The first caps from ELM landed on planet Earth in 2004. ELM was born from the vision that the headwear industry lacked inspiration and true creativity. ELM cured this by constructing caps and other hats from scratch instead of just putting a logo on a generic model. On the skate team ELM has Walker Ryan, Mark Suciu and Justin Schulte and snowboarders representing ELM are Hana Beaman, Romain DeMarchi, Danni Larsen and Silvia Mittermueller elmcompany.com
