The Story Behind
The Attitude
Federated Tease was born out of a simple observation: most t-shirts are boring as hell. Generic slogans. Played-out designs. Stuff your coworker wears to "casual Friday" while still being painfully corporate.
We're the antidote to that. Based out of Pahrump, Nevada — a town that doesn't apologize for being itself — Federated Tease makes shirts for people who've given up pretending to be nice. People who say what everyone else is thinking. People who'd rather be honest than polite.
Founded by Carrie Nichols, a woman who believes life is too short for boring clothes and forced small talk. Every design is crafted to make strangers either laugh or clutch their pearls. Sometimes both.
Our shirts aren't for everyone. That's the point.
Unapologetically Bold
If it doesn't make someone uncomfortable, it's not edgy enough.
Humor First
Every design starts with a punchline. The shirt is just the delivery mechanism.
Quality You Can Feel
Premium cotton, because being edgy shouldn't mean being itchy.
We don't do bland. We don't do boring.
We do bold.
