As expected, many fashion brands are doing their part to help Japan by releasing special products to raise both awareness and money. Here are a few different tees that caught my eye over the past few days, from the likes of Bape, Cool Cats, Neighborhood, Stussy and Fragment...
Since it's such a short turnaround to make a shirt, these are only available online for now as a pre-order. Here are the links to cop yours and show love for Japan:
Bape - Baby Milo Rescue Rebuild (available online for Japanese residents on for now)
Cool Cats - Japan We Love U So (pre-order, will ship within 3 weeks)
Neighborhood - You Are Not Alone (only available at select Neighborhood physical accounts & stores)
Stussy x Fragment - One World, One Love, One Heart (pre-order to ship soon)

Bape has some new Baby Milo tees hitting stores that strongly hint at Twitter, and giving the well known blue Twitter bird the iconic Baby Milo/ Sanrio cartoon treatment... 
Really wish the back of the tee said 'follow @BAPEOFFICIAL' or something to give it the extra comedy factor, but that might help out Twitter's case too much if they ever found out about this shirt and weren't too happy.
Releasing this week at Bape stores worldwide as well as Bape.com.

Bape is at it again with the G-Shock DW6900, this time in a murdered out all black version...
Yeah yeah, call it an overpriced G-Shock, whatever, if you're a Bape stan like me, you know this watch is sick! I'm still bitter I missed out on the black Bape G-Shock from like 2006 because I was up at school, so this one might have to be my redemption/ birthday gift to myself.
Just released worldwide and online.

Bape's traveling Pirate Store is finally hitting the streets of London, opening up shop on January 22nd, and offering these special Pirate Shop tees...
The pop-up shop will only be open from the 22-30th, so all you London Bape heads be sure to head out there! It really is worth the trip, and even the long line that it will most likely draw. By the last days of the Pirate Shop in NYC this summer, items were marked like 90% off, which as you know is just unheard of for Bape.

January 22nd-30th, 2011

Happy New Years 2011 from the SwaggerDap family!

The third and final drop from the Bape x Stussy 'Survival of the Fittest' collection is dropping soon, and a nice little hidden gem of the collection is this murdered out Luminox 1100 Series watch...
So damn crispy. And while most of the collection (tees, black/grey camo hoody, backpack, and varsity jacket) will be dropping on new years day, this watch will be releasing on 1/15/10. Don't sleep!

Bape's URSUS line is teaming up with Dr Martens for some nice saddle shoes for Spring 2011...
Smooth, and a nice slight twist on the traditional saddle shoe. Part of the URSUS Spring 2011 collection.

Bape and G-Shock are at it once again, this time for a very simple, mostly back 5500 model...
CLEAN!!
Just released at Bape stores worldwide and on the Bape webshop. Go!

For the 2010 version of the Shark, Bape is going back to the simple OG colorways, with 'WGM' (world gone mad) patch on the half camo hood, and for a new detail, a half camo left sleeve...
Sure these look pretty much like the classic sharks that we all used to lust over, and while they definitely aren't better, the half camo sleeve is actually a pretty nice little detail. And I'm very pleased to see the original colorways, so crispy. Doesn't matter how mature fashion wants to get, the shark hoody is just a timeless piece of streetwear (the tiger and fish though, that's your own judgement call).
Out this weekend at Bape shops.

We just got some images of Bape x Stussy's second go-round, with a collection very fittingly titled 'Survival of the Fittest'...
The first half of this collab was pretty luke warm and consisted of just some tees and truckers, the most popular of which was simply the Stussy logo done up in Bape camo. Well luckily they were just testing the waters with that one, because round 2 looks pretty good. The Bape x Stussy skull camo looks way better on outerwear, and I'm a HUGE fan of the simple black items, as well as this fucking dope varsity jacket and jeans that weren't sent over to me, but did appear in the lookbook.
Look for this stuff to drop this weekend at Bape shops, and a small chance of an online release.

As the nasty Fall weather continues, Bape gears you up right with these new LL Duck Soldier Boots...
While the bottom half of most duck boots are rugged type rubber for complete waterproof action, these seem a little more sexy, but hopefully you get the same function. Then again, who is really out in the marshes hunting in Bape boots, right?
Comes in both brown and green embossed Bape camo leather uppers. Releasing this week at Bape shops.

The long awaited Bape Shanghai has just opened in Xintiandi, peep the interior...
It's always hard to judge how large a store is from pictures, but this looks like a pretty decent sized Bape store (which are mostly smaller than you'd think), and as always is very well done by Wonderwall. Nigo will be in on the 20th for a signing of the Shanghai opening tees as well as the release of the Shanghai camo items.
Can't wait to check it out.

Bape isn't JUST about monkeys, in fact they're now releasing a small capsule collection of goods for canines through the Bape Dog Store...
Dog goods like leashes, collars, toy bones, clothing, and beds will all get the classic Bape camo treatment. Apparently the clothing will be for "medium sized dogs" but knowing Japan, that probably still means relatively small dogs to Americans. Due out November 11th, hopefully in Bape stores, but possibly only a Zozotown.
One last time, Bape has no limits.

To celebrate the 8th anniversary of the London shop, Bape has teamed up with Skatething for an interestingly done tee...
Not the usual graphic, but it depicts London's statue of Eros along with the words "APEACIFIC APPAREL WORKS" in a seal as well as the address of the store, all within the ape head silhouette. To be released today (October 30th) exclusively at Bape London.
