The Story behind the DadWare Bondaroo!
Dawn, Nick’s wife gave birth to their first child Eva. They had everything prepared for the arrival of their newborn, attending classes, and reading books. They knew about the importance of skin to skin bonding i.e., Kangaroo Care. Due to a complicated delivery, the nurse could not place her daughter on Eva’s chest. Seeing his wife upset, Nick swooped right in ripped off his shirt, and cradled his daughter on his chest.
He continued the skin to skin bonding at home but he was not comfortable going shirtless all the time. After an awkward run-in with the Amazon delivery guy, he decided to change things. He cut off his old t-shirts at the front with big holes. They did not serve the purpose and his wife was not keen on the look either. He created different designs of shirts that opened at the front until he finally designed Bondaroo. Nick and Dawn got a trademark for the name DadWare and secured a US utility patent for the shirt.
