub is like? Going there for EZ on 6th October and just want to check what kind of place it is, dresscode, people that go etc.

Just checking not stepping into a bhangra night or anything lol

[Powerz22]

For lowers yes, which are sold out, uppers are £20 face value, but nearly sold out. Of course I am adding a profit. I don't know why that comment was made really.

probablly coz u can get em for cheaper than that outside on match day.

[Powerz22]

I suppose your taking the piss? I've seen £50 tickets go for £1000. They are not going to be cheaper on matchday.

[crs-1]

Keep the bitching out of the London thread please. You dont like Powerz prices dont pay them its as simple as that.

:)

[Killabape]

arent they being sold for £10 each

Yeah, got my ticket for the lower tier....Ive got to sit with the Arsenel supports because I couldn't get an away ticket..

around £40 is the reg price for the upper tier so it's not a crazy price....and if your not a member getting a ticket for a prem home match is really hard;)

[Starky D]

[M-V]

Welcome back tom and bilk. Thanks for the updates as always Smithy. The sta hoddys look nice but I think I'll keep my money for other things.

Aphex live is a nightmare though as dependent on what mood he is you might just hear a load of white noise or sand paper being scratched. I do like his stuff but would prefer to listen to my vinyl instead, having said that the Caustic Window and Polygon Window stuff is groundbreaking and its worth shelling out for the original Caustic Window EPs just to get the unreleasable tracks.

Squarepusher I am still not convinced as there are people doing that sort of thing and making much better tunes. Jega for example is much much better.

I thought he was talking about a strip club too, there's one in Windsor near my mate's place called Pinks. One of the owners has a Ferrari with the number plate pinks, another of the owners has a Rolls Royce Phantom, number plate: I OWN . HE must be a proper arrogant bastard.

I think the one in Shoreditch was the first and hence very well known, others have just copied the name. I have never been btw as we went to the Griffin once for a mates stag do and the women were rough and the atmosphere was scary.

[steveatbath]

if you go to the griffin before 9 then the women are rough but at 9 its a shift change and the fittys come out to play. still horrendous though. cheap as chips though, £2.50 a pint

[Bossman75]

Next London meet to be held when it is cold enough for hoodies and jackets. Meet up early, have a coffee, then pub lunch after seeing the sights and closing shit down again. Let's keep it interesting!

Maybe make it a seasonal thing. Summer/Autumn and a Holiday season thrown in for good measure.

If it was a huge store it'd be totally against what Bape stands for. It literally holds whatever recent has dropped and that's about it. It's a nice lil place. Come to London to see lots of different shops. Loads of people on here can help with a list of spots to hit, not just Bape.

[evel]

no, just closed down. it was pretty crap though. Richmond classics and The consortium r the best shops, and they r still crap and over expensive.

ahhh richmond classics takes me back .... i grew up in weymouth and back in the day (about 13 years ago) used to reguarly trek up to bournemouth pretty much to go there, used to be quality, have been back a few years but its not the same. dont know if the brands they stock have become more mainstream or if the mainstream is more high brow nowadays, anyway always have a place in the heart!!!

consortium is ok, but nothing i cant get in london or brighton, but then thats probably true of most shops...

[Starky D]

cool, foot soldier tops come in, always been quite interested in them

erm when the thermals coming, i'm just interested to see how thick/flimsy they are in real life

[Bossman75]

Anyone popping in at lunch today for a look?

[Asami]

Those pictures are crazy when I remember how empty the Japanese stores were... I guess UK retail is just too high for Bape.

Same here I quite liked the foot soldier backs to them as well. If anyone's in there today could you possibly see how much they are please? I can't get in today :(

[M-V]

Yeah please if you can man. If no one does go today its okI can always phone up but just though some one might be able to find out the price while they were in, thanks.

[Starky D]

yeah i'm going in so i'll post up bit later but considering some of them have been 165 this season and this is fairly plain i reckno about same so pondon probably is us on these she was doing em about 117 last time i looked

my memory serves me well! £117

[Bossman75]

140 for the hoodies. Nice deep red colour on one of them. Also plain with B A P E reversible hoodies on the rail, not sure if these were already mentioned.

[steveatbath]

nice one, the crew is on 70quid with pondon, ill get a couple of tees aswell. would just be too sensible to actually save the money!

[meltdown155]

i mite chek the store out this weekend if the weather aint shit like tday

[Starky D]

bossman got there first but yeah 140 for the hoods 95 for the sweaters

i got the sweater, i didn't see pondon but ah well i guess with shipping 10 isn't that much difference

preferred the sweater personally

[steveatbath]

i prefer the sweat, think im getting a little old for hoodies that arent plain now. the soldier must look funny with a hood.

its totally pissing it down outside!

