Design Description
Kenneth Robert Howard (1929–1992), better known as Von Dutch, was one of the most influential figures in American hot rod and motorcycle culture. A gifted pinstriper, sign painter, metal fabricator, knife maker, gunsmith, and mechanic, Howard learned lettering and painting from his father, a Los Angeles sign painter, and was producing professional-quality work before he was a teenager. During the 1950s, he revolutionized automotive pinstriping with intricate freehand designs that helped define the emerging Kustom Kulture movement. His most enduring creations include the iconic Flying Eyeball, the legendary Kenford custom truck, and countless custom motorcycles and award-winning hot rods. Howard even popularized the use of the letter "K" in "Kustom," a stylistic choice inspired by his fascination with German design. Ironically, the man whose name would later become a global fashion brand had little interest in commercializing his work. After his death, the rights to the Von Dutch name were sold, eventually becoming synonymous with the trucker hat craze of the early 2000s. Howard himself famously rejected the notion of artistic ownership, saying, "Use any of my stuff you want to. Nothing is original... copyright and patents are mostly an ego trip." That philosophy inspired this design—a tribute to the authentic Von Dutch, celebrating the rebellious craftsman and artist who helped shape Kustom Kulture, rather than the fashion label that later borrowed his name.
Product Details
Like all our designs, this one is treated with our signature ‘relic-ing’ process which includes our own secret recipe of hand-painted chipping, cracking, fading, and just the right touch of yellowing to ensure that it looks the part of a true vintage imprint.** We lay these works of art down on premium Bella+Canvas 3001 Unisex Jersey Short Sleeve Tees, one of the softest, best-wearing t-shirts available today, via state of the art direct to garment (DTG) printing which allows us to create a vintage effect that simply can’t be accomplished with other printing methods. In short, these shirts are everything you’ve dreamed of and more – it feels soft and lightweight with just the right amount of stretch, making it comfortable and flattering for both men and women.*Heather CVC Colors: 52% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton, 48% polyester, 32 singles, 4.2 oz. Athletic Heather and Black Heather CVC: 90% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton, 10% polyester, 32 singles, 4.2 oz. Heather Prism Colors: 99% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton, 1% polyester, 32 singles, 4.2 oz. Heather Prism Blue: 90% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton, 10% polyester, 32 singles, 4.2 oz. **Due to the nature of the printing process and different sizes of shirts offered, imprint position and scale may vary slightly from the product images, but we do our best to be as accurate as possible. Screen colors may vary due to differences in screens. Due to the natural nature of cotton, whites may appear off-white rather than bright white. Size Chart
Not sure what size is your best fit? We recommend taking one of your current t-shirts, laying it flat and measuring it. The measurements in the chart below are taken with the shirt laying on a flat surface. To get the length, measure from the high shoulder point down to the bottom of the shirt. To get the width, measure approximately 1-inch below the armhole, across the chest, from seam to seam. While our tees are all made using premium, pre-shrunk, ring-spun cotton, there can be some shrinkage depending on your personal wash and dry cycles. With that said, if you’re on the fence, we always suggest going up a size.
All sizes are provided in inches! Please note that variations in sizing of up to 1.5 inches are possible.
