Von Dutch have announced they are withdrawing from the Australian market! Apparently, there is too many rip offs at the markets, and they are not making enough cash.

Maybe if they didn't charge a million bucks for a measly truckers cap they wouldn't be in that position...

Apparently, they don't own the term "Von Dutch" in Australia either! A guy saw it take off in America and bought it a month before they attempted to buy it here!

Thought that would be of interest to everyone!

Hewey I agree,

The Von Dutch thing is about the lamest 'wanna be' BS I've seen since "Hollister" alleged surf rags.

You're lucky they've left, no if only I could pull that off here...

I agree the clothing is expensive, but you have to have respect for the man - he was one bad-ass pinstriper.

I love it! Finally something that's done to deat getting it's due.

Now if they could only do that with some celbrities in America we'd be in good shape.

I have heard that the pull out method is not effective.

My store in H.B. used to be the O.C. chapter of Von Dutch. They got evicted and I nailed the lease just after. For some reason they took the toilet with them when they left. WTF?
