Let's be real - ordering merch is a gamble. Will that hoodie fit like a champion's robe or a straightjacket? For Bad Friends fans, the stakes are higher. Your gear needs to capture the chaotic energy of Bobby Lee and Andrew Santino, not just hang there like a sad napkin. That's why we created this size guide: to help you nail the fit so you can focus on laughing, not tugging at sleeves.
Why Getting the Right Size Matters for Bad Friends Gear
Your Bad Friends merch isn't just clothing - it's a statement. Whether you're repping the "Papaya" gang or sporting Bobby's manic grin, the fit defines your vibe. Too tight and you'll feel like you're in a Santino chokehold. Too loose and you'll look like you're wearing Andrew's hand-me-downs (which, let's face it, would probably smell like desperation and gas station snacks).
Getting the right size means comfort, longevity, and the right silhouette. You want to be able to reach for your phone without popping a seam, or lean back and let the hoodie cocoon you during a late-night podcast binge. Plus, a proper fit shows you care - even if your humor is deeply unhinged.
Bad Friends Hoodie Size Chart and Fit Notes
Our hoodies are designed with chaos in mind. They're pre-shrunk, mid-weight, and built to withstand countless rewatches of the "Weird Hospital Food" episode. Here's the size breakdown:
| Size | Chest (inches) | Length (inches) | Sleeve (inches) |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | 36-38 | 26 | 32 |
| M | 39-41 | 27 | 33 |
| L | 42-44 | 28 | 34 |
| XL | 45-48 | 29 | 35 |
| 2XL | 49-52 | 30 | 36 |
Fit notes: If you're between sizes, size up for that "I just woke up from a bender" vibe, or size down for a cleaner cut that says "I have my life together (but I still laugh at fart jokes)." The hoodies run true to size with a relaxed fit through the body. For layering over a tee, stick with your usual size. For a slouchier look (à la Bobby's infamous oversized sweater phase), go up one size.
Bad Friends T-Shirt Sizing: Classic vs. Slim Fit
T-shirts are the bread and butter of any merch collection. Our tees come in two flavors: classic (standard) and slim fit. Here's the tea:
Classic fit: Generous cut, straight hem, room to move. Perfect for those who like their tees loose enough to hide a snack stash. Ideal for comfort and airflow during heated debates about who's funnier - Bobby or Andrew (it's obviously Bobby, but we digress).
Slim fit: Closer to the body, tapered sides, modern cut. Great for layering under a jacket or showing off your gains from lifting nachos to your mouth. Not recommended if you plan on eating a full Korean BBQ feast immediately after putting it on.
Size chart for both fits (chest in inches):
| Size | Classic | Slim |
|---|---|---|
| S | 38 | 36 |
| M | 41 | 39 |
| L | 44 | 42 |
| XL | 48 | 45 |
| 2XL | 52 | 49 |
The classic fit is the same as the hoodie's chest sizing, so you can mix and match with confidence. If you're still unsure, grab both - one for wearing and one for framing (because that Bobby Lee face is art, damn it).
Tips for International Buyers: Converting Sizes
Shipping chaos knows no borders. For our international Bad Friends fam, here's how to convert your local size to our chaos-friendly measurements:
- UK/AU sizes: Go one size up from your usual. A UK L is our M. Why? Because British telly makes everything seem smaller (and we respect the queen's measurements).
- EU sizes: Use chest cm (divide by 2.54 to get inches). A typical EU 48 (chest 96 cm) translates to our M. But note: EU sizing often runs slimmer, so if you like a looser fit, size up.
- Asia sizes: Most Asian brands run small. If you're a typical L in Japan, go for our XL or even 2XL. Bobby's Korean heritage agrees: Koreans know how to hide snacks in oversized clothing.
Pro tip: Measure yourself with a soft tape. Don't guess based on that one shirt you bought in 2016 that fits weird. Bust out the measuring tape, channel your inner Santino (measure with confidence and a side of sarcasm), and compare to our charts. If all else fails, contact us via the Contact Us page (we don't do emails - that's old news).
Remember: sizing is an art, not a science. A slight variation is part of the handmade charm. Embrace the imperfections - just like Bad Friends embraces bad ideas.
Now go forth and wear your chaos with pride. Your perfect fit is waiting.
