The Dad T-Shirts Store

Last year, with my family’s support — helping me when they could, and leaving me alone to work when I needed the time — I added the t-shirt store to this website. This was a big and exciting step for us, but a rather obvious one, really. I mean, adding dad t-shirts to a website for my dad blog is a no-brainer. It was one of those things that we wonder, “What took us so long to do this?”

Designing dad t-shirts is just so dang fun, too. And then having people comment on my t-shirts when they see me wearing one is almost as exciting as selling one.

Speaking of selling the t-shirts, this has been our best selling design so far:

I rather like it myself, and wear mine fairly often. For a little piece of trivia, that minivan in the design is drawn from our family’s actual minivan.

That hero standing in front of the minivan in the t-shirt design, is that me you may wonder? You be the judge:

. . .

Naw, it ain’t me. I’m just a dad, geek, and good ol’ boy; I’m no superhero. The closest I’ve come to mutating a power from radiation is keeping a farmer’s tan even into the winter.

Anyway.

Our t-shirt store is growing. We’re marketing, we’re selling, and we’re building, (virtually, electronically). And we’ve discovered an unexpected fact about selling dad t-shirts: it’s the ladies who are buying them. By a margin of 2-1, women are buying these shirts more than men. Presumably, their buying for their men, but who knows, maybe these t-shirt designs are more unisex than I thought.

I’m looking forward to this new year. More dad blogging, more dad t-shirts, more work, more play. We have a lot of fun and effort ahead of us, and we’re ready to go. I expect 2012 to be a glorious year.

Thank you very much for visiting and reading and shopping.
