Is anyone left on Altamont? I remember a thread a while ago talking about it's glory days to now.. real shame

Saw a bunch of posts of him at RVCA offices a few days ago, kind of weird. Haven't bought altamont stuff in years, alamedas use to be my favorite

Same.. and the 3 pack tshirts I used to live in. Fuck I even bought the shoelace belts at one time... ugh haha
Always weird when someone that WAS the brand leaves for something else... isn't it something like you need to see something 15 times naturally before it becomes familiar again?
RVCA better get their insta spamming on
When Daewon got on adidas, at first it was of course a bit of a woah moment as he was DVS... but seeing him in the shoes for a bit now, actually getting to go on a trip with him and speak to him, now I see it and it just makes sense.
Not really a revelation here... see something long enough and it'll seem familiar haha

Altamont hasnt been doing well in a long time....

I thought he was just on Emerica clothing. RVCA seems kind of odd.

They had said that but then PAS bought it out of sole tech or something.

I bought a pair of RVCA Leo Romero jeans at Salvation Army the other day. Never owned any of their clothes, but the jeans are super comfy and fit well. If Reynolds brings a similar Altamont influence to the brand I'd be down to wear them more.
rip in peace Davis Slims tho.

Og Altamont was the shit great team and image

It was about time, everyone else went to Volume 4 and I assumed that the boss will joined his own brand once altamont faded out.
According to the website Neen Williams is the only rider, but I think that Ryan Lay was riding for them.
I got some Altamont gear and I really like them, the Reynolds pants were amazing

Drew should go back to kr3w bring back the ar slims I don't even wear tight pants but I would again

Definitely, and they had sick, good quality product to back it up. I've had tons of their stuff and I still wear a t-shirt from 2008. I've always liked Altamont but just recently I realized their team is full of hi-waters wearing WKND teens who wear ugly clothes and who I have no interest in whatsoever. No more Herman and now even Reynolds gone, fuck it.

I loved reynolds altamont Pico jean, i bought like 30 pairs in their existence, then the skinny jeans fad got old.
Most of RVCAs stuff feels cheap and is the go to for surf bros but they make a good heavy weight pocket tee that i swear by.
Good move for Reynolds now just get rid of caples and show me doubles of fletcher and reynolds

How do you go thru 30 pairs of pants???
I'm still wearing Jeans I purchased like 8 years ago - Levis 501's tho.

Probably the buckest thing ever was altamont releasing the jeans with the roach clip, they might've been the Hermans, I kept one on my Krew Ars at all times just in case..

Over time, the ass of the jeans + sitting on griptape got the better of me and the quality diminished hard after a while

It always seemed like Altamont should have became bigger than it did. They had the right creative direction and hippyish influence to draw from, the right riders to match something unique (eg: dickson = overalls, slash = flannel/wool jackets etc), but I don't really remember them ever evolving their customer base outside of the skate demographic. Which to me signifies some success, when you see non-skaters wearing skate product.
Choosing the historic Altamont festival as their muse always confused me a little bit too. Along with the manson murders, wasn't that suppose to be a negative turning point/blemish in the hippy counterculture of the late 60's/early 70's? Oh well. When ever I'm down and need some compliments, I just throw on my old altamont hoodie. Does the trick most of the time...

Anybody remember a skate apparel brand named "Comune", like 5-6 years ago? What happened to them? They had cool pants.

Yeah they were cool, gary stehr, nuge, partanen were all involved at one point. Its still around just doesnt have anything to do with skateboarding anymore i think

I still have some Altamont gear in the plastic bags from when some site had a crazy sale a few years back. Tees were like $1.99. I thought they were done then. OG RVCA was pretty sick. Spanky, Leo, Ed, good designs. Wasn't it originally some type of, "Art collective?"

