It’s a really really good documentary!! When I say riveting, I mean it.. I had a couple t-shirts and a trucker hat from the brand back in the day, I actually still have the t-shirts, but I had no idea about all this fiasco behind it… it’s exciting and sad all in one.. so much emotions in one show man… can’t give away too much, but if you’re into fashion, or business, or the business of fashion, or if you’re just looking for a good modern documentary, this is it!!
I miss Y2k so much, the 2000's were amazing. And this reminds me of my Von Dutch days in the 2000s. And Crazytown Butterfly was so perfect for this intro!
I’m going to a Y2K themed bday party tonight and I had a trucker hat airbrushed with the iconic “Von Dutch” logo 😂 I had a few hats back in the day, and I just remember we had them in EVERY color!
Very very very good documentary!! It is definitely worth the watch. In my humble opinion I believe Mike, Bobby, and Ed should have been sole owners of the brand. Mike and Bobby had the heart and vision of what the artist himself would want his brand to be and more. Ed carried the rights because of the permission he received from the daughter's of von dutch.
But they were absolutely awful businessmen. If Tonny didn’t enter the picture it would have been bankrupt and never exploded. Mike and Bobby are hypocrites what they did to Ed is what Tonny did to them
This was really good!! Their stories were very interesting especially Bobby was crazy I wouldnt have expected to end the way it did. And Mark was deff scammed.. He deserved better.
I totally believe Mark and Bobby were in love, it makes so much sense. Like Mark flipped when Bobby brought his girlfriend around, and pretty much isolated Bobby from every other woman in his life except I believe Mark couldn’t actually verbalize his feelings so he would become violent instead. It’s sad though the way they both ended up. Like start to finish their lives were so sad. 😣
This is a very well done documentary. Lots of content, many conflicting views and information of the brand, players and history that I had no idea about.
The real Von Dutch, a reclusive artist & pin striper who lived in an old bus, would never have had anything to do with this. He's no doubt puking in his grave over what his family did to his name after his death.
Makes me wonder if he deliberately wrote that "N-bomb" letter as a ticking timebomb for anyone who tried to capitalize on his work & name after he died. After all, that guy was known as an asocial troll.

@@bbygrlpt2 lol u didnt make it to episode 3.... the brand is tied to nazis after they dived into Von Dutch's history and racist quotes If you would rock swastika, go for it
I watched this recently on Prime-I just saw it there and was intrigued-binged the whole thing! The music and atmosphere brought me back to the 2000s, the end of middle school and all through high school and college, the nostalgia was palpable and exciting. This documentary was well done. I didn't know about the clothing, I remember the flying eyeball, but I always knew Von Dutch for hotrods, flames, and pinstripes. I'm so glad I didn't remember first hand all the reality tv, nonsense, and gratuitous branding. I completely agree with the "no respect". It's sad, but nothing new that multiple people will claim creation, the interviews were all professional and fair. It was cool seeing the man behind it all, but as for the letter, with no corroboration, I won't belive it's alleged legitimacy and won't judge the man by today. I found it a little hypocritical that they were worried about all the counterfeits when they got their start, buying Levi's and replacing the label with theirs.
"Nothing is original, everything has been done before" - Von Dutch We were thinking of making low cut denim with a new style of stitching. Mike: "No! that's not original"
All these comments a year ago. I'm in the video with Ed Boswell in my fine art screen printing studio. I'm the one on the right at 1:18 with the white/red checked shirt. I was doing the separations for screen printing the Flying Eyeball and Von Dutch with the Triumph swirl. This was 1995 and Ed already had a Mechanic's Clothing Line and had Von Dutch patches and screen print Flying Eyeball on clothing. Ed was the only honorable guy in the whole story.
I don't think there's any way the series could be as enterntaining as the trailer. It sounds like it was written by Jean-Ralphio on Parks and Rec. "Girls at block parties ... champagne .... private jets ...... Paris jumped out of a cake!"
Paris and the rest of that glitz is only filmed for all of 3 minutes. The entire documentary centres around the men that created it, their stories are absolutely riveting like I just finished them all and I’m mad there isn’t some sort of sequel where we can see what’s going on in their lives! 😂
Hi TH-cam some of you may have watched the story on Von Dutch and how the company was created in this documentary it involves lies about what really happened with my stepfathers brother And family in the last episode they only give my uncle less then five minutes to talk about his brother how would you guys like to hear the real story from the last of the Rivas boys themselves?
I remember back in 4th girl, my friend took a baseball bat to this 5th grade girl's arm and almost broke it because she threw her pink von dutch hat in the trash.
The most comprehensive story of Dutch is told in the book "The Art of Von Dutch". I am proud to be one of the few people who Dutch would tolerate on a daily basis, and the whole fiasco resulting from his daughters' selling the rights to his logo after he passed is sad. He was an absolute genius: being the Father of Modern Pinstriping made him an icon in the Kustom Kulture movement, but he was so much more. As an artist, he impressed Pablo Picasso so much that Picasso wanted him to be his protege. He was a jazz flautist, master knife and gun maker, and when in high school in Compton was known as " The Fastest Man in L.A." The documentary got one thing right about Dutch: he hated celebrities, posers and self-important types, and would be rolling in his grave at how his name was commercialized. He hated his own celebrity too, saying "all I care about is doing good work". His good friend Steve McQueen felt the same way about his own celebrity . Steve hired Dutch to be his bodyguard after the Manson killings(he was supposed to be at the party, but got 'sidetracked' by some sweet young hottie). When Steve introduced him to another friend, Bruce Lee, Lee tried to impress Dutch by saying he could knock him back off his feet with just an open palm a couple of inches off his chest. Dutch said "well that's OK when you're in Japan and everyone is packed together like sardines, but what do you do if someone does this?" and pulled out his gun and put it to Lee's forehead.(Lee was terrified of guns). That ended Dutch's bodyguard job with Steve :).
That’d be a lot more of a statement 15 years ago when any of those brands were still relevant. You’re basically saying you wouldn’t wear clothes from a thrift store.
I got my first Fubu shirt in 1996, my 8th grade year and my first pair of Nike Air Force 1’s. I got made fun of because I was living in Miami where nobody was familiar with New York hip hop clothing. But when I started freshman year the following year, where the presence of hip hop gear was already popular with the older students, everybody that laughed at me changed their tune and apologized because I was the game changer. Soon they all started rocking the urban gear. Nowadays I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing fubu,lol
1st I'm smart enough not to purchase clothing or anything just for the name. 2nd the huge Von Dutch patch is so gaudy, it's as bad as a trucker hat from the 70s with a huge patch that says "Hey Good Buddy!" So I would never wear such a hat.
Made the mistake of starting to watch this at midnight…couldn’t stop. Amazing story. And a lot of emotions

