Obey Clothing is the apparel arm of street artist Shepard Fairey's work, launched in 2001 and grown out of his 1989 "Andre the Giant Has a Posse" sticker campaign and the redesigned Obey Giant face. The line pairs military and workwear silhouettes with propaganda-style graphics and political and social commentary: graphic tees, hoodies, work jackets, chore coats, cargo pants and caps. Design is led in-house alongside Fairey's art direction, and the brand regularly issues artist and label collaborations, including HUF, Levi's, Cope2 and Keith Haring. It remains privately held and operates from Irvine, California.

How Obey fits
| Category | Runs | Shape | Length | Size advice | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | slightly large | relaxed, dropped-shoulder on many styles | regular to slightly cropped in newer boxy cuts | Stick with your normal size unless you want an oversized look, in which case size up one. | medium |
| Shirts & overshirts | slightly large | relaxed workwear and chore-shirt cuts, boxy through the chest | regular, generally wearable untucked | Take your usual size, or size down if you want it less billowy over a tee. | low |
| Trousers & pants | true to size | relaxed and straight to wide cargo and work pants | long inseams that often need hemming on shorter frames | Order your measured waist size and plan on a hem if you're under about 5'9". | medium |
| Jeans & denim | true to size | straight to relaxed skate-oriented cuts | long, commonly stacked or cuffed | Buy your true waist measurement rather than your vanity-sized department-store number. | low |
| Jackets | slightly large | boxy workwear and chore-coat silhouettes cut for layering | regular, hitting around the hip | Your normal size usually layers well; size down if you want it worn over just a tee. | medium |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | slightly large | boxy to relaxed, wide-ish shoulders and sleeves | regular, some styles slightly long in the body | Order your usual size for a modern boxy look; size down if you prefer a fitted tee. | medium |
Does Obey run big or small?

Most shoppers report Obey runs close to true to size but with a deliberately relaxed, skate-influenced cut, so pieces often feel a touch roomier than mainstream retail equivalents.
