Ok all of you wanna be ashton kutchers.
Just so that you can tell your friends you know something heres a factoid.
The people who own Grind King liscensed the name from the Von Dutch family to make logo clothes.
One brother actually thought it was shit and left. The other took it to the level its at now.
Anyone who wears a foam hat or Von Dutch is instantly a dildo.

wait i dont get it. why does von dutch make you a dildo?
im not one for wearin clothes with a logo on it anyway. im just wondering what thats all about.
- JazX0
why a dildo? Von Dutch shit is pretty tight if you ask me, especially the Tee and Beltbuckles.
- JazX0
yeah I'm not so worried about wearing a logo either, I just like well-made clothes, but I dig the 60's style greasy gear they put on. Not bad, even their jewelry is nice.

all boombaclot.....but if you ask me, i liked stussy when they rocked the "medieval calligraphy font" back in the 90s....and if you're gonna rock a truckers cap, it better be

It just does.
If you dont think its lame to wear a giant logo across your chest that Kelly osborne is also wearting theres a good chance you dont have self generated style.
Now if you wore it 3 years ago thats a different story.

yeah see he was cool way back and someone bought out his name and shit

Check out theGeneral's link. It will show you the truth behind the real guy. The name has been used for marketing[Profit].

If it was cool to you once, its still cool. For me, things dont really go out of style because everyon else thinks there cool. thats some elitist bullshit.

I like his work, it's gritty.

This place makes no sense to me sometimes...
Graphic designers against branding, marketing, advertising, fashion, and style?
do you understand how absoultely contradictory that is?
- JazX0
hee-hee, I originally posted Von Ducth over in the PB. I have no idea how this got so twisted, funny right?
- loudubs0
well, if were as simple as just "branding" the cattle....but you have to eat them as well...
hard to swallow

HAHA! That point is undefeatable. I think people who kill other people are dildos, and people who lie to their friends are dildos.
If everyone had self generated style the ultra hip would start wearing logos across their chest.
Some people spend time developing a clothing style, some buy shirts with logos. Who cares?

VonDutch was hot 2 years ago. But now it's doing the same mistakes that Tommy Hilfiger did. Not gonna last too long.

brand 'em, milk 'em, eat 'em.
brand 'em, milk 'em, eat 'em.I personally don't feel all that threatened by disturbences in the style force. Rock your "Jesus Is My Homeboy" shirt like there's no tomorrow.
...because there isn't.
