Who here knows who Von Dutch was?

Jesus once again you say what Im thinking. Trendy fucks ruin most things. And you can test if anyone is REALLY into Che Guevara by asking them what country he was from. 95% of people that wear his image (including all the "Latino revolutionaries" here in L.A.) will say "Isnt he Mexican?". WRONG. He was from Argentina. And no one with ANY amount of money should be wearing his image. If you knew anything about what he was about, you inherently shouldnt be partial to him or his beliefs if you have money. But whatever. :)

P.S. My belief is if you dont care....dont post. lol ;)

Exactly! Che has been used as a marketing tool for all types of rich ass capitlaist countries which would infuriate Guevaro to no end, I'm sure. If anyone gets a chance, his motorcycle diary is a good read for anyone who is curious about what turns a middle class Argentinan pre med student into a Communist Revolutionary

You know he was used as a marketing tool by communist nations while he was alive, dont you?

Von Douche anything sucks. Mainly those hats. Especially when the hat is pink, and some smug bitch is wearing it. Sideways

The only trucker hat I've ever liked was camo, and said "TED NUGENT" on it.

Yes, that I guess that is true and I'm sure that if that was the case, it was part of his reasoning in parting ways with Castro and setting out on his own to start new Communist uprisings in other South American countries.

There is now a line of clothing put out by hot rodders* in the Von Dutch style (including a version of his Flying Eyeball) with "No Respect" script on it.

He was a very cool, left-field dude who even 'striped and flamed a 300SL Gullwing.




*not those fucking street rodding fashion-following dickweeds, but proper hot rodders.

It may be alleged, but how ironic is it that many people who made it popular are not white!

[Iain]

I've heard of him being a recluse, I've heard of him being an alcoholic, so him being a racist could well be true. Remember, we're talking about the 1950s here.

And even if he is a racist doesn't take away from 2 facts:

1) He is a fucking awesome artist
2) There are too many people out there wearing his name in vain.

Bob Dylan was widely regarded as an arsehole, but that doesn't take away from his place in modern music history.

[!RocknE30!]

I just assumed the kid was a homo, not trendy.

:D

Hahahaha!

I didn't know too much about von dutch but I knew he was big in the hot rod era.

[Tvan]

The clothing label is all over the fucking campus. And who wears it you ask? Just all the rich white girls and all the asians, they have the hat in every color under the sun.

I want to get a J L Bachs hat in that script just so I can laugh at people when they ask what it means.

He wuz crazy, I love the pin striping "harry shaken by cross breading" that he did. His work was the best, too bad he never copyrighted his stuff and the company took advantage of his name and designs and made money off of his stuff after he died. I can't remember the name of the site, but it has clothes that say vonsuck instead of vondutch making fun of the label

I've got a Vondrunk shirt and a Vondouche T-shirt as well.

What happened was that after he died, his family sold the rights to a major clothing label :-x
