Size Chart
Please check the size guide before ordering.
Bob’s Lore accepts no responsibility for shirts that fit like a tent, cling like a bad decision, or restrict movement during Tuesday-related leg incidents.
Measure yourself, compare carefully, and remember: confidence is not a size.
If in doubt, size up. You can always look relaxed. You cannot always breathe.

Return & Refund policy
Our goal is for every Bellend to be properly satisfied with their loot.
If your order arrives and something feels wrong, cursed, Tuesday’d, directionally optimistic, or clearly inspected by Bob in a field, let us know.
We’ll do our best to put it right, apply the necessary cultural maintenance, and avoid creating arrears with the Bank of Bellends.
Shipping
We’ll work quickly to get your loot packed, logged, and sent before Bob wanders off into a field with it.
Once your order has shipped, you’ll receive an email with further details, assuming the message survives Tuesday, navigation errors, and any unexpected shed-based delays.
Delivery times vary depending on your location, local conditions, and whether the route passes anywhere near Nadbor.
Survival Is Important. Bob Has Been Informed. Results Remain Disappointing.
There are two types of DayZ survivors.
Those who prepare.
And Bob.
One checks their equipment, monitors their health, carries supplies and makes sensible decisions based on the conditions around them.
The other has spotted something interesting on the horizon and is already running towards it.
Despite being hungry.
Despite being thirsty.
Despite being cold.
And despite the increasingly urgent collection of warning symbols appearing on the screen.
BOB HAS OTHER PRIORITIES.
Perhaps there's a shed.
Perhaps there's a survivor.
Perhaps there's gunfire.
Perhaps there's something that looks suspiciously like a terrible idea.
Whatever it is, Bob has decided that it requires immediate investigation.
Food can wait.
Water can wait.
Medical attention can probably wait.
And surely that little red health indicator isn't as important as everyone keeps suggesting.
THIS IS WHY THE WARNING EXISTS.
THE BASIC SURVIVAL PROBLEM.
DayZ is not particularly subtle about its survival mechanics.
The game provides clear indicators showing whether your character is cold, hungry, thirsty, injured or approaching a rather unfortunate end.
For most players, these are helpful warnings.
For Bob, they appear to be decorative suggestions.
Temperature dropping?
Keep moving.
Food running low?
We'll find something later.
Water dangerously low?
There's probably a well in the next town.
Blood looking concerning?
Perhaps don't mention it.
Health nearly gone?
EXCELLENT TIME TO START A CONVERSATION WITH AN ARMED STRANGER.
The Livonia Historical Society has reviewed this strategy.
It has found several weaknesses.
Primarily that it relies upon the player surviving long enough to deal with the problems they have been ignoring.
This has not always proved successful.
THE APPLE INCIDENT.
Consider the food indicator.
A humble little apple.
Normally, it represents something straightforward.
Your character requires food.
Find something edible.
Eat it.
Continue surviving.
An elegant system.
Unfortunately, Bob has developed a more complicated interpretation.
The apple turns red.
Chat notices.
Somebody points out that Bob needs to eat.
Bob acknowledges the information.
Then continues running.
Because apparently the next town has better opportunities.
Or there's something interesting nearby.
Or he's just remembered where he was going.
Several minutes pass.
The apple remains red.
The situation is deteriorating.
Chat mentions food again.
Bob announces that he'll sort it out shortly.
Then investigates another shed.
THE APPLE HAS NOW FILED A FORMAL COMPLAINT.
Unfortunately, it has been ignored.
THE WATER DEPARTMENT.
Next comes hydration.
Another simple survival requirement.
Humans need water.
DayZ characters need water.
Even Bob needs water.
Although he occasionally appears determined to test the boundaries of this established biological principle.
The hydration indicator turns red.
Chat recommends finding a well.
Bob agrees.
This is encouraging.
A plan has been established.
Water will be obtained.
Survival will continue.
Unfortunately, on the way to the well, something happens.
There is a noise.
A building.
An interesting-looking object.
Perhaps a person.
And suddenly the original objective has been replaced.
WATER PROCUREMENT SUSPENDED.
Reason: Something else looked interesting.
The Society considers this an unacceptable explanation.
Bob considers it an adventure.
THE TEMPERATURE SITUATION.
Of course, hunger and thirst are not the only concerns.
DayZ also features weather.
Cold weather.
Wet weather.
Weather that makes sensible survivors reconsider their clothing, location and immediate priorities.
The temperature indicator turns blue.
Bob is cold.
Perhaps he needs better clothing.
Perhaps he needs a fire.
Perhaps he needs somewhere sheltered.
Perhaps he should stop running around in the rain while his other survival indicators deteriorate.
