This version of Reel Cool Dad is built around the lettering rather than a graphic, so its cleaner and sits better on structured items like caps and polos. Two colour build, dark and light, with the lettering doing the heavy lifting. Density at 421. Five sizes, stitches go from 7,767 on the 2.71 inch small end up to 18,649 at 6.32 inches wide.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
