AVG. DAD Drop #001 · 100 hats
Dad hats for the dad shift.

Normal Dudes. Great Dads.

Average Dad is a hat brand for the guys doing school drop-offs, garage projects, and on their third cup of coffee that's gone cold. Premium hats. Built for the shift. Drop #001 lands soon — and it's limited.

No spam. Just one good email a week and first dibs on the drop.

What this is

A hat for the average dad.

On the shift today No clock out
  • The dad changing his first diaper — or his own, after getting stuck napping with the kid for two hours.

  • The dad who refuses to read instruction manuals, and never regrets it.

  • The dad with a system for loading the dishwasher nobody else is allowed to touch.

  • The dad finishing his kid's mac-n-cheese and calling it dinner.

  • The dad who still watches his old highlight film — and his kids aren't impressed.

Normal dudes. Great dads.

Premium hats. No shortcuts.

Quality materials and embroidery that doesn't peel off in the wash — guaranteed. The exact style's still being finalized, because I'm not rushing something you'll wear every day just to hit a launch date.

Limited first run

Drop #001 is 100 hats. When they're gone, they're gone.

Built by an actual dad

Not a merch farm. One guy in Oklahoma who loves hats and his kiddo — in that order on bad days.

Fair questions

The FAQ

When does Drop #001 launch?

Soon. Everyone on this list gets the exact date before the public does. That's kind of the whole deal.

How much are the hats?

Less than a tank of gas. Lasts a lot longer, and it never asks "are we there yet."

What if I'm not a dad?

Dads-in-progress, granddads, dog dads, and people buying gifts for dads are all welcome. We don't check ID.

Is the quality actually good?

It's the hat I wanted to wear myself and couldn't find anywhere else. Premium materials, clean embroidery, no cut corners. If you don't love it, send it back.
