Cut from a different cloth…
Find a job you love and you’ll never have to work a day in your life. Confucius said that a long time ago, and all of us here at Altamont live by that principle today. We love to design exceptional clothing. Each season, Altamont is honored to bring together a diverse group of creative outcasts—people who make their living by doing what they love most—be they skateboarders, musicians, artists or designers. These people are, like Altamont, cut from a different cloth, and we invite their direct contributions to our collection so their stories will inspire you to pursue whatever it is you love, and maybe even put brush to canvas yourself, grind a backyard pool, start your own band, and make a contribution. We know that not everyone is going to like everything we do, and that’s fine with us. Altamont isn’t meant for everyone. In fact, we hope those people will consider this an invitation to get up and start their own apparel company!
