If you want to get a bape hoodie then before you spend that big sum of cash you better learn how to check it first.
Know Your Fakes
So first of all if you want a brand new (deadstock) bape hoodie you're looking at $360+ in the U.S so that means anything brand new under $360 is most likely fake.
Used hoodies go for around $250-$360 depending on condition.
That's what your average fake hoodie will look like they're very cheap quality and easily able to be called out upon. The prices for these will be around $20-40 dollars.
Mid Tier Reps
Now if you notice on the Mid Tier Reps the shark face is slightly off, hood is slightly too small, the tag (sellers name on paper or something the seller uses to show original pictures) is in Chinese or Japanese (legit hoodies can have a Chinese or Japanese tag but most of the time it will be fake) and they have similar carpets and low picture quality.
High Tier Reps
Now these tend to be in the $50-100 dollar range and are close to retails. There are few flaws that can tell a pair apart. Sometimes the shark face will be off, WGM sizing is off, or the tiger A is too close to the face. The best way to Legit Check them is to check the tags
