Arby’s Releases ’13-Hour Drip Fit’ Made Out of Napkins To Celebrate National BBQ Day, New Sandwiches

Arby’s is leaning hard into its latest promotion, one following (and coinciding with) the launch of its 13-Hour Smoked Brisket Sandwich and 6-Hour Smoked Pulled Pork Sandwich, which it launched in April — both sandwiches backed by celebs Cedric the Entertainer and Anthony Anderson, and topped with the duo’s signature sauce.

According to a May 14 press release shared on the fast-food chain’s Inspire Stories website, Arby’s is now selling a “13 hour drip fit” barbecue outfit designed to soak up all of the saucy splatters common to that method of cooking. What’s more, the outfit is crafted entirely from linen napkins, meaning no apron is required (at least, if you don’t mind a few sauce stains all over your new white-and-red summer duds).

Jeff Baker, CMO at Arby’s, was a bit playful in his praise of the brand’s latest fashion offering.

“With the 13-Hour Drip Fit, we wanted to bring the slow-smoked swagger of our BBQ to life in a way you can wear. Made entirely from napkins, it’s fashion that says, ‘I came hungry,'” Baker said.

The outfit is prominently decked out in Arby’s branding as well as the logo of Cedric the Entertainer and Anthony Anderson’s sauce label, AC Barbeque — the latter featuring a blazing flame as its icon. The patchwork Cuban-style shirt is paired with a relaxed-fit pair of shorts complete with an elastic waistband for comfort, and is said to “pair great with curly fries and Horsey sauce.” Arby’s indicated that the bespoke garment exhibited some variance in manufacturing, and that it was decidedly not stain resistant (“you know, like napkins” the chain cheekily quipped).

There’s a limit of one 13-Hour Drip Fit per customer, and there are no returns being offered, except in rare instances where the outfit may arrive damaged. The getup is priced at $85, all sales are final, and no refunds are in play.

“We know the risks to a great fit when you love barbecue,” Anthony Anderson and Cedric the Entertainer said of the collab.

“AC Barbeque is all about enjoying the barbecue experience with great flavors and delicious meats. That is why we partnered with Arby’s to unveil these new sandwiches, because they know the value of quality meats. With the 13-Hour Drip Fit, we’re now able to enjoy our saucy goodness on mouthwatering meat, without the risk of a wardrobe malfunction,” the pair added.

The 13-Hour Drip Fit was launched on May 14 — just in time for National Barbecue Day, which is celebrated on May 16.
