GEAR GUIDE

Must Have Gear for Dads

DadGang Co. is a company that was established out a fun idea between a group of dads. We would share stories of what it's like being a dad and usually end the conversation with the term DadGang. So we made some hats!

We started with just 100 hats and those sold out in less than 36 hours. We thought it was a fluke so we made more and they sold out again. We kept going until we sold over 15,000 hats in one year.

Now we have a full collection of DadGang hats and growing the brand one step at a time with the support of an amazing community.
