A light cotton Bape short with camo print, mid-rise drawstring waist, slight stretch, and sizes M–XXXL, listed for casual sport wear. No buyer reports cover this SKU, and Bape shorts sizing signals elsewhere conflict, so ask the seller for measured waist and length before ordering.

Pros
Cons
Fit notes
Sizing signals disagree: r/bapeheads advice is to size up between two sizes, one Bape x Adidas short ran about two sizes large, and a Taobao guide notes slim-tapered Bape pants. This listing states a straight cut and mid rise with a 1–3 cm tolerance. Ask for measured waist and inseam.
Buy if
You want a thin cotton camo short for casual wear and are willing to confirm waist and inseam measurements with the seller first, given that Bape shorts sizing reports point in different directions.
Skip if
You want a plain non-camo basic, a heavier fabric weight, or a fit you can order without checking measurements. The sizing record for Bape shorts is inconsistent enough that a blind order is a gamble.

Buying FAQ
The listing states a straight cut, mid rise, and slight stretch with a 1–3 cm tolerance. Because Bape shorts sizing reports elsewhere disagree, request measured waist and inseam from the seller and match those numbers.
The listing names cotton as the main fabric and cites breathable and moisture-wicking functions in a thin weight with slight stretch. No buyer report confirms those properties for this SKU.
No. The available claims are brand-level sizing notes and one review of a different Bape camo shorts style, so use them as context rather than evidence about this item.
Black, pink, and white across M through XXXL, with a camo print, jacquard detail, and a mid-length cut.
The listing does list winter as a suitable season, which reads loosely against a thin cotton short. Treat that tag as a rough guide and layer accordingly.
Evidence
Long-time streetwear buyers say BAPE's quality has declined over the years while prices rose, with heavier mass production.
SourceA buyer complained that a BAPE garment's material had changed from a slightly coarse cotton to a slick, cool-to-the-touch fabric, and was bothered by a faint odor on the new piece.
SourceA BAPE camo shorts review describes the fabric as a cotton blend with some body that drapes without collapsing, and praises the waistband fit.
SourceBAPE apparel generally runs close to true to size but leans small; buyers in r/bapeheads advise sizing up when you are between two sizes.
SourceA BAPE x Adidas shorts release was reported by a buyer to fit at least two sizes larger than expected, because the cut was made extra baggy.
SourceA Chinese buying guide notes most BAPE pants have a slim-tapered cut: the waist runs accurate but the thighs and seat are trimmed, so buyers wanting a relaxed look should size up.
