Ed Hardy Caps It All

by Seth Angelini

Ed Hardy caps are just one of a long list of items available from the Ed Hardy clothing line. The inspiration for Ed Hardy caps and clothing came from the “King of Jeans,” Christian Audigier and his belief that the work of the “Godfather of Modern Tattoo,” Don Ed Hardy would be able to be marketed and sold as Ed Hardy caps and clothes. The line has been successful for several years, but the Ed Hardy caps, made from the basic trucker cap, is the biggest innovation and biggest surprise of the Ed Hardy clothing line which has helped to make it a name that is remembered and sought after by many.

Ed Hardy caps are modeled after the original design of the true trucker cap. The front cloth panel is illustrated with Don Ed Hardy’s signature designs, while the back of the Ed Hardy cap is plastic mesh. Plus all Ed Hardy caps carry the Ed Hardy logo on the brim.

When most people think of trucker caps, it reminds them of farmers and truckers and the dirty hats that they often wear. But, Christian Audigier has changed all of that with his line of Ed Hardy caps. There are four basic types of caps offered. The basic Ed Hardy cap, the rhinestone Ed Hardy cap, the specialty Ed Hardy cap, and the kids line of Ed Hardy caps.

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 Ed Hardy rhinestone cap has rhinestones to accentuate the design imprinted on the Ed Hardy cap. The rhinestones used are intricately placed on the hat to make it stand out. Large rhinestones are used sparingly but make the hat shine. Smaller rhinestones are used more often to make the cap shimmer when worn. Each Ed Hardy cap is uniquely its own.

The specialty Ed Hardy cap has the design embroidered on the front panel of the cap. Some of the designs actually flow down on to the brim of the cap, while others have accessories adorning the brim such as chains or metal studs, and sometimes a few rhinestones. Each one is a Don Ed Hardy design perfectly portrayed on fabric.

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.
