Flossophy Headwear
What’s the backstory on Flossophy?
Flossophy Headwear started about 2 years ago when me and a homie of mine were sick of losing our hats on the hill and riding urban so we started tying drawstrings into our snapbacks because that whole fisherman cap thing just wasn’t for us. After a bunch of compliments and questions about where we were getting these hats I decided to put together a business model, got some people with some deep pockets (deeper than mine anyway) interested and we’ve just been sort of riding the wave out from here, trying to have as much fun as we can along the way.
What’s different about your brand?
Aside from the main difference with our hats being the only snapbacks and fitteds around with drawstrings on them, I like to think our core values differentiate us a little bit from most companies out there. With cliques and fads becoming more prevalent than ever in winter sports, we could really careless about them. Whether you are out there in your little sisters snowpants and a denim jacket, or XXXL Special Blend pants (R.I.P) with a t-shirt thats too tall for Wilt Chamberlin, we want you running our product. It’s about the fun for us. So as long as your our there having a good time on whatever it is you are on, with a smile on your face, a Flossophy hat belongs on your head.
No really, why should people support you and not some other independent brand?
If there is another independent brand out there that you are stoked on, you aren’t going to catch me telling you to jump ship and come over to our party boat (although, I can tell you, we are getting down over here and the more the merrier) because I don’t know all of those homies and I’m sure there are some out there just as rad as us. What I can tell you though is that if you decide to jump on board with us, you are going to be greeted with open arms along with all the companies you rep. Its a big industry and theres room for a bunch of us, so lets all sync up and rage. If you want to check us out though and see for yourself, check us out on Facebook or on Instagram @flossophyheadwear
Who are you and why do you think you’re qualified to run a business?
My name is Corey Palmer. I’m 23 years old. I live up in Kings Beach, CA and I have no degree. I’ve been in the industry since I was 14 years old and have just fallen in love. Aside from my passion and experience in the industry I guess I don’t have many qualifications at all…but hey, at least I’m honest.
What will you do after you get rich off snowboarding?
Psh. I have no idea. Getting rich off of this company was never something that I had in mind when I started it. Like I said I have been in the industry a long time, long enough to know it isn’t Hollywood, even with an idea as good as mine haha. My goal is simply to be able to take something I love that for now can only be a hobby and just take it one step further. I don’t need to be living in a mansion partying with Jay-Z, Beyonce and Barack. That ain’t me anyway. I just want to be able to take something I love and make it my life, and enjoy it with my homies.

” 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
I, too, like to spend my Mondays being a grammar nazi on Yobeat.
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?
they like actually literally shit their literal pants
RULE#2: WORDS ON THE INTERNET HAVE ONE MEANING.
Templeton is a disease.
MARDER MITTEN IS THE DUMBEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN AND AL-PAL IS AN IGNORANT FRAT BOY
You kno what it theeeZ
is the second sentence supposed to be a pun on actual snowboards the company
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.
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
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.
Murder mitten, the clothing for white private schools boys with daddy’s credit card. Never been to Detroit or Flint.
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.
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.
They’re logo is the philosopher stone. Actually ties in really well. Not just some random triangle thing.
So Ashbury really likes illuminati huh?
geeez what the hating harddddd
Q: What will you do after you get rich off snowboarding?
A: Buy Yobeat off of you and burn it to the ground.
GTFO… Lamez.
really who gives a shit about these dumb clothing companies, they are all the same
The only thing cool about flossophu is that Emily Laplume is part of their marketing scheme. Stay in Tahoe kooks
Lol
Beeasyboards.com
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
Why is everything 100% cotton…
I heard that alpal pays his team riders with a brazzers password.
haaaa al pal must have cryed to yobeat about all the hate and made them delete the page
No ones going to mention the stolen logo? Okay.
I’ll sue deez ngghz bitin’
check us out. we don’t put studs on pants pockets. thanks
come on man why’d you have to be a dick. sorry everyone
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.
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?

That Flossophy logo looks preeeetty similar to Ashbury’s.
Murder Mitten stole Real Creepin’s logo.
real creepin stole footyfiends logo jus sayn
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.
Yeah, except these companies are hardly in direct competition with a local shop.
Why isn’t the real oven mitten co. on this? follow us on insta yo @therealovenmittenco, yo
