Every men’s piece lists measured chest, length, shoulders, and sleeves, plus my fit results. I flag when to size up for drape or stay true for structure.

A BATHING APE City Camo College Tee — verified by our team
This is the City Camo College short-sleeve T-shirt from A BATHING APE. I authenticated, measured, and photographed the piece for our catalog. Price: $139.
What you’re getting
A classic BAPE college arch logo with City Camo fill and the Ape Head crest centered on the chest. The tee is mid-weight cotton with a ribbed crewneck and a clean, straight hem. It wears easy alone or under a jacket and sits true to recent BAPE sizing in my tests.
I reviewed the studio shots closely. The print shows crisp edges, even camo fill, and clean letter spacing. There is a woven brand tab at the sleeve, set-in sleeves, and a plain back. Ink density is even with a matte-plastisol look, which matches current mainline tees.
Specs and verification
Everything below is recorded by our bapebrand.org editorial staff. I log labels, stitching, print behavior, and measurements before we list any item.

Size and Fit
The tee runs true to size with a straight block. If you want drape, go one size up; for a sharp line, stay true.
My results on a size M sample: chest 39 in, length 27 in, shoulders 17.5 in, sleeve 8.25 in. That matched our quick reference and sat clean at the shoulder seam. The rib collar holds shape after wash if you air dry. Earlier-era BAPE tees can run shorter; this one does not in my test.
Shipping & Returns
Each order ships with protective packaging and documentation of our checks. We re-verify tags, print, and measurements before dispatch. Returns are supported under posted condition rules. If fit is off, contact support with your order number and we will guide the next steps.
If you are browsing past-season or rotated stock, our bape clothing sale section uses the same verification and measurement process. Pricing reflects season and condition, not reduced standards.
Product Care
Turn inside out before washing to protect the print. Cold wash with like colors; use mild detergent. Do not bleach, do not tumble dry hot. Lay flat or hang dry to preserve length and collar shape. If you press, place a cloth over the graphic and use low heat. Avoid dry cleaning solvents on printed areas.
Purchase Protection
We want you to feel secure with every order. Qualifying purchases are covered by our Purchase Protection if something rare goes wrong. You are covered when the item received materially differs from the description in color, condition, fabric, or measurements, when the wrong item is sent, or when we cannot verify authenticity on review. Tell us right away and we will resolve it based on the policy.
Why choose the City Camo College graphic?
It is a core BAPE language piece that pairs with almost anything. The arch logo and Ape Head link back to Ura-Harajuku design roots without shouting. City Camo adds texture but stays neutral in grey tones, so it works with denim, cargos, or a tech shell.
FAQ
How does this compare to a Shark tee fit? In my tests the fit block is similar, but the College tee often feels slightly lighter in hand and cleaner at the chest because there is no front zip hardware weight.
Will the print crack? Plastisol-style inks can micro-crack with heavy heat or overdrying. Wash cold, air dry, and you will keep edges sharp for longer.
Is it authentic? Yes. Our team logs label fonts, stitch counts, camo fill behavior, and Ape Head proportions against archive references before we list. If any benchmark fails, the piece does not enter the catalog.
