This is a rare, subversive piece of late 90s/early 2000s skate culture: the NC17 Skateboarding "Rehab's for Quitters" t-shirt. Featuring a gritty, stylized portrait of Al Pacino as Tony Montana from the 1983 classic Scarface, this graphic is a prime example of the irreverent, dark humor that defined independent skate brands of the era. NC17 was known for pushing boundaries with their graphics, and this "Rehab's for Quitters" design is one of their most recognizable and sought-after archive pieces.
The shirt features the iconic NC17 logo in the bottom right of the graphic, a nod to the film's "adults only" rating and the brand's own provocative identity. This piece is a relic of the "Big Print" and "Photo Print" trend that dominated streetwear at the turn of the millennium. It is printed on a heavyweight navy blue cotton blank, typical of high-quality skate apparel from that period. As a defunct or highly limited brand, authentic early NC17 pieces like this are becoming increasingly difficult to find for collectors of vintage skate and cinema-related streetwear.
This garment shows obvious vintage wear, which adds to its authentic skate aesthetic. The navy blue fabric exhibits noticeable fading, particularly along the shoulders and seams. The central photo graphic has developed a natural, aged patina with subtle cracking and texture wear consistent with regular use over the last two decades. There are no major holes or structural issues, just a perfect "well-loved" vintage character.
