what's the deal with ed hardy shirts?? why are they so expensive? i like them they're attractive.. and theyre getting way too popular.. but why does it come with this expensive price tag!! is it cheaper in the states? does anyone know?? thanks!

[Meowjin]

what?

Ed hardy is played. anyways.

[~designer_rice~]

Ed Hardy is cheaper in the states for sure. One of my friends bought a rhinestone Ed Hardy hat in the States for only $80.

Christian Audigier is more popular now actually. It's even pricier than Ed Hardy. The guy who helped design those tattoo designs on Ed Hardy shirts launched his own clothing label which is Christian Audigier.

[bossxx]

CA is played man.. my buddy bought two T shirts spent like $400 and went to Vegas yesterday. He is there right now probably kicking himself cuz they are like half price in the US.

All designer clothes are cheaper in the US.

If I were you, i'd buy something else besides Ed Hardy/ CA.. and that Afflicition shit just makes you look like a wannabe CA fanboy haha.. But I agree with you, they are nice shirts.

[TopazX5]

imo ed hardy will turn into von dutch in the very near future

[bossxx]

^ agreed.

[3xta]

affliction, is the broke ass version of ed hardy. even though ed hardy is played... its only the hats :( i just bought a hoodie, and its pretty cool cause they make it limited. You snooze you loose

i agree. hats are overplayed because they're cheap... like $40 -$60 in the US.

mens jackets and hoodies aren't as overplayed as they're more expensive... in the $200 range... CA even more.


3xta- which hoody did you buy? the skeleton one?

[Meowjin]

I work at a club downtown and I can defiantly tell you I don't wear ed hardy or CA anymore, just becuase of the people who wear it.

Didn't relize how stupid I looked.

[azn_boix]

ed hardy and CA shirts looks ugly

[grock]

i think ed hardy and affliction are super tacky

the huge logos look super ugly

[impulzez]

is the tattoo designs that make it such a good brand. simply great art. i encourage anyone that likes Ed Hardy to WEAR Ed Hardy !!! although i must say, yes, Ed Hardy is a bit overpriced, but thats what makes you feel high class right?

[~designer_rice~]

Christian Audigier has launched yet another clothing label called Smet. It's already hugely popular in LA. Christian Audigier is really a genius! He left Von Dutch in order to create the line Ed Hardy which takes designs from the famous tattoo artist by the same name. Next, came Christian Audigier of course. Smet is inspired by a rock 'n roll musician named Johnny Hallyday.

One of my friends owns the Hart & Sole store downtown. They carry the Smet clothing line.

the funny thing is, ed hardy IS von dutch.

don ed hardy is a famous tattoo artist. christian audigier uses his art for his clothing and also has his higher end Audigier line, which does everything else.

Christian Audigier was THE designer for Deisel and Von Dutch before doing what every other semi-successful designer does, and launched his own line.



edit: sorry, didnt see ~designer_rice~ post.

[Nvasion]

i saw some Smet shirts at club annex and they are not that great.. cost 140 i think? nothing great...

[Nvasion]

i would much rather spend my money on affliction shirts then smet ones.

[Hondaracer]

I've been hearing that all clubs on Granville street are going to be starting to enforce a ban on CA and Affliction shits, just a heads up :P

[impulzez]

howcome?

[nathaniel]

ed hardy + CA and i think even maybe affliction are supposedly banned from clubs such as plush.
i actually have a friend who was forced to flip his CA shirt inside out before goin into the club.. he got lucky cause he knew the bouncer beforehand.. if he didnt, they would just kick him out.

it's being banned cause it's "gang related clothing". i think this law actually passed too hahaha. blame the police.

[the_rickster]

because only idiotic drug dealers would spend over $150 on an ugly t-shirt and police chief chiu doesn't want any more drug related incidences tainting our squeaky clean image.

people with real class that spend good money on clothing don't buy t-shirts with tattoos on them.

[Derek_N84]

This ban is a result of the Vancouver Police Gang Squad, the ban is not mandatory at clubs but the clubs just go along with it to avoid getting on the VPD shitlist. Clubs which are complying with the policy are almost the entire Granville strip and Plush (correct me if im wrong).

