ALTAMONT X RYAN LAY

Ryan Lay is known for his unique style, global travel and community work with his non-profit Skate After School. He wanted to create some pieces that could easily stuff into a travel bag, and take you from skating in streets straight into a meeting. For this season Lay wanted to focus on building a looser pant for him and his fellow teammate Jason Salillas, who skate with a knee brace and were looking for something with a little more clearance. We worked closely with Lay to create an updated version of a loose-fit pleated chino, while adding some signature details. The’Altamont X Lay Pant’ is our widest fit and includes custom art by Lay’s good friend Michael Worful, embroidered on the back top right and screen-printed on the inside pocket – these pants are the perfect blend of formal and comfort!
