Where can I buy bape hoodies from 60$?
Genuine Bape hoodies from 60$ cannot be found anywhere. The only way you'll get one at that low price, is if you buy a fake copy of Bape (fape) or if you give a little back-alley "vacuum demonstration" to the guy who's selling the authentic Bape hoodie. Ahoodie.com recently bought 10 hoodies from "10 different wholesale suppliers" (copies) to compare the quality of the garments.

1st Bape Hoodie: We ordered a baby milo all-over, multicolour camo and received a Bape multicolour camo. The fit of the garment was nice, the print was very good quality and didn't wash out but the fabric quality was a bit shitty so the vest shrank A LOT after washing it (did not even put it in the dryer ).
2nd Bape hoodie: Horrible print quality ( print bleeding, washed out colors ) bad fit, low quality fabric.
3rd Bape Hoodie: Same.
4rth Bape Hoodie: Same.
5th Bape Hoodie: We placed an order for a certain hoodie that was said to be available, once the order was placed and the money had been received by the supplier, they told us that they didn't have our desired garment anymore. We had to choose another. The fabric was nice, the prints were not so great.
6th Bape Hoodie (notice how I say "Bape" hoodie...to rank for "Bape Hoodie" haha...anyways) so the 6th "Bape hoodie" was also total shit, big disappointment, the puller broke in the washing machine and the zipper was the wrong colour. We could tell the hoodie was put together from 3-4 different fabric rolls because the sleeves stayed the same colour, the chest was now a whole lot lighter, the hood changed to a different colour and the front pockets started to show holes (most likely because the fabric was very old).
7th and 8th hoodies were BBC hoodies: We ordered a white diamond hood and all over print of the cash symbols on a black hoodie. The fits were a whole lot better than on the other bape hoodies, probably because they were made from american size specs (longer chest and sleeves, the hoodie wasn't as wide). The white hoodie wasn't bad at all, but the black one was stiff from the dark all over print/dye. The sleeves from the black one also were lighter then the rest of the vest. Both hoodies smelled like a gag-inducing mix of moth-balls and cheap dye.
9th one was a Baby Milo Hoodie: It was very comfortable, made from a nice, thick fabric. The all-over print was ok, it didn't wash out. But it had a few misprints and was obviously not an authentic garment, and crappy copy at that! Oh, and it took a month for shipping.
The last one was a bape: The all-over print was good quality, the fabric was nice, the rib was thick and good quality, it was the best hoodie so far...down side was that we ordered a medium and received a double XL. Also, it was a Bape print, but the labels were all Baby Milo (can you believe THAT was the best supplier?)

So in conclusion, we DON'T recommend you buy FAKE BAPE. And, keep in mind that bape and all related clothing lines can't be bought wholesale. But...BUT! We also bought a few genuine Bape hoodies and this is what we noted: The prints are absolutely wonderful, the specs aren't bad, the fabric is nice, but the overall finish is very cheap. Clothing lines like burton, quicksilver, billabong, volcom, or even nike and adidas to name a few have a quality finish that surpasses Bape's by 400%. We noticed that the Bape hoodies don't even have twill tape on the inside collar seam (right under the collar label). The zipper is not even covered with fabric or twill tape, and the stitching is pretty cheap. If the garments didn't have such nice allover prints the hoodies would be sold for 40$ at KrapMart.

Expect to pay 400usd to 800usd. Some "very" limited bape garments can go up to 2ks ( hoods and jackets )
