Rags Pins and Buttons
Description: Skate Rags was a Southern California based clothing company that operated from the mid-1980s to early 1990s. Their tagline was "To Fit and Survive" and as such, marketed their apparel as being a bit more durable, though not sure if that was just marketing bs or if there was any truth to it, I just know my SR gear didn't fare much better than any of my other stuff. Nonetheless, Skate Rags had some cool designs and built up a great following, but as the skateboarding landscape changed in the 90s, they struggled to find their place and folded. Their team riders included Mike McGill, Tom Groholski, Monty Nolder, Sam Cunningham, Ben Schroeder, Mark Partain, and Rob Mertz, to name a few. Rip it up!
Description: "Rags to Rhinestones - Rooted in the Past, Shining in My Own Way." A powerful split-concept illustration showing a rustic mountain cabin on one side and a glowing stage curtain on the other, framed by a floral guitar, pink boots, and a cowboy hat. Perfect for country dreamers, music lovers, and fans of classic western transformation stories.
