Family × Discipline × Adventure

I'm Vang. Dad comes first.
I'm Vang Thao, founder of DAD READY CO. in Chico, California. Being a dad is at the heart of why I started this brand. My kids remind me every day that the moments we share and the example we set are what matter most.
To me, being Dad Ready means showing up: working hard, putting family first, and making time for adventure. Whether we're outdoors making memories or handling everyday responsibilities, I want to lead with discipline, stay ready, and build a legacy my kids can be proud of.
Built for everyday dads.
I created DAD READY CO. for dads who carry that same mindset into family, work, and the outdoors. From a regular workday to a weekend camping trip, our hats and apparel are a way to wear what we stand for.
This brand is my way of celebrating fatherhood and connecting with other dads who keep showing up. Thank you for supporting my small business and being part of the DAD READY CO. story.
ALWAYS READY. ALWAYS DAD.
