Anyone in the world could have bought and applied Von Dutch stripes, by mail order.... I bet you didn't know!

"Will not chip peel or fade"... so could any of these still be out there?

The best interview of Von Dutch I've read, and you've never seen it before, Feb 1956 Car Craft





There. I just saved anyone who wanted to read this about 10 dollars from not buying a copy on EBay. You know, I just hate when someone will sell you something they won't share. Is that a problem?


For another interview I haven't looked at yet: http://www.tcarlson.ca/vondutch.html
