WTAPS, pronounced double taps after a military shooting technique, was founded in Tokyo in 1996 by Tetsu Nishiyama as his second label. Rooted in the Ura-Harajuku scene, it builds menswear from military uniforms, workwear and outdoor gear, filtered through punk and skateboarding. Limited releases have given it a cult following, and it has collaborated with Vans, Supreme and Stüssy.
