Five More Brands You’ve Probably Never Heard Of

Templeton Outerwear

templeton

What’s the backstory on Templeton?

Thinking about doing stuff and then finally doing it. Fast. Crowbar-ish. People thought we do rocket science.

What’s different about your brand?

We shit gold. Plus same answers as everybody else. We’re no different.

No really, why should people support you and not some other independent brand?

There are not many independent brands in snowboard outerwear anymore. Especially available in Eurpoe…US is bit different. Uuuh, no…MissionSix is gone, right? All independent brands should be supported by majorities, minorities and the dunnos. Because we independent…and that rules. Spend your money so other people can live and evolve their visions of a “different kinda cloth,” not others…getting incredibly richer and produce gear off the rack. That would take us all further. When it comes to Templeton, our pants are the sickest I’ve ever ridden, seen or touched. Jackets are on a normal base of awesomeness. But the pants…best behind. On top hey look great in grocery stores. The apres-factor is blinding. Nearly 100% Cotton used.

Who are you and why do you think you’re qualified to run a business?

We are Marinus Aloisius Jakobus Schuster, Klaus Martin Zenker, Danny Schmidt and Simon Berger. Marinus owns the basement and I (Klaus) lay the roof panels. Marinus got some mad “make-shit-happen-now” skills and is a student of geography…hah. Me just wanna ride and smoke herb, but happened to spend my last 12 years doing stuff for 5ive Skate Shop, QWST and Pleasure Snowboard Magazine. Memorable times…paid my dues. Then we have old friend Designer – Danny Schmidt for all graphics and Basketball. Formerly chief playa at KIX in Munich. Plus we sell our garments through the experienced hands of RubySoho’s Simon Berger.

What will you do after you get rich off snowboarding?

Buy Bull Mountain and burn Ol’ Papa Muntz rye. Plus open a Snowboard-bum-home at Alta Ski Resort. Basically we try to live simply in a complicated world.

  1. ” I wore it to a rail jam and kids literally shit themselves when they saw it. ” – murder mittens

    either it really was the best logo of all time, or you have never actually stopped to consider what the word “literally” actually means

      • hey, i understand that mis-using the hell out of the word “literally” is such an epidemic in our culture that it’s usually not worth getting worked up about, but c’mon, the kids “literally shit themselves”? are you fucking kidding me? so a bunch of little kids had to go home early and have their mommies buy them new pants because this kid drew a logo that was so dope that the children ACTUALLY spewed diarrhea all over themselves the moment they saw it?

  2. Murder Mitten is the dumbest name for something i have ever heard. In a state which contains cities like Flint and Detroit which have ridiculously high murder rates, why are you printing that shit on tshirts and hoodies for a bunch of white college kids to wear. A terrible way to represent Michigan in my opinion.

  3. I bought some stickers and a hoody of that fucking murder mitten website 2 months ago and that sent me a sticker with the letter I missing from it. And it took him 2 fucking months and 7 emails that he sent in all caps talking about being to hungover to get it. Fuck that kid what a loser

  4. This Al-Pal character running Murder Mitten is a terrible person to run a business. I ordered 3 stickers which took 3 months to get here. He mixed up the stickers, AND GAVE ME 2. He didn’t respond to 8 of my 10 emails and then proceeded to mess up the next order. Fuck Yourself.

  5. Murder mitten, the clothing for white private schools boys with daddy’s credit card. Never been to Detroit or Flint.

  6. I don’t understand all the hate here! I once met Al Pal at #Vail and he’s super rad and really professional. I ordered some of those sick die cuts from the website and they fit perfectly around my #Switch bindings.

  7. Flossophy really liked Ashbury’s (and 100 other) logo that much huh? And Hip has to be the worst brand name in a long time.

  8. The only thing cool about flossophu is that Emily Laplume is part of their marketing scheme. Stay in Tahoe kooks

  9. the hip fella seemed pretty level-headed to me, and seems to have a good business plan. not a huge fan of the name, despite its double meaning, though

      • You don’t even make pants ya damn fool. The tee with that guy thinking is tight tho, it would be cool if he was thinkin about tittiess or weed or some dankass food tho. That’s just my design sensibility coming through tho.

  10. Wait murder mitten doesn’t actually make gloves? Wait their brand is based around you arranging an outline of the lower half of your state to replace a letter in a phrase that means nothing in illustrator one day? And you want people to give you their hard-earned money in support of this?

  11. Damn yall wild fo all dis. yall all wild. nigga sittin here tryna find his comb n shit and den i see all these niggas hatin an shit yall willin out do fo real

  12. Didn’t you post an article a couple months back about buying our gear from local shops, and not online. Good luck supporting any of these companies without shopping online, unless you live in the city where they’re based.

  13. Why isn’t the real oven mitten co. on this? follow us on insta yo @therealovenmittenco, yo

  14. What the heal . snowboard motherfuckers theres only three more weeks fucktards…. bitch in august when your moms in heat

  15. man, it’s 2014, everyone just steals everyone else’s logos anyways. literally every company has a logo that looks like another logo.

  16. U should take a look to Emeneka, is a Chilean brand that make sick outerwear for snowboarders, clothing and accessories (hats, beanies, sunglasses), is a one guy company, he support skateboarders and snowboarders. He just sell trough his facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/mnklsc?fref=ts

    Regards from deep southamerica. Respect.
