wow no shit, then that must have been the Michael Cassel guy that was sitting at the other table. Very intresting article. Too bad for Mr. Von Dutch .. although he seems like he was an asshole .. would suck to have people capitalize on your name.

what is the source of this lil tid bit that the rumor mill spit out? theres a link to the GK site but i see nothing on it that supports the claim that Grind King own von dutch. i cant say that i've ever seen anyone related to GK even rockin any von dutch. if i worked for GK i'd sure as hell have some von dutch in my wardrobe. i say urban legend.

i agree Redmond... too many people on here and in general are too righteous for their own good... sorry to hear you didn't have a girlfriend Jevad ;D

I can liken it to when people I hated back in school started wearing skate stuff - the shoes - teh shirts etc...because all of a sudden it was 'cool'...the same people that used to give me shit for being a skater were wearing *my clothes* - the things that differentiated me from their football loving, beer drinking, girlfriend beating lifestyle...

Errr. I think it's for fashion victims, but why all the hate? How can you tell if the person is "worthy" of wearing it or not. Some of you's opinions are kind of disturbing in a religious zealot way.

The trucker caps are at a ridiculous price over here in Montreal, around 65$. I'm not paying over 45$ for a hat.

The prob isn't hats or tshirts. It's dorks wearing logos that they know nothing about. (I learned about the So Cal car culture 'cause I dated a hot-rodder for 2 years a long while back)
I hate that someone bought the name of an innovating beatnik who truly shunned pop culture. That's what's sick about it. Marketing isn't bad-marketing someone's life as "image" is.
Before you buy, learn. Von Dutch the man is quite interesting as is his work. The 60's So Cal car culture he was a part of birthed a lot of cool stuff. Von Dutch clothing has nothing to do with that.
