Dad Est. 2026 Pocket Badge Design Details

The Dad Est. 2026 Pocket Badge is stitched on a forest green sweatshirt with a compact vintage chest-badge layout measuring approximately 20cm x 18cm. The main embroidery reads “DAD” in clean block lettering, with “EST. 2026” tucked neatly underneath and small stars framing the established year. A tiny mustache icon above the lettering gives the design a classic dadcore feel while keeping it subtle enough for everyday outfits. The five-thread palette uses vintage cream, faded orange, warm brown, forest green, and black for a warm retro look that pairs naturally with jeans, joggers, or casual weekend layers. A small child name can be added beneath the badge, and every apparel option can also include a custom name or short quote embroidered on the sleeve for +$5.
