About Choke Shirt Company / Towne 9

Choke Shirt Company is a brand born within Seattle’s Fremont neighborhood. Starting as an apartment-based operation in 2008, Jeff began by selling his wares through two avenues- the internet and the Fremont Farmer’s Market. Their approach to the company was to create memorable designs on quality products that stood out among the crowd. By early 2009, the Choke operation outgrew its home in Fremont and relocated to Seattle’s SODO neighborhood to a new studio space and their first printing press. Being able to print the designs himself allowed for greater creative freedoms within the line of production and allowed Choke to develop their custom print shop (Choke Print Shop). Eventually growing outside of only apparel, Jeff created a second brand or gifts and accessories called Towne9. While supporting himself and his passion, Jeff is now able to create unique designs that also supported other local businesses and organizations.Read their story
