Perfect gift for the pickleball dad. The vintage sports badge design is really well done and the shirt quality is much better than I expected for the price. Dad approved!
Bought this for my dad in extra large. The fit was right and the material feels durable. Only knocked off a star because shipping took a few extra days but worth the wait.
Quality shirt. I'm a pickleball dad of three and this shirt speaks to me. Print is crisp, fabric is comfortable, and it survives the wash perfectly.
Surprised my dad with this for his birthday. He's been playing pickleball for about a year and was thrilled. The crest design gives it a classic varsity look.
My dad practically lives in this shirt now. He says the cotton is really soft and the print hasn't faded after multiple washes. Great Father's Day gift.
