Mole Posted January 11, 2004 Report Posted January 11, 2004 Last week, I saw my friend John who I hadn't seen in 5 months or so. He had a Von Dutch hat on, and it was a pretty nice looking hat. They are very expensive, about $75.00 for that hat. I have seen some for $45.00, which is also a lot, but if I had extra cash I would buy it. Anyone own anything that is Von Dutch?
Guest Random Hero Posted January 11, 2004 Report Posted January 11, 2004 If you buy one of them things, you really need a cold, wet slap across the face. They're just the 'In thing' at the moment because for some inexplicable reason celebrities think it's cool to be seen in one. Seriously, you can get a trucker cap like that for like £3 in a market or something. Save your money, buy 'The Shield' Season 1 DVD instead.
{''({o..o})''} Posted January 11, 2004 Report Posted January 11, 2004 I got a whole bunch of it for my birthday a while back. What the hell am I supposed to do with a strip of leather with Von Dutch embossed on it? The hat is ok, but I wouldn't have payed anything for it.
dubq Posted January 11, 2004 Report Posted January 11, 2004 Anyone own anything that is Von Dutch? No. Thank god. Foam'n'Mesh hats are for rednecks and pseudo hip wankers who are stupid enough to pay that much for a hat...
Mole Posted January 11, 2004 Author Report Posted January 11, 2004 I started wearing the mesh cap before it was "cool." I bought one at a thrift shop for like $5 and just wore it while I was working. This was before Ashton started wearing them and everyone followed. I forgot about the Cena mesh hat, so I think I'm gonna get that one at Smackdown on Tuesday.
Steviekick Posted January 11, 2004 Report Posted January 11, 2004 What's Von Dutch?... The newest pseudo-retro-trend name brand.
Guest DustyFinish Posted January 11, 2004 Report Posted January 11, 2004 This sounds so amazingly retarded.
dubq Posted January 11, 2004 Report Posted January 11, 2004 I remember when it used to just be farmers who wore these things, and they had the "John Dere" logo on them. Now Hollywoods trendiest and their sheep are all over them... scary!
Guest El Satanico Posted January 11, 2004 Report Posted January 11, 2004 Up until this afternoon I assumed it was a skateboard clothing brand. Then today I somehow got on a site that sells von dutch hats. I liked them, but was shocked when I saw the price. $20 or $25 fine no problem, but at least $45 fuck that. Rather wear a Miller High Life trucker hat for $10. About two years ago I thought about wearing mesh hats and I had never seen them worn, but now way too many people wear them. Get one of those train conducter hats, start a new trend. Or even bring back the classic that is furry kangol hats.
kkktookmybabyaway Posted January 11, 2004 Report Posted January 11, 2004 What's Von Dutch?... The newest pseudo-retro-trend name brand. OK. Kids these days...
MooreMark Posted January 11, 2004 Report Posted January 11, 2004 I have a regular blank mesh hat. It's white and black. No, Von Dutch for me..it seems to feminine.
TSA09 Posted January 11, 2004 Report Posted January 11, 2004 Or even bring back the classic that is furry kangol hats. They have brought back the furry Kangols
Nevermortal Posted January 11, 2004 Report Posted January 11, 2004 I only wear skull caps. It keeps my hair all nicey.
Guest Deebo Posted January 12, 2004 Report Posted January 12, 2004 I had a hat back when it first came out and was a lot cheaper. I didn't really think anything of it though. I just saw it at a store and bought it.
Guest Italian Stallion Posted January 12, 2004 Report Posted January 12, 2004 Von Dutch jeans go for $150 - $175. Paris Hilton has a Von Dutch outfit for her dog.
Mole Posted January 12, 2004 Author Report Posted January 12, 2004 Or even bring back the classic that is furry kangol hats. I pray to GoD that never comes back.
Golgo 13 Posted January 12, 2004 Report Posted January 12, 2004 They are very expensive, about $75.00 for that hat. I have seen some for $45.00, which is also a lot, but if I had extra cash I would buy it. Jesus Christ. Seriously, what's the point? Buy a different brand hat in the same style for $5-$10 and save the rest of your money for something that you won't regret buying in a year.
Guest El Satanico Posted January 12, 2004 Report Posted January 12, 2004 pffft...furry kangols own us all
Edwin MacPhisto Posted January 12, 2004 Report Posted January 12, 2004 Go to TJ Maxx and buy oversized pimp fedoras. On clearance for just $15! More hat for your money, and the 4-inch brim never goes out of style.
treble Posted January 12, 2004 Report Posted January 12, 2004 Paris Hilton has a Von Dutch outfit for her dog. Well, that's sure a selling point.
Thoth Posted January 12, 2004 Report Posted January 12, 2004 The point of Von Dutch is that words can be copyrighted, unlike styles. So people can wear more expensive words like "Von Dutch," rather than cheaper words like... uhh, I guess "Old Navy." Or whatever.
Steviekick Posted January 12, 2004 Report Posted January 12, 2004 It just happens that Von Dutch is more acceptable in some circles than Old Navy.
areacode212 Posted January 12, 2004 Report Posted January 12, 2004 Good god, Mole. It's January 2004. Not only has the trucker hat trend been over for like, 6 months, it was incredibly stupid to begin with. Nobody wears that shit anymore. Save your $75 and buy something worthwhile. Seriously, they were the "in thing" in like Spring/Summer--at this point, nothing screams "fashion victim" like a fucking trucker hat. . Trends like this have a really, really short shelf life because they look so ridiculous.
areacode212 Posted January 12, 2004 Report Posted January 12, 2004 More on how stupid they are: http://www.gawker.com/03/05/005754.html http://elizabethspiers.com/files/2003/08/1...trajectory.html
Guest El Satanico Posted January 12, 2004 Report Posted January 12, 2004 Well once the trend has been completely dead for a year or so, it would then be ok to wear them.
Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20 Posted January 13, 2004 Report Posted January 13, 2004 I have 2 Von Dutch Truckers that was given to me over the holidays. They are currently sitting on my dresser in all there $75.00 glory. QUOTE (Italian Stallion @ Jan 11 2004, 10:41 PM) Paris Hilton has a Von Dutch outfit for her dog. Well, that's sure a selling point. Ashton Kutcher wears them. HOW ABOUT THAT!?!?
Mole Posted January 14, 2004 Author Report Posted January 14, 2004 Good god, Mole. It's January 2004. Not only has the trucker hat trend been over for like, 6 months, it was incredibly stupid to begin with. Nobody wears that shit anymore. Save your $75 and buy something worthwhile. Seriously, they were the "in thing" in like Spring/Summer--at this point, nothing screams "fashion victim" like a fucking trucker hat. . Trends like this have a really, really short shelf life because they look so ridiculous. Yeah, I didn't realize how dumb spending $75 on hat would be. So I got the John Cena hat, just because it has the old school WWF(E) logo on it.
Guest Dynamite Kido Posted January 15, 2004 Report Posted January 15, 2004 I actually like their hats, but $75?!??!?!! WTF?
