What can now be classified as the “Old School” Ed Hardy, Von Dutch paved the way for douche bag promoting companies around the world. The hats were so ridiculously and obnoxiously over done that they were almost the perfect recipe for vomit. They had “cool” clashing colors and fabrics, and in no way looked good on your head. Ashton Kutcher was the Von Dutch master, and single handedly allowed the douche bag to feel comfortable outside the confines of his frat house, thus allowing them to spread their douche bag seed at beer pong playing dive bars across the nation.
Once in a blue moon you may actually see one of these post-college, homo-erotic d-bags playing grab ass with his “bros” in Hoboken, rocking a Von Dutch hat because an Ed Hardy hat would be his fifth Ed Hardy piece in one outfit, and even that’s too much for him. The best part of this whole concept is that the dude totally had to style his hair before he put the hat on though in case of an emergency.
Von Dutch, a pioneer in the douche bag industry since 2000.
