CLE Clothing Co. was founded in 2008 by two lifelong friends. One, a graphic designer, had always dreamed of starting a t-shirt company. The other, an entrepreneur, was looking for a fun new opportunity. One fateful night over some beers, chili, and burgers at one of their favorite spots, Whitey’s in Richfield, Ohio, the guys decided to put their money where their mouth was and came up with a plan. They purchased a screen printing press, some blank t-shirts, and got to work on a couple of designs. CLE Clothing was born. CLE Clothing Co. has come a long way – from the 2 founders in the early days to now employing 50 Clevelanders between the 6 stores and online «wear-house». We have locations at Crocker Park, Summit Mall and The Van Aken District in Shaker Heights.

Mike K.
Business Owner
A graphic designer turned entrepreneur, CLE Clothing started as a creative outlet from my day job. It was a «side-hustle» / hobby for me. Over the years as the brand grew and as we opened up our flagship store in downtown Cleveland, I was able to leave my day job and strike out on my own. I now run the business with my wife, Laura. She is our COO and handles all store operations, while I handle all creative and marketing efforts. We have two little boys which makes us truly a «mom & pop» shop. We come to work everyday to spread the pride of the city we love.