[Nvasion]

banning affliction tshirts? i believe lattitude sells the garbage affliction T's not the UFC ones. lattitde ones i believe go for 40 dollars?

[~designer_rice~]

I can't believe that ban is in place!!!! One shouldn't discriminate a person based on what he/she wears. That's so ridiculous!!! Non-gangsters wear those t-shirts too! How about all the gangsters who carry man purses (especially those LV and Gucci) ones?

p.s. i think Affliction t-shirts are about $80?

[the_rickster]

what about red or blue bandannas?
or black leather vests with patches.



gang "affiliated" clothing.

I work at caprice and the lv and gucci money purses have been banned.

You know whats funny? We havn't had much problems ever since they banned this clothing.

also you can find affliction for 30 dollars.

where do you get racial profiling out of any of this?



its a ban on certain articles of clothing because it seems dealers or the like are prone to wearing them. its like a bar not allowing colors or patches in a bar. anyone who can pay the cover charge and stay out of trouble is more than welcome to patronize the bar/club, just not with those clothes on. its not too difficult to understand, and this is nothing new.

[azn_boix]

who gives a fuck about this ban.... these shirts look like shit

[peepee99]

CA and Ed hardy are going to become the next Von Dutch fad. Shit will go downhill and eventually the shirts will be sold at winners for 30 bucks.

[the_rickster]

isn't that the same for everything?

[Hondaracer]

trust me, working at a bar about 80% of the people wearing the clothes actually do fall into that group of the drug dealers/trouble makers

i'm just basing that on looks purely, but when the guy wearing an afflicition shirt has more tatoo's then the shirt itself, usually those types can be filed under "seedy" or "trouble"

I think the VPD actually did a good thing banning it, as it was a somewhat subtle ban which wasnt well publisiced but still shows the VPD has some power and influence over the downtown core

as well, it doesnt really effect me as i dont purchase either of the brands due to how played out they already have become.

[Derek_N84]

So I was chit chatting with some fellow industry staff and the ban is on the follow clothing: Christian Audigier, Ed Hardy, Affliction and Tapout. For anyone who owns Smet, that is the next brand on the chopping block and some clubs have already gone ahead and just added it to the list.

[StylinRed]

it doesnt make sense banning it... i dont wear it i think they're ugly ,the hats are nice though. but that doesnt solve anything at all.... guess they just want to piss some people off, surprised no ones tried a lawsuit yet

clearly you dont know the extent of problems in the downtown core, although banning clothes wont do much, it's a step in the right direction imo

Hey let's ban Northface too! And Pho is now a prohibited substance! So are Bellmonts, and duMaurier...and we're taking blonde hair dye off the shelves and away from the streets so we can save some lives! You know what? let's ban Infiniti, Mercedes, Cadillac, and all rims over 19" too! Sterotypes...Racial Profiling??? What the fuck is that?!! Now let's call it a day and go grab some donuts!

It's a ridiculous ban.

Smet is the shit, it fits very nice on basically everybody, someone buy my ED HARDY hoodie!! :P

This doesn't make sense to me... why would plush ban CA, and Ed Hardy? Doesn't the store "Plush" itslef sell these brands? Isn't the club and the store related to each other?!

[Harvey Specter]

Banning the shirt just makes it that more gangster and doesn’t solve anything in my opinion. I wear my CA stuff on occasion and I’ve got nothing but complements but I was told that clubs in Downtown have banned CA stuff. It doesn’t really bug me because I wouldn’t wear my CA stuff to a club anyways. And talking about banning clothing, I remember back in the days everyone was rocking those flashy gold/silver medusa Versace belts with rhinestones and I remember our principle trying to ban them because they were associated with ‘drug’ dealers.

Excellent response from the VPD;

"Our members know who the gangsters are simply by their experiences in dealing with them," Chow said.

"I think that's a very dangerous road to go down when you start identifying people simply by clothing and setting them out because of that."

[Hot Karl]

so there's all these idiots saying "what's banning gonna do? OMG MY RIGHTS ARE VIOLATED!!!"

then there are folks who work at clubs in the downtown core specifically saying "THIS IS CUTTING DOWN ON THE FUCKING BULLSHIT".

i think i'll take their word over some punk kid who wears overpriced garbage only because everyone else is wearing it, so I GOTTA GET MINE TOO.

fucking sheep.

