On Volume 4.
Normally i wouldn't give a shit about clothing sponsors but Altamont is one of the few clothing companies i back and exclusively buy. Sure hope they aren't going out of business. That only leaves Reynolds, Herman and Neen left. Crazy to think they use to have a really stacked team.

Hopefully this means no more overalls for Altamont :D I'm actually good with this move as I'm sure it will be better for the skaters and hopefully it will mean Altamont will go back to making shit like they did the first few seasons when I loved their stuff. Last couple years has been hit or miss.

Vol 4 could possibly be the worst most unoriginal name anyone could come up with for a clothing company. Yeah, listen to Sabbath and then name a company after one of their albums, then copy the exact same font and slap it on a shirt and charge $30. Real creative. Don't get me wrong, Baca and all those dude's are sick skaters, but the name is whack.

I love the name, sabbath rules, you suck.

Dickson is really banking on the quasi bear manly man look/vibe. He should use a different method for coffee brewing and pouring, such as, the way Chet did it in the beginning of his Chronicles 1 part.
Skip to :41 for example of proper manly man coffee brewing/pouring.

''Cut from a different cloth"
Now it's as hipster as it can get.. They don't even need a team anymore anyways. The team was tight back than:
Garrett Hill, Kenny Hoyle, Reynolds, Herman, Slash, Figgy, Baca, Beasley...
The Clothing too. I still have some rad stuff from their good days.
Since the logo is a shitty triangle to me it has been dead since. I call it goes down or is already down.
-
I think the current team is Neen, Reynolds, Herman, Lay and Maatman.

Going through their site tells me that they've used "cut from a different cloth" since the beginning so your memory must be failing you. All the Fos inspired typography and logos are still there too, it's just that not everyone wants to look like a mall goth anymore:

Altamont makes quality shirts, and they fit right. It's funny that people will just change their style on the drop of a hat because their favorite pro did.
"Oh, it's not cool anymore, cant wear it"
-
i bought a bunch of their shit off excesshype for 85% off and i gotta say, it fits me better than most shit i own.
also where in the world is kenny hoyle
-
What pisses me off about altamont is that they remove products and replace them with options that aren't similar at all. ie ... I used to love the cut of Hermans signature jean, it was all I bought while they were around, then they took them away and none of the new ones have the same cut. I did just find one through the excesshype sale that I like but then I hit the altamont site and they only have one pair of them on sale so I'm assuming they are pulling that one as well. And as said, the tee's are quality but they need more plain options and the long sleeve stuff is hit or miss fit wise. Every jacket I've had from them I loved though.
-
I love my Davis Slims, but I dunno if they can withstand engine exhaust as well as these pants.

Have sooo many pairs. Their color choices have slowly gotten to be pretty wack though.

I missed those or blocked them from my memory so I looked them up

Why'd you have to share >:( haha. I still can't believe they cut Herman's sig jeans and then dropped fucking overalls

Hell yeah. Way to reroute this thread in a good direction.
I've never bought Altamont, but if they put Hoyle back on I might. Probably not, but I would be happy about it. Put Chris Troy on too, and you've got a goddamn deal though. Cool that Ryan Lay is on. Random as fuck, but cool nonetheless.
-
I can't remember where, but I thought I read somewhere a long time ago that Altamont was going out of business or at least just becoming a lifestyle brand. Then when I saw these not too long ago in a shop I figured they 86'd the skate division.

You are correct. I dont think they have a "skate team" so much anymore, just pieces by different people here and there. This was a couple years back.

So good. I always thought it was sick he was on Altamont, seemed like an interesting fit, but it worked.

Chet Childress: Camp Life (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNd9_USn2lI#) Chet knows how to brew coffee. I got stoked on this video cause I use the same coffee grinder as him.
