Japan's A Bathing Ape released a fleece bomber to keep its loyal consumers warm throughout the frigid weather that's ahead of many of them.
The jacket follows a series of other unique products and apparel from the streetwear brand, including a pair of collectible Star Wars figurines that it created with Medicom Toy, as well as some camouflage sneakers that were collaboratively designed with Reebok.
For its fleece bomber, BAPE uses its iconic logo throughout, making a camouflage pattern with the ape's profile. The majority of the jackets are left a light beige hue, while irregular spots of military green, brown and black break it up. A crushed satin pocket is included on the sleeve to add a little more variance as well.