I think this may have been the problem why they didnt succeed. The were targeting a group of people who like the vintage / thrift store look but that clientele they were going after doesnt want to spend $75 on a pair of jeans or $65 for a flannel. That demographic would rather go to the local thrift store and find the "style" of clothes for $5, $10, $15 dollars.
I was a big supporter of the brand. A bunch of years ago i managed a shop and did all the ordering for the store. I was always hyped when the catalogs came out. In the beginning the catalogs used to always come with a vinyl record which i always thought was dope. I always ordered their stuff but a lot of it didnt sell just based on price point. In Canada, a t-shirt would be $40 bucks as compared to other brands at $25 to $30 range.
Its too bad. I was so hyped on them and their team and slowly watched rider after rider leave.
-
When they discontinued Herman's jeans and added overalls was pretty much when I stopped buying altamont. Prior to that almost everything I had was altamont, after there were just a couple pieces I purchased.

i worked at a skateshop for a couple months when altamont came out and i think i somewhere have a catalog with the vinyl record left- maybe at my mums place? still own a bunch of shirts and stuff- flannels/ button down shirts used to be hand numbered on the first few runs!
and yeah, when altamont came out the style and team was the sickest

Not sure, I remember toward the end of Cory Kennedy being on it he started wearing their UFC gear as a joke, which was shocking that this company was involved in that shit at all.
And yes, they still sponsor both artists and MMA fighters.

i will cherish my 2009 Davis Straight Leg pants (NOT THE FUCKING SLIMS) until they fall apart.
they were truly the best pants ever... if anyone has any, seriously PM me.

I had/still have this strange feeling that RVCA is going under?
Their LA store on Fairfax isn't there anymore, I really don't see RVCA unless I'm lollygagging at a Marshalls or a TJ Maxx and the occasional surf shop, but other then that I haven't really seen them anywhere.
Maybe they're using Reynolds to jump start the brand again?
-
I don't know if any Australian pals can confirm but isn't RVCA huge in a different way out there. They push the MMA thing.
-
RVCA down here sucks, the clothing is completely different and fits weird. Got a pair of pants from skateware house and found the same down here on their aus site, couldnt have been a more different fit if they tried.
Haven't seen much of the MMA portion, but then i avoid those kind of people anyway

Forgive the dumb question but does Altamont the clothing company have any relation to the Altamont that bought Girl? It always confuses me when the name comes up.

It's quite possible that someone simply owns the rights to produce clothing under the RVCA brand name without any of it being approved or designed by RVCA. The same thing used to happen with Zoo York stuff back in the day in Australia.

We had Zoo York clothes in a Finnish hypermarket chain here last summer. They even advertised that on TV. I found it pretty hilarious.
On RVCA, the whole MMA thing really puts me off them. Just something I really do not want to support. I've been kinda looking for a less corporate alternative to Volcom, but haven't really found anything that tickles my fancy. I guess I just like Volcom too much even though they sold out a while back. Would love to see some company step up to the same level of cool as Volcom has been to me since I was a kid. :-[

A lot of brands have licensing deals with people in foreign countries. they produce the goods in that country (designs get approved by the actual brand) so that there isn't the inflated cost from shipping from the States to a foreign country, as well as customs fees, etc. That shit can get pricey. That's why you can buy the same product basically, but get very different materials/quality etc. They may not have access to the same shirt/denim manufacturers, that there is here.

To be fair, Remy Stratton has been running the Skate Dept since the beginning and honestly not much has changed.

Sure, our company ownership has changed hands but it's actually helped us create better products and on a larger scale. Not even that corpo around the office.
Bossman actually came to us first, he kept in touch after we filmed the Dollin skit for Holy Stokes! but we just simply couldn't match what RVCA was offering him. Tough to fit him in the budget when you got 19 other riders on the payroll. :-[

I'd rather watch Antuwan fight randoms at 711s than MMA.
Volcom rep dude that sucks about bossman. That would've been great to have him on the team.

i still back Volcom. Remy is a fuckin rad dude/skater, and any piece of their stuff I've ever had was good quality. A lot of the stuff can have big stone logos (which i won't wear), but the jeans were always good and I have a volcomxspitfire jacket that has one tiny tag with a spitfire head/volcom stone that's literally less than an inch.