[Marco911]

That's pretty funny that Vancouver is trying to legislate taste.

Punks in Vancouver have zero class or fashion sense whatsoever. Everytime I step into a club in Vancouver, I snicker at these punks thinking they're hardcore with their shitty gangster-style clothing.

BAAAAWWWWWWWWW

You're so non-conformist, /wrists

If you haven't already noticed, it's a ridiculous ban. It is disputed not because it restricts our freedom to wear what everyone else does, but instead because it's not a logically sound means of curbing gang activity in downtown clubs, and is heavily based on stereotypes. What if "gang A" simply decide not to wear "gang-related" clothing when going clubbing, or trends change?

[l2_narain]

^Re-visit the issue? I am in favor, but seems like a quickfix kind of issue....They (Barwatch, VPD, BIA) need to get/fine another proactive way to curb gang crime (or any violent crime in the downtown core for that matter), but it's somewhat a step in the right direction.

That is exactly right. My clothes don't have any overt labels over them, but if you have a good eye for quality or fashion, they are the shit.

I would say that 95% of my wardrobe is European orgin (not just by brand but manufacturing location), either Italy, France, Switzerland, or U.K. By brand, 98% would be European origin. For me, material quality is 60% of the garment and cut the other 40%. It is rare to find a good article of clothing made in the 3rd world. My hoodies are Rudolf Dassler Sport - that's high-end PUMA and still made in Italy - Good luck finding that in Canada.

I travel quite a bit so I'm lucky that I get to shop in cities (London, Munich, Zurich, Hong Kong, Chicago) where you can find great clothes that you can't find in Vancouver or Canada for that matter.

If I go clubbing, I'm usually in jeans (Dolce&Gabbanna/Valentino/Costume Nationale); collared Dolce&Gabbanna shirts/J.Lindeberg polos. Vintage racing Dunhill leather jackets.

[yuusha]

If you're going to argue then at least type something worth reading.

Did I ever say that it wasn't working? I may not have been clear in my previous post, so let me rephrase that.

Sure, the ban is working right now and that's all fine and well. But what happens when trends change, and when gangs follow a different dress code? What if the stereotype on which these bans are based on suddenly change? In Narain's words, it's a quick fix at best, and they need to get working on a better idea.

Now originally hot karl was calling people 'fucking sheep' because they were complaining about how they can't wear their trendy clothes and that their rights were violated, calling them 'punk kids' for whining. However, I clearly stated that this isn't the fucking point which most people here on RS were making. I think you're the one who's unable to read.

Inaii said that it's the 'wannabe gangsters getting into fights over stupid shit' that are being kept out because of this ban. Sure that's keeping the kiddies out for now, but isn't the goal of this ban to curb REAL gang activity, and not little wannabes?

wow, you're a complete idiot.

whats the point of wearing quality??? are you serious?
your answer is in the question. "quality and expensive" clothing is EXACTLY what marco said it was... garment and cut. better/more expensive fabrics look and fit better than your $14 gap t-shirt. true, maybe not all 20somethings know what valentino is, but i can guarantee you they know that it looks and fits better than the $90 guess jeans you and 13 other guys in the bar are wearing. i swear by james pearce t-shirts. the cheapest i've ever seen them is $69 (but generally over the $120 mark), and although i know in the grand scheme of things, $70 isnt very much, i'll tell you i get cruised a lot more than when i was 18, wearing the bullshit you apparently think is good enough to get the job done.

Wait.

So following your train of though, it's the shitty clothing that has brand/designer names plastered all over it that gets down to earth girls? And it's the expensive-yet-logo-less clothes (which nobody but you and the other guy knows the quality of) that call all the golddiggers?

I think you're confused. Take deep breaths, step away from the keyboard for five minutes and cool off, I can see from your avatar that you're obviously in heat or just flaming gay.

