Q: How did Trapped Out Apparel begin?

Trapped Out Apparel was established in December 2020 in
Aiken, SC by Shamol Thomas, known as Molly Mol.

Driven by the desire to break away from
the 9-5, Mol knew he wanted more and began searching for a way to turn his
passion into something bigger. With a natural interest in getting fresh, he
used that as the foundation to build his own clothing brand.

Q: What did the early days look like?

The journey started in the back room of Shamol’s great-grandma’s
home in Aiken, SC where a full workspace was set up, creating pieces himself using press machines.

He began with t-shirts and later expanded into hoodie suits, putting in long nights and early mornings to build the brand from the ground
up.

As a one-man operation, Shamol handled everything- from designing and production to researching vendors and figuring out what worked and didn’t work.

Shamol traveled state to state attending pop-up shops to get the brand in front
of people and build recognition. What started in a small space has grown into a
worldwide brand now featured in stores and built on consistency, determination
and vision.
