The Bored Ape Yacht Club is charting its own course and telling its own story through a wardrobe that's fit for the sea and pays homage to the club's nautical roots.
On Monday, the BAYC took to the timeline to give members their first look at Manifest 001, the opening drop in a multi-release apparel collection that will roll out throughout the year as the club continues to create its own distinct look.
“The Manifest is how the Club tells its own story,” Yuga Labs CEO Michael Figge wrote. “Each drop moves the narrative forward. Flying Colors is where we begin. Sails led our inspiration. The colors, the patterns, the way they read when everything is in motion on the water.”
Manifest 001, titled Flying Colors, consists of three pieces: a yacht jacket inspired by the timeless sailing styles made popular by brands like Nautica in the 1990s, a sail print hat that can be worn three different ways, and a pair of deck shorts featuring chain stitched embroidery inspired by the best club on the internet.
“This is the dresscode,” Figge wrote.
As the Gazette previously reported, the Manifest collection is another step toward Figge's broader vision of putting the Yacht Club back into the Bored Ape Yacht Club through more intentional design, aesthetics, and storytelling.
“We’ve also been thinking about what it actually means to be a Yacht Club - not just the name, but the feeling behind it,” the BAYC tweeted in April. “That’s starting to take shape. From here on out, you’ll see it show up more clearly in our apparel, our collaborations, and an aesthetic that finally does the Yacht Club name justice.”
Tonight, the BAYC has not yet announced when Manifest 001 will become available for purchase, but it should be soon considering how much the club has on deck.