That's nice to hear, but I'm kind of a victim of consumerism but with communist thoughts, so something about big corporations just doesn't sit right with me. Still not hating on Volcom but would like you guys a lot better if you weren't a part of some lame luxury goods holding company. I just got a whole bunch of Volcom stuff in the mail. :-*

We're working on Canada, it's just the way it works out on the business side, we just recently made it it's own separate entity so we've got plans to do bigger things.
We hook up Mikey Ray out of BC and Jayden Bono out of Toronto. We filmed parts of Holy Stokes! in Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa and Vancouver. Also support King Shit Mag and sponsored the Empire games the past couple years not to mention making at least one stop of our Wild in the Parks series in Canada for the 10 years it was around.
Who in Canada should we hook up? What other events should we get involved in??

I agree that Volcom hasn't done much for the Canadian side. I work in a skateshop and in the past few years, we've never got a volcom promo or anything for the staff. One of our team riders gets package time to time from volcom, although in the shop we only get crap samples.
We've never received any P.O.P or pairs of jeans for the staff, which I think would be key as it might help us sell more of your product if we get the chance to try it out.
Brands like Vans are handling the canadian scene as whole way better by supporting all events both big and small, ensuring that all riders who needs shoes get shoes and making sure all shop members get footwear to try out.
I do have more to say @the dude behind the volcom slap acc.

What is your problem with Goodwill?
Their entire stock is made up of free donations and they have a millionaire CEO, pay their workers less than minimum wage and give basically nothing in charity.

Ten years ago Volcom was important to me. Nowadays I just cant...I miss the Appleyard jean and this vibe:
(http://skately.com/img/library/print/large/volcom-mark-appleyard-jean-2008.jpg)
Also Andrew Reynolds on **** could be awesome. Stay Flared was cool af but well, that brand is apparently dead, just like Altamont.
I have a RVCA dark denim jacket that I really like. Good quality with that particular product. Cory Kennedy wearing the MMA stuff anecdote is hilarious. And Comune was so classy, a little more cool than Analog. Comune ads were beatiful.
Fuck, The Boss on Brixton...a match made on heaven but well, RVCA is his uniform now.
HEY, remember when Rusty was a skateboarding clothing brand ?! Crazy. No Fear ever had a skateboarding team ?! :D
-
I personally would like to have seen Reynolds on Famous Stars and Straps, but RVCA is ok I guess
-
This company has been so strange over the last half decade. I remember what must've been 5 or 6 years ago when they were supposed to be going under but then that didn't happen. Year or two after that and pretty much the whole team was gone and no signature apparel, then like two years ago they start this whole quasi-team made up of unknowns and Ryan Lay but also still Reynolds. Seems like they really lost direction after they got bailed out.

Cool of you to ask. To hook up, Dylan Kuhn, Josh Thorvaldson, Kieran Zimmerman, James Thoem and the Lewis Cruise crew, Cephas Benson, definitely Barry Walsh and Marc Tison.
Events-wise, anything held at the Big O, Hoedown at the Hoof (which you might already support due to the King Shit connect), Last Letter at The Edge here in Winnipeg. Maybe help some Canadian companies like Studio, Morning Bell, Lewis Cruise, etc. hold a few small contests/sessions, or shops like Green Apple. I mean I don't know much about how the business works but there's a lot going on in Canada.

Even with Reynolds off Altamont is still looking good with their younger squad of new rippers. Looks like it's Neen, Ryan Lay, Chris Wimer and Frankie Heck.

OG altamont was and still is one of my favorite. I always loved the Jimi Hendrix collab, and how some of their earlier pieces were hand numbered and so unique compared to the large majority of skateboarding clothing companies during that time and even by todays standards. Sad to see that their recent style has shifted into becoming pretty boring and that their team is almost non-existant. If anyone has any shirts/hoodies from the earlier seasons that they wouldn't mind parting with - I'm sure I can make you a generous offer
What size are you? I have 2 shirts from the first or second season. I also have a jacket from a few seasons in

Brands like Vans are handling the canadian scene as whole way better by supporting all events both big and small, ensuring that all riders who needs shoes get shoes and making sure all shop members get footwear to try out.
I do have more to say @the dude behind the volcom slap acc.
We hear ya, it's been hard for us up there for the skate side of things since most of the reps up there make their money off of our snow stuff, in turn I think our skate activations get swept under the rug. It's a problem we face everywhere that we've been trying to fix on the skate side for years. I'll PM ya to keep the conversation going.

