Surfboard Skull Hoodie
Beach culture meets skull design, now in hoodie form – perfect for post-surf sessions when the water's cold but you're not ready to go home yet. For blokes who love the coast but with a bit of edge. This isn't your typical sunshine-and-rainbows surf hoodie.
Made for coastal blokes, surfers, and anyone who feels most at home near the water but isn't all peace and love about it. If you've got salt in your veins and a bit of attitude, this design keeps you warm while speaking your language.
Quality heavyweight hoodie built for beach life. Drawstring hood protects against sea breeze, kangaroo pocket for warming cold hands after a session, ribbed cuffs and waistband keep the cold out. The 80% cotton and 20% polyester blend is preshrunk and handles sun, salt, and whatever the coast throws at you. Comfortable from dawn patrol to sunset sessions.

Started by Two Blokes Who Couldn't Find Decent Gear
Bad Dad Clothing was started by Brian and Ricky, a father-son duo from Wollongong who got sick of trying to find quality clothes in bigger sizes that didn't cost a fortune or look like rubbish. The reality is, if you're not a size medium and you want something with a decent design, you're either paying through the nose or settling for boring basics. We're not models. We're not Instagram influencers. We're just two regular Aussie blokes who reckon everyone deserves clothing that makes them laugh and actually fits properly. Our shirts are worn by real dads - the ones at footy games, fish and chip shops, and backyard BBQs. If you're looking for six-pack abs and perfect lighting, we're not your brand. But if you want quality Australian slang apparel in sizes that actually fit real blokes? Welcome to the flock.
Made by Us, For Blokes Like Us
Every single shirt that leaves our Wollongong workshop is printed by us using Direct-to-Garment (DTG) printing. Not some faceless factory overseas. Not some dropshipping warehouse just us right here in the Gong. We design the graphics, we source the blanks, we print every shirt ourselves, and we pack every order. Each shirt is printed to order - no warehouses full of stock, no waste, just what you need when you need it. We're not trying to be the biggest clothing brand in Australia. We're happy being the brand that makes you smile when you put the shirt on, and makes your mates laugh when they see it at the pub. Life's too short to take seriously. Now go buy a shirt and tell your mates about us.
