With the long-awaited REBEL8 x Famous Stars and Straps collab "The Big TakeOver" due to drop instore literally any minute now, heres a gem we got in last week to tide you over! The San Pancho SnapBack comes in a soft Heather Grey with a bold REBEL8 logo print in their beloved SF Giants Orange and Black colours.

We took a delivery of new Rebel 8 T-shirts yesterday at Fat Buddha , so we've got three new styles available in both white and black colourways. The names of the three tee's are: Clean Cholo , R8 Logo 3D and Ball & Chain . Firstly we'll have a look at the Clean Cholo:   The Ball & Chain:   And my favourite the R8 Logo 3D:   As mentioned earlier all designs come in both black and white t-shirts which are all 100% cotton.