too bad volcom doesnt do jack shit for canada, companies like nike and volcom are sold everywhere and dont hook up more than a handfull of people.
Cool of you to ask. To hook up, Dylan Kuhn, Josh Thorvaldson, Kieran Zimmerman, James Thoem and the Lewis Cruise crew, Cephas Benson, definitely Barry Walsh and Marc Tison.
Events-wise, anything held at the Big O, Hoedown at the Hoof (which you might already support due to the King Shit connect), Last Letter at The Edge here in Winnipeg. Maybe help some Canadian companies like Studio, Morning Bell, Lewis Cruise, etc. hold a few small contests/sessions, or shops like Green Apple. I mean I don't know much about how the business works but there's a lot going on in Canada.
We'll look into those dudes fosho
I find it insane that more companies don't have reps on here occasionally to say whats up like VolcomStoned.
seriously, best market research tool ever haha. But fo real, when I was kid I wondered the same shit. Now that I'm in the position to say something for the brand I figure you might as well right?

We're working on Canada, it's just the way it works out on the business side, we just recently made it it's own separate entity so we've got plans to do bigger things.
We hook up Mikey Ray out of BC and Jayden Bono out of Toronto. We filmed parts of Holy Stokes! in Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa and Vancouver. Also support King Shit Mag and sponsored the Empire games the past couple years not to mention making at least one stop of our Wild in the Parks series in Canada for the 10 years it was around.
Who in Canada should we hook up? What other events should we get involved in??
is jinx still there?

What happened between daveed and busenitz and volcom?
Well, I think Thrasher put it best in the mag when the said "Too much rock, not enough roll". We still love David, it was just another one of those situations where we didn't have the budget.
As for Busenitz, he's a family man. Filming for adidas really took alot out of him not only being on the road but being away from his kids. So anytime we would try and film with him he would rather just be back with his fam. It wasn't like we didn't want to pay him, he just rather not have any obligations to fulfill outside of adidas. He's still wearing our stuff and both parties have nothing but mutual respect for each other.
is jinx still there?
Unfortunately not but every once and awhile we'll run into him, I think the last time I saw him he was shredding Omars pool down the street, so sick to watch him skate in real life

I have always back Volcom. They make a quality product on both the skate and snow side of things.
Also they have always hooked up skaters I respect.

The Davis Slims are still one of my favorite pants ever, but nothing will beat those early seasons of Altamont. Wish I could have afforded more of it though lol

Hey, this is Fos, I'm glad everyone seems to have pretty fond memories of the brand. I personally do of course. It was pretty amazing getting to work with Justin Regan and Andrew on this right from the start. They launched it at the Altamont racetrack in Livermore, so just being there with those guys and explaining the ideas behind starting the brand was a really rad experience.
I was still living in London when they asked me to mock up some logos for it initially, and I nearly didn't bother, I just thought I'd spend a few days working on stuff, and none of it would get chosen, so I would have wasted my time, but someone from Sole Tech hit me up and said that Regan really wanted me to pitch ideas for this and they'd pay me for the pitch, so I gave it a go, when I read the brief too, it was really rad, I initially thought "The last thing we need is another skate clothing company" but they looked like they were starting this from a really unique direction, getting Andrew involved creatively right from the start. It seemed like they really wanted to do it properly with the best of intentions and make something thats actually from skating (all the other companies at the time were pretty much surf brands)
Anyway, they ended up liking the pitches and asking me to work up one of the logo's and obviously and asking me to be the art director, I told em yes as long as I can do it from London. So for the first few years I would hand write all the ads and catalogs and email it all over. I remember even having to do an ad for Italy and writing all this text in Italian. It was really rad to be involved in that right from the start and see it grow and do collabs with all these rad people, Jimi Hendrix came from Andrew reaching out and using a song one time.
It was really after Justin left that it started getting a little bit weird. That was right when I moved to L.A. and figured I'd be more involved over there, it was doing well and it seemed to be in loads of really good stores. Then new management wanted to take it in a new direction for some reason and try to be more like a fashion brand for a while, which I think hurt the brand, new logo, all the ads that could have been for any clothing company at all, rather than making the ads from the ground up. They wouldn't listen to any feedback from the original team, and we were frustrated by the whole thing. Over time we were all forced out pretty much. I was finally let go a year and a half ago.
Anyway, So Altamont is still going to exist, I met with Pierre a while ago about coming back and helping out on it, it won't be through Sole Tech anymore, its moved out of Sole Tech and is going to be an independent brand. Thats all I can really tell you for now, they talked about getting me back to help out with things, but so far nothing has come of that, we'll see though.
Stoked for Drew that he has a new home at RVCA, stoked on the new start for Altamont. Thanks to Pierre, Justin, Reynolds, Noel, Tristan, Saecha, Bill Conrad and all at Sole Tech for the memories.

