Dropping May 14 in collaboration with [nostalgia-fueled fashion brand](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kfc-tailor-made-couture) [Chain](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drip-fit), the button-down shirt and matching shorts are engineered to soak up every last drip of mouthwatering brisket and pulled pork, offering messy meat lovers a wearable solution to BBQ chaos. The outfit pays homage to Arby’s new Quarter Pound Brisket (smoked for 13 hours) and Pulled Pork (smoked for 6 hours) sandwiches, topped with AC Barbecue from Anthony Anderson and Cedric The Entertainer. With National Barbecue Day around the corner, the 13 Hour Drip Fit delivers a clever fusion of function and flair, letting wearers embrace every bite without risking their real outfit.
