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 truly trucker caps with the fabric front and plastic mesh backs. The difference is that the designs are based on the tattoo designs, prints, and drawings and paintings of San Francisco based tattooist Don Ed Hardy, and carry the Ed Hardy Logo. All the designs have been inspired by the innovative flash associated with Don Ed Hardy and his work over the past 30 years.

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 embroidered trucker caps, called basic Ed hardy caps, portray designs that incorporate the western idea of tattoo with the eastern concept of tattoo. Some Ed Hardy caps have skulls and flowers, while others show dragons and Asian scenes.

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 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.

It is hard to believe that the trucker caps are making a come back with the Ed Hardy cap. But the truth is that many celebrities including Madonna, Brittney Spears, and Miley Cyrus all have the Ed Hardy caps and other items from the Ed Hardy line. The Ed Hardy cap and clothing line is all the rage, and while they are really just trucker caps, the Ed Hardy cap add a touch of flair that is like no other.
