Dungeons and Daddies pins and patches for your adventure bag

Q: How do I keep my pins from falling off my bag?

Use locking pin backs (often called 'butterfly clutches with a locking mechanism'). They screw on and won't pop off. The official store includes these with every pin.

Level up your gear with the best Dungeons and Daddies pins and patches. We break down top designs, styling tips, and where to find limited drops.

Why pins and patches are the perfect accessory for fans

Back in 2019, Dungeons and Daddies fans had limited options to rep the show - maybe a T-shirt or a sticker from a random Etsy shop. Now in 2026, the scene has exploded. Pins and patches have become the go-to way to show your love for the Dads without having to explain every inside joke to strangers. They're small, collectible, and easy to swap out on bags, jackets, or hats.

Pins and patches also let you curate your own Daddies story. Maybe you're a Henry Oak stan who rocks a nature-themed patch, or you can't get enough of Ron's deadpan humor with a "Crotch Goblin" pin. The best part? They're affordable - most pins run $10 to $15, patches around $8 to $12 - so you can build a collection over time.

Top 5 Dungeons and Daddies pin designs you need

The "Roll for Daddy" enamel pin

This is the pin that started it all. A bright gold die with "Roll for Daddy" engraved, it's a nod to the podcast's signature phrase. The enamel work is solid - raised metal lines prevent chipping, and the clasp is a rubber clutch that stays put on denim or canvas. I've had mine on my backpack for two years and it still looks new.

The "Crotch Goblin" limited edition

Ron Stampler's infamous alias gets its own pin: a tiny green goblin with a mischievous grin. Only 500 were made in the first drop, and they sold out in under 6 hours. If you see one on a resale site, expect to pay double the original $15. It's the holy grail for collectors.

Glenn Close's guitar pick

A simple but clever design: a guitar pick with "Close" in lightning script. The metallic silver enamel catches light perfectly. Comes with a locking pin back so it won't fall off during mosh pits at live shows.

Darryl's "Dad Strength" dumbbell

For the Daddies who love Darryl Wilson's gym obsession. This pin is chunky - nearly 2 inches tall - with a textured dumbbell head. It's heavy on a denim jacket, so I recommend a locking back. A fan favorite at the 2025 tour - now restocked for 2026.

Henry Oak's "Photosynthesis" leaf

A soft green leaf with neon yellow veins. Unlike most pins, this one has a matte finish that doesn't reflect glare. Perfect for nature lovers and Henry fans who quote "I'm just a guy trying to photosynthesize."

How to style patches on bags jackets and hats

On backpacks: the canvas rule

Canvas backpacks take iron-on patches best. Iron at medium heat for 30 seconds (no steam), then flip and press the inside. For extra hold, sew a quick stitch around the edge. Avoid nylon bags - the heat can melt them. Instead, use a strong fabric glue like E6000.

On denim jackets: placement matters

Put your biggest patch on the back (like the full "Dungeons and Daddies" crest), then layer smaller patches on the front pockets and sleeves. I've seen fans arrange them in a "dad hierarchy" - Darryl on top, Ron at the bottom. Weirdly fitting.

On hats: stay above the brim

Baseball caps work best with curved brims. Place a patch flat on the front panel, not on the curved sides. Avoid the crown - it buckles and the patch will wrinkle. If you're using a pin on a hat, use a locking back and position it on the front panel's center.

Where to find limited edition Dungeons and Daddies pins

The official Dungeons and Daddies merch store drops new pin designs roughly every two months. Past drops have included character-specific pins (like Glenn's guitar) and seasonal designs (Henry's pumpkin patch for fall 2025). To catch them, follow the store's newsletter - drops usually happen on the first Tuesday of the month at 10 AM PT.

Independent artists also create fan-made pins, often with unique interpretations - like a chibi-style Darryl or a Minimalist hourglass for the podcast's time travel arc. Check Etsy and sites like Redbubble, but verify the seller's reviews first. Some limited-run pins from 2021 now go for $40 on eBay.

For the best selection and reliability, stick with the official store. They use hard enamel with gold plating for most designs, and each pin comes with a backing card featuring the Dad's catchphrase. Prices are consistent at $12 plus shipping.

FAQ

Are Dungeons and Daddies pins made of hard or soft enamel?

Most official pins use hard enamel - it's smoother and more durable than soft enamel. The metal lines are raised, and the enamel is recessed and polished flat.

How do I keep my pins from falling off my bag?

Use locking pin backs (often called "butterfly clutches with a locking mechanism"). They screw on and won't pop off. The official store includes these with every pin.

Do patches come iron-on or sew-on?

Official patches are iron-on with a heat-activated adhesive on the back. For long wear, sewing a few stitches around the edge is recommended.

Can I wash my bag with pins or patches attached?

Hand wash only. Pins can rust if submerged, and iron-on patches may peel in a machine. Spot clean with a damp cloth.

When is the next limited edition pin drop?

Check the official store's newsletter or social media. Drops happen about every 8 weeks, usually on a Tuesday morning. No exact schedule is announced ahead of time.