Thanks you to whoever came up with the Davis slim, I bought soo many pairs of those over the years and still have a good stack that should last me a long time. I noticed the new lineup of denim seems to be of better quality than the last few seasons, I'm still down to support them if the quality is going to get better like it once was.

Shecks and Volcom split up a little while ago, few months after Holy Stokes!
Sarmiento was a victim of budget slashing too. The euro team operates on a far smaller budget and with dudes like Daan van der Linden, Axel Cruysberghs, Chris Pfanner and Ben Raemers he just didn't match the output, nothing but love for Javi tho, he's so fucking good!

I could see him staying a clothing free agent/getting the higher end brands for free. Since he got on NB# he reposts a lot of the stuff from Aime Leon Dore with the brand's deep ties with NB.
Other week he was asking for the Palace puffer jacket and then posted it with his skate stuff before the UK demo. Man's is getting spoiled with the good stuff now that he's on the big corporate shoe brand so I don't blame him trying to be open to all the brand's ties for free swag

They had a change at the top and the new person cut the program because it wasn't generating enough revenue.

Surf & skate team riders will be dropped in abundance
Authentic Brands Groups; most of their brands have been turned into mall department store brands. Stab magazine wrote an article a couple days ago about the teams being dropped, but it's locked behind a paywall. If you look at RVCA's skate team page only Spanky, Curren, and some child remain

Did we discuss him being of RVCA?
He unfollowed all RVCA accounts and is of their team page.
He‘s been wearing Levi‘s and Dime lately. Any news on a new clothing sponsor?
Wouldn't be surprised if Levi's is trying to start a skate team considering Dickies' team is doing well.
Didn't Levi's have a skate line at one point or am I imagining things?
chet childress was on too
Joey Pepper as well

Looks like it’s just Spanky and Curren left on Ruca which makes sense as Curren is Ruca in human form and Spanky feels like he’s been on since Day 1

Spanky is riding his sponsors until the wheels fall off. He has to be one of the most "loyal-to-their-sponsors" skaters of all-time, no?
If you discount Sixteen and City Stars, he's been Baker, Emerica, Spitfire, and RVCA for like 20+ years. Only his trucks have switched up (Indy to Ace).

I think he was on ghetto child for a couple years while he was on baker. I vaguely remember an ad with him, herman, and szafranksi pushing a GC wheel with baker graphics.
He has to have been approached by NB right? Seems like he skates with Tom K semi frequently, Reynolds connect, also Justin Reynolds who's Ace tm is close with TimTim. I really hope he takes that offer if its there as it seems like a good place for actively skating pushing 40 year olds to close their careers strong

Marius has been on more recent installations. Levi SB seems very about making DIY spots
The actual brand name is Levi's DIY no? Sorta like Carhartt WIP. I wonder if that's a Euro distro thing as well?

I remember Levi’s team being Al Partanen, Joey Pepper, Marius and a few others. Al did zines documenting their DIY trips abroad paid for by Levi’s.

I base this on nothing but who I see him skating with, but I imagine that there is an open invitation for Spanky to join NB, if things, for whatever reason, don't work out with Emerica.

I have to wonder though... is it better financially to have a pro shoe on Emerica or just be on a team on a bigger brand? Because I don't see him getting a pro model anywhere else, though maybe a colorway
Not hating, I love Spanky, just speaking more to the state of limited pro models on bigger companies these days

No idea but I didn't ever see his pro shoes locally on anyone who didnt get them for free. His shoes also reliably get put on sale on emerica and shop sites a month or two after release. But they keep giving him shoes which is cool so maybe it sells really well in other regions.

