Buy It: REBEL8.com
San Francisco-based REBEL8 brand just dropped a new Dickies, custom designed jacket, The Buxton, named after their good friend Chris Buxton. Apparently, he's someone in L.A. with panthers tattooed on his neck, so they want you say to "What's Up?" if you see him strolling around and show him the jacket.
REBEL8 took Dickies' standard black jacket and "REBEL8ed it out." On the collar, Mike Giant designed panthers for the ends of each, along with a custom REBEL Eight script in the middle. The inside pocket with has a skull embroidery, while the entire bottom of jacket is embroidered with REBEL8 Dickies repeating.

They're $128, but it's safe to say not many people will have the same Dickies jacket as you.

Tribal x Dogtown Tee
Price: $20
Buy It: TribalGear.com
This collaboration is a long time coming. Two of the most iconic west coast lines finally teamed up for a collabo run of tees -- Dogtown and Tribal.
Dogtown was a forgotten slum by the beach called Venice back in the 1970s. That is until a crew of skaters resurrected it. Eventually, a skate company was formed using the Dogtown name ... and is one of original and most respected skate companies to this day. Similar to Dogtown, Tribal is a streetwear line that was around before the word "streetwear" even existed. 20 years later, the San Diego-based company is here today, and still cranking out illness.
Their collabo tee boasts a modified version of the iconic Dogtown logo on the front. Of course, it has a Tribal twist to it though. The "O" in both words is replaced with Tribal's recognizable T-star logo, and custom lettering is placed on both the back and front.
At just $20, this is a steal, so get a few now before you can't find them no more.

Late last year, Nixon released their Rubber Play model, and a hot product months later, which is why we are featuring them in our July 2010 Shopping Guide.
The Rubber Play features three-hand Japanese quartz movement; a custom 100 meter stainless steel with co-molded polycarbonate and silicone casing with domed mineral crystal, double gasket crown, and real diamond; and a custom injected silicone with patented locking looper and stainless steel buckle for the band.
It's all black on black, with stainless hands. Definitely a dope watch.

Sabre Vision's Creeper Sunglasses in Tortoise
Price: $85

Sabre Vision is a sunglasses company that's been around for around five years now. According to an interview on Malakye.com, it "evolved from a group of friends that wanted to do something cool." That group of people started a website with photos of everyone doing normal stuff like nude rollerblading in the middle of the night, kids fighting, beer bongs, surfing, skateboarding, art and playing music. Eventually, they began releasing bumper stickers, which later turned into sunglasses.
Years later, their frames are very popular. Their Creepers are some of our faves, and KarmaLoop have a variety of their different shades.
But, here's the Creeper in tortoise. They feature tortoise-colored frames, over-sized brown gradient lenses, and logo prints on the arms at the temple. They are currently selling for $85.
