# Military-Themed Streetwear The New BAPE x READYMADE Collection Leverages Military Looks By Niko Pajkovic | Published 2021-10-19 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bape-x-readymade References: [fooddive](https://www.fooddive.com/news/barry-callebaut-cacaofruit-nutraceutical-drink-elix/608285/) & [bape](http://bape.com) The recently unveiled 'BAPE x READYMADE AW21' collection boasts a wide range of military-inspired garments dressed in BAPE's signature graphics. The launch of the new capsule is the third time these two brands have teamed up. Most recently, READYMADE, a brand known for reworking second-hand garments, had partnered with BAPE on a colorful, graphics-heavy collection in June. Now, the two Japanese labels have worked to reimagine the military uniform. The collection presents a new version of the 'BAPE x READYMADE' down jacket, which is delivered in an army-green colorway and covered in eye-catching graphics and patchwork. Other items in the collection include cargo pants, a clutch bag, and even a 'BABY MILO' plush doll made from vintage military fabrics.
