Fear the Ambush Limited Edition - Women's Boxy Tee

Every shirt sold helps me pay back my dad — and proves that family is worth fighting for.

⏰ PRE-ORDER BY OCTOBER 31 — This is a limited edition. Once pre-orders close, this design is done.

Why This Shirt Exists

On May 11, 2019, my dad was rear-ended at 65 mph while picking up ice for my wedding. He walked out of the hospital — against doctor's orders — to walk me down the aisle.

A year later, he handed me a check for $50,000 from his injury settlement. It was everything he had. He believed in my dream before anyone else did.

That money funded a company. Then that company fell apart — and the money went with it.

Now I'm building something new. And I'm paying him back. This shirt is the first step.

The Design

A group of tigers is called an ambush. This shirt is about strength in numbers. About family showing up when it matters.

The Japanese-inspired tigers and camellias represent resilience, beauty, and the people who stand beside you.

The back carries the ambush. The front carries the mark.
