Red Dragon Apparel

Red Dragon Apparel (also known as RDS Skatesupply) is a Canadian clothing company catering to skateboarding culture. Originally started as a small skateshop in the early 1990s in Vancouver, British Columbia by prominent skaters Colin McKay, Rob 'Sluggo' Boyce and Moses Itkonen, their clothing is now sold around the world and has attracted interest from skaters everywhere.
The company got the name "Red Dragon" from the early days of Colin McKay - he and his friends were all skaters and decided that they needed to come up with a name for their skate gang. They liked the novel by Thomas Harris (the movie was made in 2002 called ). The link with the Chinese symbol goes even further back though, to the game of Mahjong, where one of three Dragon tiles is the red character for Center, also known as the Red Dragon.
In addition to their clothing line, they also have opened up the RDS Skatepark in Richmond, British Columbia.
