Dapper Dan and GAP have created quality threads in their four previous collections, so they’ve connected for their fifth.

This time, the offerings go beyond the famous DAP GAP hoodie in favor of a 22-piece collection, its largest since the collaboration first kicked off two years ago.

But don’t worry, the DAP GAP hoodie emerged in four new colorways, as Dapper Dan charts a new journey to change the negative connotation that comes with the hoodie, despite it being a cultural staple that’s been elevated.

“At certain points in history, the hoodie had been used to represent the dark side of our culture, so this partnership with Gap presents it in a way that shows you can wear a hoodie and be fly, be international, and elegant,” Dapper Dan said in a press release. “This new installation also symbolizes universal love and unity. You’ll see every single piece of this collection was created with love and intention down to the updated logo stitched inside each garment. We are in the present preparing for the future because this brand, this collaboration, is about bringing everybody together. We were some of the original cowboys. But we are also the faces of the world to come — we are the urban cowboys.”

Outside of the hoodies is a Western-tinged denim button-down, Oxford shirt, sweatpants, socks and a standout piece: a houndstooth denim jacket with matching jeans. Denim houndstooth is a theme in the collection and is featured on contrasting hoodies and pockets, bucket hats, tote bags and a fanny pack.

Another interesting piece done up in denim with houndstooth detailing is a kimono, which Dapper Dan tells Hypebeast that the design always stuck with him after he created one for a famous artist who promised to rock it once then hang it from her walls like a piece of art.

“I kept thinking about how significant that was and how much that piece meant to her. So, I wanted to recreate that in a way that incorporates a touch of what I like to do, which is the logomania. It always has to have a touch of that logomania,” he says, noting that the kimono is also genderless.

Dapper Dan is making sure the kids stay fresh, too, with some new Gap Kids hoodies and a stuffed teddy bear who’s also rocking the hoodie. The Gap X Dapper Dan collection continues to have respectable prices, with items ranging from $25 to $158.

You won’t have to wait long to add your favorite to your online cart, with the release taking place Feb. 9 at 9 a.m. and GAP stores in Harlem (of course) as well as Times Square, the Bronx, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Washington D.C.

Girl receives flu shot at outdoor free clinic

This week in politics, the vibes are messy, alarming, and straight-up confusing. From late night TV being snatched off the air to vaccine policies getting hijacked, it’s giving “WTF is going on?” Let’s break down the headlines everyone’s talking about inside. First Amendment on the Chopping Block Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show has been pulled from ABC, and Stephen Colbert’s show? Cancelled completely. The official line is murky, but the bigger picture is loud. Free speech is being tested under the Trump administration. While Trump once said he’d “honor” the First Amendment, recent moves suggest he’s working off a remix version that only benefits him. Case in point? The Guardian reports his $15 billion lawsuit against The New York Times. A judge already tossed it out, saying Trump’s claims about “false content” violated federal rules. Still, the fact that these lawsuits and cancellations keep happening has people questioning the future of free expression in America. CDC Shake-Up Sparks Health Concerns Meanwhile, over at the CDC, things are getting political fast. Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has basically turned the agency upside down, firing all 17 members of the vaccine advisory committee and replacing them with appointees that include vaccine skeptics. On top of that, the CDC director is out, high-level staffers are resigning, and decisions about vaccine safety are suddenly more about politics than science. Public health leaders are calling this move dangerous, saying it dismantles independent oversight just when Americans need clarity most. According to California’s government website, they are one of the few states pushing back on the federal government’s stance. California, Washington, and Hawaii aren’t taking it lying down. The states have formed an alliance pushing back on the feds, promising to keep vaccine guidance rooted in science, safety, and transparency. Their health officers are reviewing guidelines from trusted medical groups like the AAP and ACOG to ensure communities still have access to clinically recommended vaccines. Trump & Xi Meet About US TikTok’s Next Chapter And then there’s TikTok. After years of “will they, won’t they?” drama, Trump announced that he and Chinese Premier Xi Jinping approved a deal for TikTok’s U.S. operations. According to BBC, the plan reportedly hands control to a group of U.S. investors, sidestepping a shutdown. Trump called the call with Xi “productive” on Truth Social, and even, teased a face-to-face meetup at the APEC summit in South Korea this fall. From free speech battles to vaccine wars and TikTok drama, this week in politics has us all asking the same thing: WTFGO?
