Father's Day Gifts Australia
Personalised embroidered Father's Day gifts that dad will actually wear, not lose in the bottom drawer. Made to order in our Melbourne studio on 13 industrial embroidery machines, posted Australia-wide. Australian Father's Day falls on the first Sunday of September - order by mid-August to be safe.
For the dog dad
A portrait of his dog (or cat, or rabbit) stitched onto his hoodie, tee or crewneck. Send us a photo, our art team turns it into a clean line drawing, and one of our 13 industrial Melbourne embroidery machines stitches it on. Most-reordered Father's Day piece across our pet portrait range, year after year.

For the dad of small humans
The drawing his kid brought home from school, embroidered onto his Father's Day hoodie. The wobble is the point. The handwriting too, including any backwards letters. Single colour by default, up to four thread colours if the picture has them.

For the dad with a sense of humour
From the RK Designs collection: Homer in the Bush for the cartoon dad, the Win95 line for the tech dad, AUR NAUR and Chazwazza for the dad who'd happily post on r/Australia, Heinz Baked Beans for the breakfast purist, BOB'S BURGERS for the kids-show dad. Pre-made, ready to ship, no upload needed.
For the dad on a uniform
His business logo, his side hustle's name, his footy team, the boat he's been threatening to buy for a decade. We're the only embroidery company in the world that digitises logos for free - every other studio charges $40 to $80 just to set up the file. Custom embroidery from upload to stitched garment in two weeks, no setup fee at any stage.
Father's Day lead times
Australian Father's Day is the first Sunday of September. Our standard turnaround is two weeks production plus AusPost shipping (1-7 days depending on where you are), so the safest cutoff is mid-August. If you're cutting it fine, email support@rkthreads.com before you order and we'll see what we can do.
Express delivery is available at checkout, which speeds up the post leg but not the production. For genuine rush orders email us first so we can confirm capacity.
Quick questions before you order
What's the latest I can order? Mid-August for safe arrival. We've shipped Father's Day orders in late August when express was paid and we had capacity, but email first.
Can I get it gift-wrapped? Yes - select the gift wrapping option at checkout and we'll wrap the piece so it's ready to give. Add a note in the order if you'd like a specific message included.
Can I return it if dad already has every hoodie? Custom-embroidered items are made to order and can't be returned for change of mind. Returns are only available for faulty items.
Will the mailer say RK Threads on the outside? No, we ship discreetly. The kraft envelope says nothing on the outside, so it won't give away what's inside if dad gets to the mailbox first.
Can I order it now and have it shipped closer to Father's Day? Yes, leave a note in the order asking us to delay dispatch, or email us with the target ship date. We'll hold the finished piece until you say go.
