After doing some reductions on Tuesday on a few other brands, this week we have knocked down Famous Stars and Straps ! Started in late 1999 by Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker (who kindly stuck a few of us on his guestlist last summer for their show at SECC) the brand is heavily influenced by punk and hip-hop, and is known to be worn by Travis and his band themselves aswell as many other celebrities and muscians. The brand specialises in bold graphic t-shirts , fitted hats and beanies . Virtually the full Famous Stars and Straps range is reduced - with some t-shirts down to the last few sizes, so get on this if you're a fan of Travis and his "F" logo brand! The reduced FSAS range is available whilst stocks last in our store on 73 St Vincet Street aswell as online . Fraser

I was looking forward to the Indian Summer that the weather forecasters had been predicting all week.....they should really learn how to predict the weather properly! Windy and showers, to me, is NOT an Indian Summer! I'm with Billy Connolly when he says that 'if you don't like the weather in Scotland, hang around for ten minutes, it's bound to change'. Anyway, Fat Buddha is at hand to get you all kitted out for the winter..... If you're worried about your New Era cap blowing away, get yourself a beanie. We've got loads, with the latest ones coming from Famous Stars and Straps (one of the best selling brands in the shop at the moment), Carhartt , and Obey (online only). If you want to keep dry, get hold of a Carhartt Sail Jacket .... And for those who just don't want to give up on the summer just yet, bring some sunshine to all those around you with this Carhartt Chase Hoodie in Zest colour way. ©

Famous Stars and Straps are one of our newest brands here at Fat Buddha and boy have they hit the ground running! We just got a big load of new Tshirts from them online here. Check them out! These are my personal favourites: - They have been doing some great stuff on the blog over there too and most recently with one of our most favourite customers... Hayley Williams! She came in last Christmas , thought the shop was 'Awesome' and I got a hug off her later on after they finished the gig, yay! Toby Morse of H2O fame recently done this boneless over the above mentioned Haley Williams of Paramore on the newly constructed Brooklyn Projects mini-ramp all while rocking his Famous hoodie. This looks like excellent fun... Did she survive? Either way she'll make you Famous ! Just like Billy The Kid (But of course she did! Phew...) David
