SET SAIL FOR A SALE: The BAYC's Manifest 001: Flying Colors Collection Drops Thursday At 9 A.M. PDT!

The Bored Ape Yacht Club is about to set sail for a sale!

This Thursday at 9 a.m. PDT, the BAYC's Manifest 001: Flying Colors collection will officially drop, giving Apes everywhere the chance to bring the Yacht Club to their wardrobes.

 

Inspired by the Yacht Club's seafaring roots, Thursday's drop will feature five limited edition pieces.

Leading the collection are 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.

Alongside those staples, the club has also created two pieces for the ladies of BAYC: a baby blue cropped tee embroidered with the words "Bored Ape Yacht Club" and the club's first ever midi skirt, complete with an embroidered BAYC Skull logo.

As the Gazette previously reported, Thursday's release is another step toward Yuga Labs CEO Michael Figge's 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.”

 

Later this year, Apes can also look forward to two more Yacht Club themed collections, Regatta and Commodore, as the club continues its maiden voyage!

The Gazette is working to find out more about this week's Manifest 001: Flying Colors drop and will keep you posted on all things Ape apparel. Stay tuned for updates!
