Rebel8 | Particl Company Profile

Last weekend, I saw my friends @terrorhardcore put on the show of their lives opening for @obituaryband in LA. It was the first time in over a year that I’d gone out to a show. I rolled with my homie @dougweber82 (ex-Terror, ex-REBEL8). Thanks @foreverlawless! Between sets, while catching up at the bar, Doug reminded me that I gave him his first real job after he left the band. He joined REBEL8 back when we were still in SF, helping out in the warehouse. He quickly became our sales rep—because Doug is one of those people you just want to be around. And people buy from people they like. It’s that simple. And it matters. After Doug came on board, we started thinking—how could we tour again? This was hella years ago, and back then, brands didn’t tour. Music artists weren’t really running full-blown clothing lines or selling merch year-round either. So we leaned into what felt real. To connect our tattoo roots to the idea of touring, we started hitting tattoo conventions across the country. It made sense. Conventions were affordable, and at the time, a lot of tattooers rocked with REBEL8. It was organic. It was ours. To support the idea, @ogmikegiant and I selected a few of his illustrations to showcase—and made them available exclusively on the tour. Now, all these years later, I find myself in this full-circle moment. Working with Mike again. Reconnecting with Doug. Looking to build something new in hardcore. Going back to our roots—not just metaphorically, but for real. And this time, I want to bring you with us. Yeah, you read that right. I want you involved. Why not let you have a say in what we bring back? Some of you’ve been part of this since day one. There would be no REBEL8—22 years later—without you. So here’s what I’m thinking: As I continue to work with Giant on new art, let’s also dig into the archives—together. Comment your top choice from the REBEL8 archives. Just one. Don’t hit me with “I want them all.” I’m only printing one for now. Let’s do this. Slide to see your options from the original REBEL8 Tattoo Tour and comment below.

A few months ago, I partnered with Inspired. I never talked about it because I’m not into using charity as some bullshit sales tactic. REBEL8 wasn’t built on “giving back” or jumping on every social cause. My favorite animal is the humpback whale — but I haven’t done a fucking thing to save them or the ocean. I’m not here to bullshit you. I’ve never believed in asking you to buy a t-shirt so a brand can brag about giving one away or making a charitable donation on your behalf. I linked with Inspired because I met the founder, and he was cool and fucked with the brand. He also created a scalable way to give back — 5% of every order goes to a charitable cause, at no cost to you. When I first launched this, I chose Team Rubicon to help LA families displaced by the fires. “Displaced” is such a PC word. People lost everything — their homes, their memories, their sense of safety. Living in LA, it hit way harder than just seeing the shit on the news. After a couple months, I shifted the donations to To Write Love On Her Arms, an organization supporting people battling depression, addiction, self-injury, and suicide. This one hits deep for me — I’ve seen the devastation of family drug addiction and fought my own battles with depression, along with the fucked-up thoughts wondering if the world would just be better off without me. Whichever cause resonates with you, you can choose from multiple options at checkout. To be clear, this is how it works: When you place an order on REBEL8.com, Inspired automatically directs 5% of your purchase to a cause that matters. You don’t need to do anything extra—it happens automatically at checkout. I’m not saying all of this to push you into buying more shit, but just a heads-up on how your purchase can help make some real change when you support REBEL8. On another note, I tried to make some more REBEL8 lighters to sell, but honestly, they didn’t turn out how I wanted. The logo’s just a bit too big and sits too low on the lighter. I can’t unsee what I had pictured in my mind, so I’m not even trying to drop them. Instead, I’m putting one in every order until we run out.

REBEL8 Outerwear Is On Sale—And This Might Be It We’re putting all REBEL8 outerwear on sale. There are a few reasons. First—seasonality. I’m in L.A. right now, it’s 80-something, and if you’re in California, you’re probably not reaching for a jacket anytime soon. Second—we’ve got too much inventory. Jackets take up space, and warehouse shelves aren’t cheap. But here’s the real story: This is it for REBEL8 outerwear in 2025. We’ve officially canceled all new developments. Literally stopped the show. And I’m bummed—because I pour my heart and soul into designing these pieces. Don’t get me wrong, I love working on graphic tees, especially now with @ogmikegiant back in the mix, but outerwear is where my passion really lives. I hope we get back to a place where I can bring those ideas to life again. All our outerwear is made in China—and it’s made right. These are some of the best-built jackets you’ll find at this price point. You’ll feel it the second you pull one out of the box. But with rising tariffs and production costs, making them again just doesn’t make sense right now. So this is your chance to own a piece of history. No restocks. No reruns. Just timeless REBEL8 outerwear built to outlast—and maybe never made again. Thanks for your continued support. Buy a few jackets now and enjoy them later. And yeah, they’re 40% off right now—because I’d rather get these jackets into your hands than leave them sitting on a shelf. Best, @joshrebel8