I like Spanky as much as the next, but NB# seems like a pretty stream-lined operation without much roster bloat on the main squad or a legion of flow/b team/etc types so I really wouldn’t picture Spanky being added.
If anything, I’d like to see NB hook up a female skater. Samarria doesn’t feel super prominent these days and I honesty couldn’t tell you if she’s on the team or not.

Would have been nice if Alexis stayed on. Her Converse shoe in person does not feel great and like to think NB would have given her a pro model if she stuck around.

I wonder how much of that is the shoe itself. I know he says it skates like a dream but I think you need posers and the like to be buying your shoe. The plain-Jaina no frills model probably doesn't catch a lot of people's attention.

It’s not unusual to size up on Levi’s and other jeans. Especially for skating. My waist is around 32” but I get my jeans in 36” or 38” for that extra room depending on the brand/cut.

yeah there's no way he's a legit 36 waist. while we're on the topic, what do you think was his waist size during stay gold? dude was absolutely cut up and diced with minimal body fat from all those fruits he was eating.

I wear 32 but no lie will get 38 with a belt to keep it swaggy
Honest question: don’t they get weird pleats where the fabric bunches after tightening your belt? Occasionally I’d get thrift pants that big like that and largely found it uncomfortable. Maybe I’m missing a hack w the belt.

I heard he bought them and just tagged them to force himself on, he did the same with Vans

Are we sure he was sent a box and he didn't just hit his local levis outlet for Black Friday?

when reynolds was in town during an emerica demo, afterwards he came to the shop i worked for, to do a signing. he was like "im feeling kinda dusty" so he wanted to see what jeans we had, still on rvca at the time. came through and grabbed some 501 skates or whatever we had, on the house of course. 10/10 nice guy.

Speaking of altamont shirts, I’ve literally been collecting them over the years from when they peaked in 07-09, probably have 75 pieces by now. There’s one last shirt that’s been a grail of mine that I’ve never seen come up for sale in the last 17 years. Literally willing to pay hundreds if anyone has it.

Reynolds and Tony Hawk give me the same vibe these days
The vibe that they are both legendary skateboards aging gracefully, somehow still putting out footage, and continuing to offer something to skating? I feel that vibe too.

I got a pair of altamont pants when they first came out and they were like made at some denim mill in Georgia and the tag said to not wash them in the first 6 months. I really liked them. Great pair of pants
-
I had great jeans a hoodie and a jacket from them. The epically laterd of their tour is awesome. Great Kenny Hugh’s? footage, I think that is the kids name from SD who always had a crooked new era hat on. Double set bangers.

I don’t think Reynolds is anywhere near the realm of Tony Hawk attention. Tony has a podcast, does tons of commercials and sponsorship deals. He’s basically the face of skateboarding to people who don’t skate. Everyone knows Tony Hawk so the attention comes with the territory and his brand. What does Reynolds do that’s annoying and attention grabbing?

Imagine if Kenny Hoyle married Bod Boyle and chose to go by Kenny Hoyle-Boyle.

Speaking of altamont shirts, I’ve literally been collecting them over the years from when they peaked in 07-09, probably have 75 pieces by now. There’s one last shirt that’s been a grail of mine that I’ve never seen come up for sale in the last 17 years. Literally willing to pay hundreds if anyone has it.

This might be the wildest thing I ever read on Slap.

My brain is now singing the Hugh Bod Boyle song from Memory Screen as Kenny Hoyle Boyle

towards the end of altamont, there was supposed to be a season with an Amoeba Music collab, but i'm pretty sure the season never went into production unfortunately. There was a random jimi tee in the line as well as other musician/artist stuff

I am so happy I clicked this thread. Couldn´t care less for Altamont but I was at this session at Creteil where Reynolds does the back 3 in Paris (4:36). I was there on a skate trip with a friend and another friend from Paris didnt have time that day but told us to skate there. We have heard that Altamont did a demo at some Skatepark the day before but prefered to go street skating. On our way to the spot we saw Reynolds rolling around and suddenly all the team was there. We were in awe haha. I think that´s the first time I saw that footage, stoked me out.

I total'd my car last week and found my old Altamont Hendrix hoodie buried in the back of my trunk, absolutely shredded from years of wear and mouse holes but still brought a smile to my face
