Personalized Custom Bonus Dad Shirt with Your Family Photo – Vintage Photo Tee

The bonus dad shirt is a custom family photo tee, long sleeve, crewneck or hoodie that gives him the credit he’s earned: BONUS in tall white letters, a black and white picture of him with the kids, and DAD across the bottom.

It’s for stepdads, and for an adoption day that makes it official.

Upload the kids’ photo

When do families give a bonus dad shirt?

Usually it’s his wife, letting the kids choose his Father’s Day gift on their own for the first time. He’s the stepdad who ran beside the bike without being asked, and the kids want a word for him that isn’t his first name.

• Father’s Day
• Wedding
• Birthday
• Family reunion

Start his bonus dad tee

It’s the kind of gift that makes a grown man go quiet at the table, even the ones who swear they don’t want anything.

The driveway moment

The sample photo is a classic: a man jogging beside a boy in a helmet who is pedaling as hard as he can, while a little sister claps from the sidewalk.

Your picture can be him coaching, fishing, flipping pancakes, or asleep on the couch with the kids sprawled on top of him. We print it in black and white for a vintage dad tee look.

Making it yours

1. Choose his garment and size: tee, long sleeve, crewneck sweatshirt or hoodie.
2. Pick a shirt color.
3. Upload your family photo. It takes the sample’s place.
4. Add crop notes. Example: driveway bike photo, keep both kids.

A way for the kids to call him what he is

• Father’s Day cards for stepdads are hard to find and harder to read
• He swears he doesn’t want anything, then gets another grill tool
• Kids aren’t sure how to tell him what he means to them

Stepdads rarely ask to be called dad, which is exactly why hearing it matters. BONUS and DAD in tall white letters frame a black and white photo of him with the kids, so the driveway bike run or the pancake flip reads like an old family snapshot.

BONUS DAD stays as printed. Building a pair? Our bonus mom family photo shirt matches it.

His size and fabric

The Comfort Colors 1717 tee is 6.1 oz garment-dyed cotton, all ring-spun, with a relaxed unisex fit from S to 4XL.

If he runs cold, the 1566 crewneck (S to 3XL) and the 1567 hoodie (S to 2XL) come in 80/20 cotton-poly fleece; the hoodie is preshrunk and has a lined hood, matching drawcord and pouch pocket.

True size is relaxed on those three, and going up one or two gives an oversized fit. See the size chart. Coaching Saturday soccer in October, he might like the Comfort Colors 6014 long sleeve, S to 3XL.

Youth and toddler sizes are listed as well, with the Comfort Colors 9018 youth tee in XS to XL and the Rabbit Skins 3326 toddler hoodie in 2T to 5/6T.

Each shirt gets printed by DTF or DTG depending on the garment and goes out from the USA. Allow 1 to 3 business days for production and 3 to 5 business days for USPS with tracking. Christmas orders need to be placed by December 5, 2026.
