Ed Hardy Inks The Trend

By Seth Angelini

Ed Hardy caps combine the "King of Jeans" style and marketing ability with the famed designs of the "Godfather of Modern Tattoo." Christian Audigier had a concept that included the work of Don Ed Hardy, a renowned tattooist and artist based in San Francisco, and Honolulu from whom Audigier took inspiration from over the last 30 years. The two joined forces and created Ed Hardy caps, along with the Ed Hardy clothing and shoe lines. The major surprise of the Ed Hardy line was the unbelievable demand for the Ed Hardy cap. However, saying it is a cap is an understatement, because the Ed Hardy cap is truly a work of art.

The basic design is the original trucker cap with the mesh in the back and the polyester or cotton front panel. The designs portrayed on the Ed Hardy cap include the designs from the flash, print, paintings, and drawing of Don Ed Hardy. The Ed Hardy caps also bear the Ed Hardy logo to show the cap is a real Ed Hardy cap.

When Ed Hardy clothes line says trucker cap, they really mean trucker cap, like the ones seen on farmers and truckers that are stained and dirty from hard work and sweat. The difference is that Christian Audigier has taken his trucker caps to the next level of sophistication and created something new. Ed Hardy caps are available in a basic cap, rhinestone cap, specialty cap and the very special kids cap.

The basic Ed Hardy cap is an embroidered trucker cap. The designs of Don Ed Hardy all have a mixture of western and eastern flare to them. The skulls and flowers, and the tigers and geisha's of the orient are intricately embroidered on the caps.

The rhinestone Ed Hardy cap has the design printed on the front panel and is then embossed with rhinestones. Some of the rhinestone Ed Hardy caps use large rhinestones in specific places to bring the design to shimmering life, while others have smaller rhinestones that make the Ed Hardy cap design pop. All are unique and beautiful in a glamorized biker kind of way.

The Ed Hardy specialty cap is also embroidered; however the designs often flow over onto the brim of the Ed Hardy cap. The cap may also be embossed with chains, studs and an occasional rhinestone. The Ed Hardy specialty cap is based on a unique Don Ed Hardy creation and is simply flawless.

The average person is just as excited about the Ed Hardy cap. How can they not be when many celebrities are sporting Ed hardy caps on a daily basis. Celebrities such as Miley Cyrus, Brittney Spears and the Jonas Brothers are all wearing the Ed Hardy line. The Ed Hardy cap is truly the original trucker hat, but with a touch of rough glamour and chic style that only the collaboration of Christian Audigier and Don Ed Hardy can create.
