Overview
Let's be real: you didn't come here to agonize over sleeve lengths. You came for that Bad Friends Classic T-Shirt you've seen Bobby and Santino rocking on the pod. But if you grab the wrong size, you'll end up looking like you borrowed it from a guy who stands six inches taller. That's why we put together this no-nonsense Bad Friends merch size chart - so you can order once, wear it everywhere, and never do the awkward exchange dance.
The Bad Friends store carries a tight lineup: the Classic Tee, the Premium Hoodie, the Polo, and the Tank. Each one fits a little differently. The relaxed unisex cut of the Classic Tee means it runs roomy, while the hoodie layers up, and the polo sits closer to the chest. A simple "medium" doesn't tell you everything - that's where this guide steps in.
Andrew Santino and Bobby Lee have been dishing out weekly episodes of the Bad Friends podcast since 2020, and by July 2026 the show's still going strong. With summer in full swing, the store just restocked its core lineup - so now's the time to lock in your size before your go-to tee sells out again.

How to Measure (in 30 Seconds)
Grab a tape measure and a shirt you already own that fits the way you like. Lay it flat, then:
- Chest: Measure one inch below the armpit, straight across.
- Length: Measure from the top of the shoulder seam to the bottom hem.
- Sleeve: Measure from the shoulder seam to the cuff.
That's it. Two or three numbers and you're ready to pick your size.
Bad Friends Classic T-Shirt ($24.99)
This is the workhorse of the official Bad Friends store. It's 100% ring-spun cotton, pre-shrunk, with a relaxed unisex fit. Pre-shrunk means what you see is what you get after a wash - no surprise shrinking that turns your medium into a crop top. Here's the chart for the Classic Tee:
| Size | Chest (inches) | Length (inches) | Sleeve (inches) |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | 34-36 | 28 | 8 |
| M | 38-40 | 29 | 8.5 |
| L | 42-44 | 30 | 9 |
| XL | 46-48 | 31 | 9.5 |
| XXL | 50-52 | 32 | 10 |
If you're between sizes, lean toward the larger one - the relaxed fit is supposed to hang loose, not hug your ribs. And if you want to see the full lineup, head to Bad Friends's t-shirt collection.
Bad Friends Premium Hoodie ($49.99)
The hoodie is a different animal. It's designed for layering, so it runs a half-size bigger than the tee. If you normally wear a large tee, go with a large hoodie if you want room for a hoodie underneath. If you wear it over a t-shirt, your normal size works. The chest measurements run about 2 inches wider than the Classic Tee at each size, and the length is about an inch longer for better coverage.
Bad Friends Polo Shirt ($34.99)
The polo has a more tailored cut. It's not slim-fit, but it's definitely less relaxed than the tee. If you're between sizes, size down here for a cleaner look at the collar. The polo also uses a slightly stretchier cotton blend, so it recovers its shape well after washing.
Bad Friends Tank Top ($19.99)
The tank is the summer solution. It's cut true to the Classic Tee's relaxed fit, but with a lower armhole. The chest measurements are the same as the tee, but the length is about 2 inches shorter, so if you're tall, size up.
Where to Buy
The only official place to grab these is the official Bad Friends store - don't trust that suspicious third-party site with the faded Bobo logo. Ordering directly also gets you the real "Bad Friends" branding, not a bootleg that falls apart after two washes.
If you're not sure which product you want, explore the full collection and compare sizes across all four pieces. The Classic Tee is the anchor, but the hoodie's got that heavy weight that's perfect for those cold studio days. Either way, check the size chart one more time before you hit "Add to Cart."
FAQ
