Noticed all that Von Dutch clothing about nowdays....well it's about time the real story was told. Spread the word, ask a kid what the hat he's wearing really mean, and set them straight..:thumb

The best response is wear a t-shirt with his stripes and not his name! LOL

some people are like slinky's
they have no useful purpose
but they are fun to watch

is the *edited* bit Neo Nazi?
that's what I heard.

a lot of stores in the U.S. have apparently stopped stocking product with the "Von Dutch" name on it because of that.

so it is true. when i first saw the hats on ebay i thought cool, that's the hotrod artist guy, wouldnt mind some gear of his, then i saw the add that went with it about all the cool and famous people who wore it and thought i must have made a mistake about the person behind the name. obviously not.

Remember him for what was good...

This is his Kenford. A mix of Kenwood truck body and Ford pick up chassis.

The infamous Tube Le Dump. How else do you get rid of your empty travellers?

I can't find pics of his THING but it was covered in Barracuda I think.
