Tommy Jeans x AAPE by A Bathing Ape (BAPE) have released the second instalment of their collaborative collection, in the form of a wintery streetwear capsule that fuses elements of ‘90s skate style with streetwear silhouettes. Tommy Jeans is a subset of the Tommy Hilfiger brand, targeting a younger, more digitally-oriented audience, making its pairing with AAPE an apt one. The latter is also an offshoot brand, taking shape as the graphic-heavy, youth-geared younger brother of BAPE.

Designed for cooler weather, the second Tommy Jeans x AAPE capsule comprises outerwear, cold-weather accessories, and collectable skateboards, with highlights including stonewashed denim jackets, beanies, fleece-lined windbreakers, a camo puffer jacket, and plaid-print outerwear. Fusing AAPE’s streetwear sensibilities with Tommy Jeans’ preppy vibe, the collection is naturally abound with co-branding, with both the Tommy Jeans and AAPE brand names coexisting on an amalgamated logo that feature’s the latter’s ape head logo in the former’s red, white, and navy colours.
To present the collection, Tommy Jeans and AAPE enlisted the help of NYC skaters Lucinda Johnson, Kyota Umeki, Hank Korsan, and Brandon Scott James, following the quartet around the city’s most iconic locations, including Manhattan’s Lower East Side and Brighton Beach in Brooklyn.
The capsule collection is available to shop via the Tommy Jeans webstore.