Guys... watch this now! I've only seen the first episode, but its crazy! Major 90s-2000's nostalgia too. 👏🏼🙌🏼
That’s so true, but it’s more than nostalgia
One of the best documentaries I've watched this year. I could listen to Bobby tell stories all day
This guy felt more entitled to the brand than anybody else.
Very very very good documentary!! It is definitely worth the watch. In my humble opinion I believe Mike, Bobby, and Ed should have been sole owners of the brand.

The story of Von Dutch is what movie and tv producers wish they created.
I'm always amazed at the amount of money people will spend to be a walking billboard for someone else.
I have never thought about like that thats so true
Yes exactly my ex said that to me once and it msd emergency thi k about it. I have never worn a brand except shoes ever.
I won’t advertise unless they’re paying ME 😂🤣🤣
The Nostalgia of this documentary is amazing 😍😍😍😍

That point is made very clear in the documentary, hence the curse
@@Ahreigh Thank you for letting me know. I have no interest in it myself.
@@joestephan1111 watch it ..... the end is satisfying ... Von dutch is laughing in his grave holding two middle fingers !

Felt like Jeff Lowe was about to come out in this documentary too. Theirs so much darkness in this one brand that I never knew about
I like how some lyrics of the song actually tie in to what’s going on.
Can you explain please?
That was well done!!! I almost went on the Von Dutch website and ordered a new one until I saw the end of the second episode!!!
I said to my wife watch it’s going to make a come back until I seen towards the end and said whoa? maybe not lol
@@STRAIGHTEDGEJAKE Wait why not? I watched it its still sellin stuff right?

Look at that new movie on the house of Gucci.... Power corrupt s ..absolutely....

Wow she looks amazing
Never put anything on my body that said Von Dutch, Abercrombie, fubu, North Face, or Supreme. I'm not a billboard, leave that sh-t to the drones.

Yet nobody knows who Kenneth Howard is...
Not until the very end. Don't spoil it for those who haven't seen it. Lololol I had a good laugh at the end.
Exactly. If you are actually a fan of Kenny Howard‘s art, people will think you’re some sort of fashion shmuck for wearing it.
cine te-o inntrebat
This has netflix written all over it....
Netflix would stretch it out to five one hour episodes that they could easily put in a hour and a half movie They wreck shows by doing that
but it's Hulu!!!
It literally has Hulu written all over it. Lol.
This is literally hulu's channel bruh bruh.
My name is Mark I created Von Dutch
Wasn't good @ all, kinda boring & lame
