Von Dutch shirt siting, this time with a suit jacket

Was traveling back from trendy San Francisco and while walking thru the airport this morning I spot this Yuppie/ business guy (30 something) wearing brand new jeans, boat shoes, a white t-shirt with black Von Dutch logo and a Sport Jacket... Could not believe it... whats next

So I guess its time to go out and buy yourself a sport jacket to wear with our HAMB shirts if we want to be styling..

 

Not to change the subject,but which is more expensive? A Von Dutch T-shirt,or a West Coast Choppers T-shirt?

 

I think the O.C. choppers stuff probably tops the pricelists. I heard that Macy's carry's the stuff? What a crock of ****. I must be prematurely aging!

 

id say the VonDutch shirt,..cuz everybody and their sister wear the WCC shirts in my area i even see teenage girls wearing them. haha

 

lownslow has some killer t's for sale for his shop imperial customs.they are the next big thing.get'em now!!!! :

 

Teenage girls that wear WCC shirts? which way did they go....

 

hey,its kinda cool in a perverted way,,,,haahaha

If he was wearin' boat shoes he's an East-coaster, not that it matters too much but I have been in meetings with these guys and they'll wear Topsiders even with a suit....

 

who cares

 

Maybe some of you kids remember Don Henley?
After Eagles, he did a solo album called
Building the Perfect Beast back in the late 80s
In a song called The Boys of Summer was a put down on the chainers of then;


"Out on the road today, I saw a DEADHEAD sticker on a Cadillac
A little voice Inside my head said, "Don't look back. You can never look back."
I thought I knew what love was
What did I know?
Those days are gone forever
I should just let them go but-..."

Don was *****ing about the same watering down and mainstreaming of an underground icon, just like VDO is now. (Or was he just noticing the wider acceptance or growing affluence of the "deadheads??)




You can never look back.
You can never go back to "How it was in the good old days"



Neo-Nazi bikers put ********s on Levi Strauss jackets...Levi, a Jewish tailor.
We commit genocide on the Mid-West indigenous people and later drive around in trucks named Cheyenne, and cars named Pontiac and Cadillac.

Pontiac put the name Grand Prix on a four door sedan.

To the Capitalists, nothing is sacred except the making of profit.

 

DrJ calls it like it is.

......and no socks if he's a blow boater....

 

I took the kids shopping yesterday and we stopped in a place called Hot Topic.Nothing but commericalized punk clothing.It just seemed odd to see clothes I use to ware selling for big bucks to kids who have no idea what a punk was.

 

We have a term for generic looking flat blac k cars of every make and model, the Hot topic Hot Rod.
In short the HTHR.

 

Dr J and I are usually on different ends of the spectrum but today we agree.

 

The one thing that I never saw a picture of was Von Dutch wearing a Von Dutch shirt.

 

I can Believe it, When stuff goes mainstream it kind of is
taken advantage of and makes all the REAL greasers look
normal.... <font color="#666666"> </font>

 

Heh, I heard a remake of "Boys of Summer" on the radio the other day... the thing that made me chuckle about it is that they changed it to "Black Flag sticker on a Cadillac..."

Good for them!

 

There's a pic of Von Dutch wearing a Von Dutch shirt at the '74 Rat Fink Party....He also brushed a few for himself during his lifetime, and okayed the "System Von Dutch" designs that Roth did...
The photo is on p.41 of the "Confessions..." book...
But '74 is a long time ago,a long way from here......

 

Hell, I was in the go-mart the other day and even they sell WCC ****. Toqwik

i too have to agree with the good doctor on this one.


...BTW, who is this 'Tommy Z' dip **** and why did he not post an intro??? i noticed he has posted a cl***ified ad for doing concept artwork but did'nt bother to post any samples. just wondered...

 

Do yo think after about 20 posts about these shirts, someone will get the idea that they are mainstream?

If DrJ went on TV to expound on the evils of capitolism and he wore a HAMB shirt don't you think everyone would want one?

Would it change anything?

Or as Germ put it "Who cares?"

 

I was in the mall last week and Gadzooks had the front window FULL of COMING SOON VON DUTCH CLOTHING FOR GIRLS. and all the mannequins were done up from head to toe in the VDO set ups

 

DrJ- I love that song! It's been on the radio around here a lot lately.... I can't believe how many people don't remember that song. lol

Seeing all this clothing **** is annoying, but for people like me who want to make a bidniss out this kind of thing, I love seeing the stupidity of millions of trend followers just buying something because they think it'll make them look and feel cool. Viva la insecurity!

 

Don Henley ROCKS, always has, always will

Too bad a ticket for the Eagles upcoming concert here in Detroit is $177.00 a piece. That ****s. I lose alittle respect for said artists when their concerts are priced out of range for their average fan.

 

Today , me and my daughter were out shopping or killin the day .I really didn't get whats the big fuss is on the von dutch line,so we went into a store that sells the stuff .After looking for at the hats ,89.00$ shirts 60.00 was the cheapest , bowling ball bags w/ name on it , no price .The boy stocker and 20 something girl working this store asked if we needed help.I said uuh no i just had to see what all the rage was .I also said funny how nobody who sells this line even knows who Von Dutch is/was.
The guys responce was "what do you mean was " ? "is he dead "?I said yes he died a while ago ,also asked if he knew who he was ? He said some guy who painted stuff ,w/ a puzzeled look about him .I said well when he lived here in az , he stopped me and said wow he lived here ?Long story short ,even the people who sell the hats and bowling bags knew nothing about him .
Upon leaving, i see a young gal w/ one of the hats on her head and exclaimed ooh now this young lady has a hat on she know s what its all about .I asked her so what does this von dutch hat mean ? She said ooh its just a brand name !!Again making my point ...
I wonder when the "hells angels" brand name will come out ?
Guess there was no guy named levi or ford either just a brand name , w/out meaning .This to shall p*** ,i hope.

 

Don Henley had another great song out of that era:
"....call some place paradise, kiss it good-bye."