[Starky D]

yeah i got a bit bape x pissed on too

love the way security smiles lol "brolly over there love"

[evel]

Thanks Starky and Boss! Will have to go there as soon as possible and check them out.

I always thought the foot soldier would be better as a hoody but I'm liking the idea of the crew now as well.

[Bossman75]

Not seen em mate! What is the drop date over in the JP thread?

[gladerz]

I heard today that the landlords are kicking people out. Slammin kicks and Deal real are both going. Bond is also going and BWS is set to move and expand. This is all I really know for the moment though.

[Starky D]

It'd be good if they did to the UK one what they have in Japan and make it much more of a funky shop rather then just the box that it is. Like where they have all the milos going down the stairs or something

[Yom]

if they r gonna move they might as well make an ice cream and bbc floor like Harajuku. If not then it should look like bapexclusive with all the glass and sneakers in the window.

[meltdown155]

yh tht wud b sick the store at the moment is a bit 2 small

[Yom]

^oh yeah. and they could drop the prices to be in line with Japan and USA :D hey, I can dream.....

[steveatbath]

that by bathing ape sweat is gonna be copped in at least 2 colours, i much prefer the simple stuff

[Bossman75]

^oh yeah. and they could drop the prices to be in line with Japan and USA :D hey, I can dream.....

Well stuff seems to have gone down in price this season. But with the pound being what it is, and taxes being what they are, it's highly unlikely things will ever be as cheap as USA/JP, but it's all relative.

[Yom]

^yeah i know man, just like to moan about it sume times :)

[meltdown155]

lol yh i always moan about tht

[alibaba007]

i donttt really mind how small the shop is right now, kinda more exclusive and secret this way lol, hope the weather gets better for the weekend!

[chester]

got the burgandy asnka sweat today, nearly all new staff in their since i last visited.

[meltdown155]

ah i want a job ther has ne1 ever asked?

[crs-1]

I would imagine they are just moving premises as they do good enough Business not to be in trouble.

About £6 an hour and all the grief you can handle from people asking for stuff that sold out years ago :)

[Powerz22]

imagine the discount you get and profit you can make from reselling!

[crs-1]

If you have a proper job then this is irrelevant as you can buy the stuff you want and have a life too. How are you gonna survive on £200 a week in London. Train fare is £40 alone.

[alibaba007]

ahhh yeh i would still love to work there

[supremesupreme]

well my nephew whos 16 works at near abouts oxford circus and gets £800+ at the end of every month but is now doing part time and going to college he does nothing but spend it on garments and all on bathingape,supreme,neighbourhood,originalfake,dior ect... its madness how the youngers are catching on!

I didn't know that it was common knowledge that slammin and bond were gonna be going soon. I was doing some work for the company that is letting them. Slammin had no choice in the matter as 3 of the stores will be combined to make one bigger unit.but should be moving to somewhere close by.

[Starky D]

i have to say that sweater i got is a much better fit then previous ones they've gotten rid of the massive neck so you can't see my cleavage type thing

it's thinner tho but niceness all the same

i've worked in retail for 9 months in a department store and at times it was fun and i'm sure in a shop like BWS they have a good laugh but it gets soooooooooooooooooo boring at times, i mean imagine being in that tiny shop all day lol you'd start getting cabin fever

Slammins closing was annnounced on CT. I found out about Bond on here though. I hope they move close by because the staff are safe and it was pretty much my favourite shop in soho.


Yeah Satrky i hear you about retail. I used to work in Halfords back in the day and it was a right laugh at times.

[BusyApe]

I wish I could get myself down to London Busy Works, instead of having to buy things from Pondon all the time. :(
Hopefully, I'll be coming to London in like April '08, so hopefully, some good stuff be on sale at this time.

[Hero887]

U r not alone, weather is horrible here, not fully raining though, just drizzle, but its still warm, so u wear a coat to stay dry but sweat ya ass off :( Just get cold already?!

[SHOEBACCA]

"SHOCK NEWS" The North has good weather for a change!!! Lovely sunshine all day and is set to continue most of the week.....by which time I'll be at Bape store on Sat morning in the rain

[alibaba007]

yeahhhh its freezing in london! hopefully those thermal hoods drop soon lol

[Starky D]

i don't think it's that cold just when it's windy you get a chill but it's too warm for a coat if you're walking or getting on the tube

[alibaba007]

yeah true, tube is still kinda hot for a coat and if u walking fast u get sweaty, still would love a bape snow jacket, and whats tht jacket with BA on one sleeve and PE on the other?

[Hero887]

[Bossman75]

Nice update.

Does anyone actually wear the button up shirts to work I wonder? Do Bape do ties? I remember seeing a suit once on some auction or post. Wouldn't buy a suit made by a brand famed for its tees and hoodies to be honest.

Its a bit pointless imo because for formal shirts you can do much nicer. You could get them hand made at Saville Row and they would be the same price if not a bit less.