[Marco911]

I was shopping at Breuniger (German equivalent of Holt Renfrew) in Stuttgart yesterday evening. I ran across some Ed Hardy stuff, so I thought I'd take a closer look. Guess what folks? Ed Hardy makes most of their clothes in "PRC!" Now most idiots buying Ed Hardy probably don't know what "PRC" stands for - People's Republic of China. Their tees are made in the USA, but I doubt they'd be that way for very long. That means they're just a marketing machine for overpriced clothes that costs peanuts to make, takes 3 mts of lead time to deliver, and are made in large lot sizes, so you'd likely see two gangbangers wearing the same hoodie. You'd be a moron to pay >$100 for a pair of Ed Hardy jeans that is made in China.

edit: Oh yeah, their clothing quality is the typical low-end crap you get out of China.

Then get the fuck out of the fashion forum. People who love fashion know the pleasure that looking great and having a sense of style can bring. It feels great to wear a nice light cashmere sweater, or walk around in handcrafted shoes made the traditional way.

Hahaha. Just the opposite. Most women want to date a guy who is sophisticated and knows how to dress well, rather than some guy with grease under his nails. You see, I can pull off looking good, without looking "faggy," or looking like I'm trying too hard. That's the key right there. It is also not cool to talk about your clothes, what brands you wear, etc, etc, but since this is the fashion forum, I'll make an exception. ;) It also helps that I am a good body type - 5'11", 30 inch waist and broad chest, so clothes generally look good on me.

I'm in Munich right now for Oktoberfest, and tonight I'm wearing a thin grey YSL knit sweater (no labels), my favorite Valentino Jeans, a YSL leather belt with an oversize buckle (without any label), driving shoes (The Car Shoe Prada), and a Prada reversible sports coat (again, one discreet logo on the zipper). I look and feel great! And it's time to go drinking :)

I don't think you're supposed to take the quote literally, in the sense that the money you spend on your clothing equals who you are.

When you're in clothes that fit and look great, you feel great, regardless of the dollar value associated with your clothing.

Isn't this the basis of fashion itself? Doesn't everyone want to wear good-looking clothing?

It's a shame that people mistakingly interpret buying expensive clothing as being an upper-class elitist snob, or, as you so eloquently put it, a means of determining their worth based on the dollar value of their clothes.

*Sigh*

Now we all have our tastes and spending limits. You might consider a $120 shirt to be way too much, but it's not your money, and you won't be the one wearing it, so don't go around making assumptions that he's buying such expensive clothing to make up for his shortcomings.

I didn't say that $120 is way too much to spend on a shirt. I have some expensive clothes myself. But I said it's pathetic that you think that clothes, or more specifically the money you spend on clothes, defines you as a person. At first I found it funny, but really it's quite sad.

How would you know? You can't find dolce&gabanna jeans in Vancouver. Plus its a seasonal item, their styles change every season.

Went to the actual dolce store in las vegas. I find the cuts unflattering and uncomferatble, and the washes are ugly, and personally overpriced.

Personally I like rocks, just because they can make you look a little slimmer, the washes are great and they are comferatble. Also William Rast (jt's brand) is pretty good. Chip and pepper are on the list too just because they are affordable, made in the USA in a non sweatshop environment and make your rear look pretty good ;)

I'm with you on J.Lindeberg though. Awesome brand!

As I said, their styles change every season and the wash is different. I have a pair that is like Japanese denim in wash.

Lindeberg quality isn't great. They make most of their stuff in China. They're pretty decent in T-shirts, polo shirts or their tech material/ golf gear.

Seven Jeans are good too. But I've fallen in love with my Costume Nationale Jeans once again.

They should be banned anyway, I see them everywhere I look so the less the better.
Hit up metro and find all the LB 14yo's rocking CA and Ed Hardy my fave. it's ugly

It's not D&G, it's Dolce&Gabanna. D&G is the lower-end line, like A/X is to Armani


D&G is lower end?

I just bought a D&G shirt in hk for 1200 hkd... the materials used is pretty good

yes, Dolce & Gabanna is the main line .. usually better quality and design but way more expensive

Holy fuck man, there isn't even a rule about requiring 25 posts in order to sell shit. WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING???? stop bumping old shit cause it has the words ed hardy somewhere in it. Are you in love with the brand or something??
