On January 22, 2022, A BATHING APE(R)︎, Japan's leading streetwear brand, and Woolrich, America's oldest outdoor brand, founded over 190 years ago, will release a collaborative collection. This marks the first time the two brands have teamed up, and the collection features a modern reinterpretation of Woolrich's iconic Arctic Parka, blanket, and APEHEAD cushion while retaining their high functionality. A short-sleeve tee created by BAPE(R)︎ will also be available.


The Arctic Parka, Blanket, and APEHEAD Cushion feature BAPE(R)'s distinctive graphics in Woolrich's traditional red and black buffalo check pattern, elevating the design to a street-like style that beautifully blends classic and modern, while the Short Sleeve TEE features a design that combines the icons of both brands.


The Arctic Parka is made from a wool jacquard blend fabric. Blending Woolrich's traditional buffalo check with BAPE®︎'s signature BAPE®️ CAMO, this highly functional piece features a detachable hood with faux fur trim, concealed ribbed storm cuffs, and handwarmer pockets. The front features a concealed closure and a double-sided collar with Woolrich and BAPE®︎ logo badges.


The "Blanket" features a multi-artwork design that mixes BAPE®️ CAMO and buffalo check. The reverse features a jacquard Wool® and Maxi® collaboration logo, black crotch stitching that surrounds the blanket's frame, and the front features an embroidered collaboration label.


The "APEHEAD Cushion" is a unique item made from wool-blend jacquard, featuring a buffalo check and APE HEAD jacquard on the front and BAPE(R)️ CAMO on the back. It also comes with a collaboration label on the back. The "Short Sleeve TEE" features an APEHEAD buffalo check pattern and an original graphic featuring the Woolrich logo and BAPE(R)️ CAMO printed on the front.

The BAPE(R)︎ x Woolrich collection will be available from January 22, 2022, at authorized A BATHING APE(R)️ retailers, the BAPE.COM WEB STORE, Woolrich Isetan Shinjuku, and Woolrich Shinsaibashi.
