Personalized Dad Est. Year Embroidered Sweatshirt Design Details
The chest embroidery measures approximately 24cm x 18cm and uses 6 thread colors for a soft, detailed finish. The design features oversized DAD block lettering with a soft pink dotted fill and dark navy outline, framing an original faceless illustration of a dad seen from behind with a little child sitting on his shoulders. Below the portrait, “Est. 2023” marks the year he became Dad, making this more than a cute embroidered sweatshirt—it is a wearable milestone. The dusty blue sweatshirt shown gives the navy, pink, white, medium blue, and beige thread palette a gentle Father’s Day feel, while the artwork also suits soft neutral and pastel garment colors. For an extra personal touch, add his child’s name or a short tiny quote embroidered on the sleeve for +$5.
