A cotton pullover hoodie listed in a loose cut across S–XXL, with a cartoon print and a large run of loopback colorways in black, white, and grey. The listing supports the fabric, hood, and flap-pocket build; no independent buyer evidence covers this exact item. Confirm chest and length measurements with the seller before ordering.

Pros
Cons
Fit notes
Sizes span S–XXL and the listing calls the cut loose. Independent BAPE fit guidance says the brand's hoodies run small and buyers size up one or two sizes. Those two signals conflict, so ask for a flat-lay chest and length measurement rather than trusting the letter.
Buy if
You want a cotton pullover hoodie with a cartoon print, a loose cut, and spring/fall weight, and you are willing to confirm flat-lay chest and length measurements with the seller first.
Skip if
You need a fleece-lined winter layer or a fitted silhouette. The listing names no lining and no fleece, and the loose cut it describes is the opposite of trim.

Buying FAQ
The listing names cotton as both the main fabric and the material composition, with a 350–400g weight band, and the color names use loopback terry.
The listing labels the fit loose, while independent BAPE guidance says the brand's hoodies typically run small and buyers size up. Ask the seller for flat chest and length figures and compare them to a hoodie you already own.
No. The listing states no lining and no added fleece, and positions the hoodie for spring and fall.
No independent buyer evidence covers this item. The sizing, graphic-QC, and smell reports in the record come from BAPE generally or from rep-market reviewers, not from this listing.
A long run of numbered loopback colors, each available in black, white, and grey.
Evidence
BAPE hoodies are typically made of heavyweight 100% cotton; if a hoodie feels thin, stretchy, or synthetic it is often not genuine.
SourceQC discussions of rep Bape shark hoodies frequently flag flaws such as mismatched ape-head eye sizes, misspaced camo motifs, and misaligned or thin lettering in the graphic.
SourceA buyer who purchased Bape-style pieces from a China marketplace described the cotton material as not very good and reported tags falling apart.
SourceBAPE hoodies are generally cut slim and run small; buyers usually size up one size for a standard fit and two sizes for a relaxed/oversized look, especially in hoodies.
SourceSome BAPE buyers report that in-store sample try-on garments did not match the size of the shirt they were sold, leading to complaints about misleading sizing.
SourceA rep Bape hoodie reviewer noted the piece initially carried a smell that faded after airing it out / wearing it a while.
