The Vato Rat was created by artist Craig Stecyk. Coming from the Santa Monica Dogtown "Z-Boy" surf-skate scene of the 1970's, Stecyk was surrounded by Hispanic gang culture and graffiti. At the time he was airbrushing a lot of Zephyr surfboards and blended that influence into his work. The Vato Rat was one of the many symbols he used to decorate surfboards and generally mark territory at local surf spots. In 1983 Stacy Peralta decided to bring the Vato Rat back as a Powell-Peralta graphic. They called it "Rat Bones" and it was used in advertising, on decks, stickers and T-shirts.

Application
Denim and cotton material provide the best base. Be careful of polyester.
Put the item on a hard surface, like an ironing board. Iron it to create a nice, flat surface.
Place the patch where you want it to be.
Heat up the iron to it's hottest setting.
Place a thin cloth over the patch. (This will protect the patch and any surrounding material).
Place the iron over the patch and press down hard as possible for 15-30 seconds.
Remove the iron and let patch cool.
Check the patch by gently rubbing at the edge, trying to lift it. If it lifts, replace the thin material and iron again for 10- 15 seconds.
To ensure a secure patch you can also sew around the edges.

Thanks for timely shipment and order management.
The album I got from them was reasonably priced and was shipped quickly and well packed.
This album is great, one of the tracks 'Big Iron' was featured in 'Fallout: New Vegas' so if you like that song you'll love this album.
Beautiful pink earrings my niece will love them.
Thank you!
Great
Great - compact size - great to put in small spots - need to get bigger
I am thoroughly satisfied with the authenticity of the product. Thank you very much
This new, sealed vinyl record by The Doors was shipped and arrived quickly in excellent condition and was competitively priced. It was a gift for my grandson, a music lover, who was very pleased with the LP.
It's a beautiful album. I've always loved Faith Hill's music and I'm very happy with her Christmas album!
This vinyl was unavailable on other websites. Glad you guys had it, it’s a Christmas gift for my friend who is a vinyl collector!
Sizing as advertised. Quality is great for the price. Can't wait to wear it to our Home Alone Themed Christmas.
I love this store. I got exactly what I ordered
Im not gonna lie, I saw some reviews online after I made my purchase. They were completely wrong. I got exactly what I bought and it looked better in person than it did online. I'll definitely be a return customer. Thanks for an awesome shirt
Everything came, thought it came with a 7” maybe I was mistaken
