Matt and Jeff started our little shirt company out of their apartment in Seattle's Fremont neighborhood after checking out many local t-shirt companies who frequently sold their wears at farmer's markets. Like many great ideas, ours started out with a "we can do better" attitude.

In , we launched our first collection of designs online and at our semi-permanent spot 11 at the Fremont Farmer's Market. In early , due to a lack of creative control, we bought our first screen printing press and rented a square foot studio space in Seattle's SODO neighborhood and began printing our own tees. With no windows or ventilation, we sweated through our first summer producing new designs every couple of weeks.

We opened a custom print shop Choke Print Shop and began printing tees for local customers who found our google listing and website. In , Jeff left his full-time job at Starbucks Corporate to manage the increasingly busy Print Shop. We took on as many jobs as we could find.

At first we delivered most orders to our customers around Seattle, since our studio was admittedly, really awkward to find. That summer we participated in our first outdoor festivals, selling our shirts just about every weekend in a new location around town. Growing quickly, we hired our first employee. At the end of , we moved into an amazing 1, square foot space just east of Qwest and Safeco Fields in Seattle. We took with us the largest Choke collection to date and a slew of customers who continued to support us.

As our online sales grew, we decided to branch out of the weekend markets and festivals and begin the process of finding retailers to sell our wears. After attending the Seattle Gift Show, we came away with several new retail outlets who believed that our tees were worthy of their empty hangers.

All the while our Print Shop continued to grow. We hired our second employee: Brian. He brought with him an eye for design and a quick sense of humor.