All perfectly reasonable suggestions.
Unfortunately, Bob has almost reached somewhere interesting.
He cannot possibly stop now.
THE WEATHER WILL HAVE TO UNDERSTAND.
It does not.
THE BLOOD AND HEALTH DEPARTMENTS.
Eventually, neglecting basic survival needs tends to create complications.
And because this is Bob, those complications often arrive accompanied by infected, other survivors or an entirely unnecessary confrontation.
Perhaps an encounter has gone badly.
Perhaps somebody started shooting.
Perhaps a perfectly ordinary journey has become an unexpected combat situation.
Whatever the cause, the blood indicator is now red.
Shortly afterwards, the health indicator becomes similarly concerning.
This would normally be the moment to stop.
Regroup.
Recover.
Make a sensible plan.
And perhaps reconsider the wisdom of continuing to attract attention.
Unfortunately, Bob has identified another opportunity.
"I'M JUST GOING TO HAVE A LOOK."
The LHS considers this one of the most dangerous phrases in the community.
Particularly when the speaker has approximately the same remaining health as a slightly bruised tomato.
THE ELK WARNING SYSTEM.
Eventually, Bob's unique approach to survival became sufficiently recognisable that it developed into a wider community warning.
On Elk's stream, the command !dontbob became a reminder to avoid repeating Bob's more questionable decisions.
When triggered, StreamElements delivers a beautifully simple piece of advice:
"About to do something you'll regret? Before you do, remember to do what Bob doesn't!"
There it is.
One command.
One warning.
An entire survival philosophy.
Because sometimes the best way to learn what you should do is to observe somebody repeatedly demonstrating what happens when you don't.
Bob may forget to eat.
So eat.
Bob may forget to drink.
So find water.
Bob may ignore the cold.
So stay warm.
Bob may continue adventuring while injured.
So deal with your injuries.
Bob may run directly towards a completely avoidable confrontation while dangerously low on health.
PERHAPS DON'T DO THAT.
The Society considers this sound advice.
Which is a remarkable achievement for a community warning inspired by somebody else's questionable survival skills.
THE OFFICIAL LHS PRE-ADVENTURE CHECKLIST.
Before leaving a safe location, the Society recommends reviewing five essential questions.
1. ARE YOU COLD?
If yes, address the situation.
Warm clothing.
Shelter.
A suitable fire.
Whatever is appropriate.
Do not simply announce that the next town is only a little further away.
2. ARE YOU HUNGRY?
If yes, eat something.
Food is not an optional cosmetic feature.
It is one of the fundamental requirements of remaining alive.
3. DO YOU NEED WATER?
If yes, find some.
Wells are useful.
They should be visited.
Not merely pointed at while running past them.
4. ARE YOU LOSING BLOOD?
If yes, deal with the problem.
Preferably before beginning another unnecessary confrontation.
5. IS YOUR HEALTH DANGEROUSLY LOW?
If yes, perhaps don't investigate the suspicious gunfire.
Or the strange figure.
Or the unexplained movement in the trees.
Or whatever else has suddenly attracted your attention.
Five simple questions.
Five opportunities to avoid a completely preventable disaster.
Unfortunately, the checklist has one significant flaw.
IT REQUIRES SOMEBODY TO ACTUALLY FOLLOW IT.
The Society has attempted to introduce the procedure to Bob.
Results remain inconclusive.
He was apparently busy running somewhere.
THE COMMUNITY HAS LEARNED.
One of the more remarkable achievements of Bob's survival philosophy is its educational value.
By repeatedly demonstrating what happens when essential needs are ignored, he has provided the community with an extensive collection of practical examples.
Some involve starvation.
Some involve dehydration.
Some involve cold weather.
Some involve injuries.
And some involve several of these problems occurring simultaneously while Bob explains why everything should be fine.
The Bellends watch.
They observe.
They offer advice.
They occasionally become concerned.
And they learn.
Not necessarily because Bob is providing formal instruction.
But because his experiences demonstrate the consequences of ignoring the most obvious warnings imaginable.
IT IS EDUCATION THROUGH OBSERVED DISASTER.
And the Society considers it surprisingly effective.
THE DESIGN.
The front features the familiar DONT BOB message in white lettering, accompanied by five DayZ-inspired survival indicators.
A blue temperature symbol.
A red food indicator.
A red hydration indicator.
A red blood indicator.
And a red health symbol.
A simple arrangement.
Clean.
Recognisable.
And deeply concerning to anyone familiar with DayZ.
To another survivor, the icons communicate a character in serious trouble.
To a Bellend, however, they represent something more specific.
Bob.
Cold.
