What does 686 mean?

Well it has to do with two things

1.) It was a special date, June 1986, that relates back to Mikes grandmother

2.) It was the age when Mike started the company, 6+8+6=20.

Where are your goods produced?

Over the river and through the woods on the other side of the ocean.

How many people at 686 snowboard?  

It’s a must. If you don’t snowboard, we don’t hire you.  We are totally kidding of course, but we love when our employees snowboard and encourage everyone to be active and have hobbies they are passionate about. We have one guy in our office who is a pro on the freestyle walking circuit and he rules. We accept all kinds. 

I’m the next big thing and am interested in working at 686. What do I do?

We run a tight program and it isn’t often that we have an opening (full time, part time or even internships). However, check if there is a job posted on our Company Info page that suits you and if so, email us at jobs@westlifedistribution.com and tell us your story. You never know.  

I have something I’d like to promote or give you, where do I send it?

We really don’t take kindly to strange substances sent to us in the mail, so unless it’s something we cannot live without, it might be better to take a picture and post it on our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/686clothing). If you absolutely MUST pass it onto us, you can send to:  Westlife Distribution USA LLC, 227 E. Compton Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90248

How do I become an ACC (Artist Collaboration Conspiracy) Artist?  

You don’t.  We’ll come to you.

Can you send me free stickers?

Send us an email at info@686.com and let us know you need some stickers and how much you love our gear and we’ll hook you up.   If you order something or have a warranty, you’ll also get stickers. And…you can also go bug your local shop, tell them you know they have stickers hidden somewhere and you won’t leave until you get some.  

Do you have a warehouse store in California where I can buy gear directly?

Yes, we do have a warehouse at our office in Los Angeles, CA, however; it’s filled with lots of boxes, scan guns, funny machines, and a crazy person named El Jefe, so we’re not able to place orders for you or have you do a walk-through.  

How do I get sponsored by 686? Where do I send my Sponsor Me videos?

You may know Pat McCarthy as our killer team rider, but what you might not know is that he’s also our team manager. So if you think you’ve got what it takes to be a 686 rider and impress Patrick, send an email with all your info and to info@westlifedistribution.com.

How can I start selling 686 in my store?

All you have to do is email sales@westlifedistribution.com and tell Jono or Micah that you want to challenge them to an arm-wrestling contest.  

I see you don’t sell 686 in my country, how do I become a distributor?  

We’re always looking for new distributors, so send an email to sales@westlifedistribution.com and tell us all about your country, especially what sort of shredding there is so we can come visit you on a “scouting” trip.  

I lost my Smarty liner/broke my Toolbelt/my dog ate my zip-off hood – can you sell me a replacement piece?

Nope. And when you ask again next year, the answer will still be...no.
