ART OF BOARD PARTNERS WITH COALATREE TO LAUNCH ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY APPAREL August 04 2014

Art of Board and Coalatree Organics launch new line of pocket tees and hats

Orange County, CA (August 1, 2014) – Art of Board, a lifestyle and design brand known for its hard surface tiles made from recycled skateboard decks, has partnered with Coalatree Organics, a Colorado-based company that manufactures sustainable apparel, to create a line of truly original and eco-friendly pocket tees, and hats. This apparel line will be available for purchase beginning on August 1 through the Art of Board and Coalatree websites and in select skateshops in the U.S. The collection features Art of Board’s original recycled skateboard designs on Coalatree’s recycled and organic clothing material.

In the massive market of the action sports industry, Art of Board is the first to incorporate actual recycled skateboard deck graphics into an apparel line. Producing this truly original merchandise coincides with Art of Board’s tagline: “Authenticity is not dead.” This apparel is just one more way Art of Board tells the true, passionate story of skateboarding. These pieces are a tangible result of skateshops and individual riders around the U.S. being part of the I Ride I Recycle movement.

“Our collaboration with Coalatree was a seamless fit,” said Bruce Boul, Cofounder of Art of Board. “Being able to create a line of products with a company that values reusing and recycling materials as much as we do adds another level of originality to our authentic designs.”

The product line’s five panel hat is made with 100% recycled polyester and features Art of Board's all over skate tile pattern at a price of $31.99. The pocket tee is made solely out of organic cotton and also retails for $31.99. 

"We’re very excited to team up with Art of Board for this apparel line,” said Charlie Bessey, Vice President at Coalatree. “We want to empower the skateboarding community by blending style, soul and sustainability in a truly authentic way, which is why we chose to collaborate with Art of Board on this project.”