Hungry.
Thirsty.
Injured.
Nearly dead.
And still convinced that the next questionable decision is an excellent idea.
THE FIVE ICONS OF OPTIMISM.
Because apparently, confidence is the only survival indicator that never runs out.
THE WEARABLE WARNING.
The classic unisex hoodie provides comfortable everyday warmth with a soft fleece interior, making it ideal for cooler weather, gaming sessions and watching Bob ignore the very survival requirements that the design celebrates.
The double-lined hood provides additional warmth and comfort.
Particularly useful for anybody who has learned from Bob's temperature-related difficulties.
The front pouch pocket is ideal for everyday essentials.
Keys.
Phone.
Snacks.
Perhaps something to drink.
And ideally a small reminder to check that you've eaten before beginning a completely unnecessary adventure.
The design is clean and understated, making it suitable for everyday wear while carrying an entire history of survival-related incompetence.
Perfect for Bellends, Elk's community, DayZ enthusiasts and anyone who has ever watched a streamer ignore several glaring warning indicators while continuing to insist that everything is under control.
THE FINAL SURVIVAL REPORT.
The LHS has completed its assessment.
The temperature indicator is blue.
The food indicator is red.
The hydration indicator is red.
The blood indicator is red.
The health indicator is red.
And Bob has just announced that he's going to investigate something suspicious.
The Society strongly recommends reconsideration.
Bob has not acknowledged the recommendation.
He is already running.
DONT BOB.
Eat something.
Drink some water.
Stay warm.
Look after yourself.
And perhaps stop treating basic survival as an optional side quest.
Do what Bob doesn't.
Product Details
This classic unisex hoodie features the familiar DONT BOB design, combining white lettering with five coloured DayZ-inspired survival status indicators.
The symbols represent temperature, food, hydration, blood and health, highlighting Bob's famously questionable approach to maintaining his character's basic needs.
The design celebrates the community warning inspired by Bob's adventures, including Elk's !dontbob stream command.
The classic unisex fit and soft fleece interior provide comfortable everyday wear, while the double-lined hood offers additional warmth during cooler weather.
The front pouch pocket offers convenient storage for everyday essentials, although carrying food and water is strongly recommended.
Perfect for Bellends, DayZ survivors, Elk's community, gaming enthusiasts and anyone who understands that checking your status indicators is usually preferable to becoming another avoidable survival incident.
Five warning signs. One simple message. Do what Bob doesn't.
Disclaimers
Wearing this hoodie does not automatically improve your survival skills.
It does not provide food.
It does not provide drinking water.
It does not restore blood.
It does not regenerate health.
It does not eliminate the effects of cold weather.
And it certainly does not guarantee that Bob will remember to eat before running towards another completely unnecessary problem.
The survival indicators are decorative gaming-inspired artwork and do not monitor the wearer's actual physical condition.
The blue temperature symbol is not a working thermometer.
The red food indicator contains no emergency calories.
The hydration indicator does not dispense drinking water.
The blood symbol is not a medical device.
And the health indicator cannot determine whether you're about to make an exceptionally poor decision.
The phrase DONT BOB is a community joke and not professional medical advice, survival training or a guarantee that copying Bob will always end badly.
This product does not include food, water, medical supplies, blood bags, bandages, emergency equipment, successful navigation or immunity from unexpected Tuesdays.
The soft fleece interior provides warmth, not protection against serious exposure.
The hood does not replace appropriate weather protection.
The pouch pocket is not an approved emergency medical kit.
The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for ignored warnings, preventable freshie deaths, missed meals, unnecessary confrontations, questionable survival decisions or anybody shouting "DONT BOB" at complete strangers.
Due to fabric properties, a White colour variant, if offered, may appear slightly off-white rather than bright white.
Do not use this hoodie as a substitute for proper weather protection in hazardous conditions.
Do not attempt to treat the blood or health symbols with actual medical supplies.
Do not assume that wearing the design qualifies you to provide survival training.
And please remember that actual hunger, dehydration, illness or injury should be addressed rather than ignored.
The indicators are decorative.
The warning is cultural.
The responsibility to remain alive is still yours.
Made to Order
This hoodie is made especially for you once your order is placed.
Unlike Bob's survival preparation, which occasionally appears to begin only after several indicators have turned red, production follows an established process.
Making products on demand rather than in bulk helps reduce overproduction and unnecessary waste.
This may mean a little more production time, but it also means we don't keep warehouses full of hoodies warning people to eat something while Bob continues forgetting to do exactly that.
Thank you for making a thoughtful purchasing decision.
The Livonia Historical Society approves.
Although it would also like to know whether you've had anything to drink today.
