Geek Apparel of the Week: Bape Batman Hoodie
It’s time to face facts, guys?no matter how much we may loathe John Mayer for his perfection of sissy rock and they way he makes girls swoon, the fact is, his music aside, he seems to be a pretty funny dude. He’s interrupted other people’s concerts in a bear suit, for god’s sake. Sadly, he’s also the only reason I know of and can inform you about the fucking awesome Batman hoodie from the Japanese designer Bathing Ape, because he wore it right after he dumped Jennifer Aniston. The hoodie?and admittedly, perhaps only super-rich guys can pull-off a hoodie with little bat-ears on it?which would normally run a couple of hundred bucks but can be bought here for $65. Thanks to stylish and equally ashamed TR reader Christopher for the tip.
