I am over trendy wankers wearing kustom styled clothing. Britney Spears and co. probably just wear whatever their marketing person tells them.

Gwen Stafani (No Doubt lead singer) appears to be the exception to the rule as she is always wearing old style threads, and doesn't come across as wanting to a be a trendy wanker (again, this could just be marketing, what the hell would i know).

having said this, who am I to criticise? I have a basic mechanical knowledge, but I am a way way long off putting together a home built rod or kustom in the shed. Just because I can tell the difference between lakes pipes and zoomie headers does that mean I can wear kustom clothing?

I dont wear von dutch clothing because of its popularity amongst 'trendies' (and the bloody price). Having said that, my fave shirts are my mooneyes shirt and coop devil mechanic style shirt - both kustom culture stuff. I wear these because I love em and no-one has any idea what they are.

I am going to spray up some von dutch style shirts for my girl though. One concept will have the von dutch logo on a plain coloured shirt, with "has been sold out" at an angle just under the logo in bright red - love the double meaning. The other one involves the von dutch logo, and the following text underneath:
Artist
Legend
Alcoholic
I am hoping they cause some double takes on the street.
