Stitch it on the left chest of a cotton twill polo at 4 inches and it sits perfectly, not too small to read, not so big it takes over the whole front. The block letters spell out DAD in that old-school varsity style, the kind with a thick satin body and a slightly darker outline so you get that 3D look stitched right into the fabric. Below that, \"EST 2026\" in neat caps, and the whole thing wrapped in a laurel wreath with three small stars and a big five-point star at the base. Its alot more detailed than it looks at first glance, and thats what I like about it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe colour work is all warm taupe and sand, which means it reads well on cream, navy, denim, fleece, and pretty much any mid-tone fabric without clashing. Density sits at 557 stitches per square centimetre, so theres enough coverage that the satin letters have a proper solid look when you've hooped tight with cutaway stabiliser underneath. Use a medium topping on anything with texture, terry cloth especially, just to keep the lettering crisp. A guy in my town ordered one last week for his brother whose first kid is due in August, he'd put it on a khaki canvas cap and it turned out realy well. Iron the fabric flat before you hoop it on denim, the directional stitching in those wreath leaves needs a smooth base or you'll get gaps around the stems. Pop it onto a fleece hoodie pocket aswell and it's just as happy there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePing me if the outline wont sit clean.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46429342892182,"sku":null,"price":3.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/DadEst2026EmbroideryDesign.png?v=1782127735","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/dad-est-2026","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
