Hey sorry I'm sure lots of you have already seen this stuff, but Pushead and Gwar both have some KILLER shirts by Altamont on the Altamont site. Awesome stuff. Half of the Pushead was already sold out,  But I got the t shirt!  The Gwar stuff is awesome too if you like Gwar, It's looks like it's from the Hell-o/ Scumdogs days. Great stuff.

Also, does Altamont's stuff run big? Or small? I'm right between a medium and a large so internet ordering is a b*tch for me.... |

Really? It would be weird seeing Pushead stuff at a retail place where I live.... Other than the same old Metallica stuff.... I like the long sleeve the best but it was sold out. Damn. The back looks SO F'n cool and I've never seen that particular drawing. But I'm happy with the T... The Gwar was a hard choice too... All of it looks great. Does this stuff run big or small? |

I saw some of last years Pushead t-shirts at a Active skate shop in Southern Cali this past summer. I have a skate shop here that retails Altamont. I need to give them a call and see if they have any coming in. I am not sure about the sizes. I didn't get the t-shirt on my vacation. That would of been less money I had for toys.  I do like the new design. I hope I can score one.

I have the two pushead shirts from the fall 2010 collection. I wear a medium, and found they both run about an inch shorter than most shirts. Otherwise they have a combed cotton feel, and are printed with discharge inks, so they are really soft shirts. |

Yep just got them in the mail and the Puhead shirt is too small! Very short! I would definitely order a size bigger than you usually wear.... Why the hell would they make the size run so small for these?? Stupid. And yes they are very thin and distressd, which is cool, but will majorly shrink! I've already got a large coming.... The Gwar shirt is a little bigger but still slim fitting. These mediums fit like an American Apparel medium.... Which is tight and small and I am even kinda on the thinner side.... |

Not so great for guys my age though!

^^Yeah I hear that. I am in my 30's.... I mean I get the whole slim fit thing, I like my shirts to fit. I definitely don't like the baggy hip hop clothes look, not my style at all. But this Pushead shirt is more like a small to me, and it's not even washed yet!... The Gwar one is better (longer) but still the sleeves are short and tight. Don't get me wrong though, they are totally killer shirts!! Just can't wait for my larges to show up... |

I hear ya, it sucks when a shirt is clearly not the size it proposes it is. |

Yeah, I just don't understand why their shirts are shorter than basically any other brand out there. |

I got three of the tees. Haven't worn them yet so I can't comment on their apparent "shortcomings" .

I have a few of these shirts from the past and current collections. The sizing is similar to the Skeletal softgoods produced ages ago. These Altamont shirts are made of a thinner material so they do have that soft cotton vintage feel to them. The mediums I have are pretty true to size and the cut is decent by not being too boxy or too slim fit, but it's still on the small side. Like others have said, if you're looking for a non-medium size then I'd probably go up a size as these shirts were made for the skinny skateboarder-types out there. Care-wise, I cold water wash them inside out to keep the graphics crisp and avoid shrinking by hanging them up to air dry. If anyone has a lead on the longsleeves and jacket PM me as they sold out long before any of us knew the collection dropped. |

Some of the items from the new collection that are marked as "sold out" have actually not been released yet from what I hear. They just put them up early. |

Wash the damn Pushead shirt ALONE!! The fucking dye bleeds out and it ruined a whole load of laundry. The shirt now looks like it has faded %50 lighter too! After only one wash in cold water! These shirts have been a fucking nightmare from the very begining.

Haven't worn or washed any of my shirts yet. That doesn't sound good Brad. Which shirt did you have? |

| Post subject: | Re: Pushead/ Gwar Altamont |
I have the same new one you got. The new one with the long hair going up the shirt. Wash it ALONE! The dye ran out and it faded like a mother fucker too. Sucks... I know they are supposed to look old and worn but it really faded a lot and it looks more like an old Metallica shirt now... Eww. Don't get me wrong though, great artwork, of course, just shitty t shirts... |

It's like no matter what you absolutely MUST love every single release by the guy or you are not a good "fan"...At no point did I b*tch about Pushead's actual artwork....Not once. Just the newer mediums in which it was released through.... And I certainly never b*tched about his vinyl toys, ever.
