Ed Hardy Caps It All

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.

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 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.

To be really special, one needs an Ed Hardy specialty cap. Similar to the basic Ed Hardy cap, the design is embroidered on the front panel; however the design does not stop at the bill, but flows down on the bill and is embossed with chains, studs and rhinestones. The specialty Ed Hardy cap is exquisite in its beauty and originality.

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.
