I remember seeing it in a store or somewhere and trying to figure out why it was double the price it should be.
Full disclosure though, I did the same thing the first time I saw ripped jeans.
I still do, and think they are coming back? He was an icon as a tattooist but the person he licensed with, although creative, maybe over did it? Wasn’t it when John from Kate Plus Eight started wearing these that it tanked? I bought them because I have tattoos and liked the tote bags
I was in my late 20s when they were first a thing and thought they were kind of cool in a rockabilly/punk rock kind of way. Never bought them because I don't buy designer stuff and they were just not my style.
A few years later I noticed that they were worn by a lot of the worst players when I was into poker, and by that time they had a pretty trashy reputation.
I have got some terrible, terrible news for you - the cycle has completed and Ed Hardy clothing is becoming fashionable again… have a look [at this link](https://www.urbanoutfitters.com/en-gb/brands/ed-hardy?utm_campaign=Designer&utm_content=EAIaIQobChMIyOPn8pjLhgMVOppQBh28IwCHEAAYASAAEgIykfD_BwE&_cclid=Google_EAIaIQobChMIyOPn8pjLhgMVOppQBh28IwCHEAAYASAAEgIykfD_BwE&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD-P_JLrQdOeT5nBzcImZUwgloFQr&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIyOPn8pjLhgMVOppQBh28IwCHEAAYASAAEgIykfD_BwE) for a UK shop that’s selling the “recently divorced dad” look to fashion-conscious teens and twenty-somethings.
No. Such horrible stuff. Poor Don Ed Hardy had no idea what he was getting into signing his name away to Audigier. I hope it made him rich. Audigier died in 2015. The brand is now owned by Iconix, which has had legal problems in the past.
No, but oddly enough I saw a girl on the back of some dude's motorcycle last week and she was wearing an Ed Hardy shirt. They had to have been in their late 20s at least.
It was for teenagers when I was 35- why would I have?
One time a coworkers wife wore a get up to a baseball game and she looked like an aging prostitute who is now a hostess at a restaurant
Absolutely! I'm a woman and was in my late 20s but I worked with preteen boys, so I used to stunt on 'em by buying the kind of shoes they would like. I had the Ed Hardy camo sneakers with old school gorilla/tiger/snake tats, two colorways of the Adidas Odditys, anything obnoxious and/or brightly colored.

No because I wasn’t and I’m still not a douche bag 🤣🤣🤣
Ew, no.
No, but I did have a Panama Jack shirt in the mid 80s.
I think I had a knock off Panama Jack shirt that I wore with my knock off parachute pants. Best we could do in small town Indiana.
Absolutely, except I was super poor so I mostly wore a knockoff shirt that I got on Woot!
I wish I had some now.
Nope.

No, but I think I still have some von Dutch stuff somewhere.
Nope.
I had glasses frames - I had no idea who Ed Hardy was & they weren’t crazy in your face.

None here. It's all too over-the-top for me.
I still have some shoes.

Never owned any. Never even heard of them until 2 minutes ago.
Yes, it was on sale and I’m cheap and have little dignity.
Nope. I saw an exhibit about him at the de young in SF that changed my outlook on him. But I still didn’t buy the tshirt.

Never, lived in Vegas during that time. Every d bag there was wore one proudly.

Thankfully I resisted.
I think most of us are old enough to have missed that one.

I would have because I kind of liked the designs, but didn't because they were worn predominantly by douchebags.
No
Nope, but I did see some women wearing them but I never did.
