Ed Hardy Men's T-Shirts

Ed Hardy Mens T-Shirts

The Ed Hardy label is daring and controversial, prized among tattoo lovers, punksters, indie personalities, and devotees of the counterculture. These T-shirts celebrate all of the liberty, freedom of expression, courage, and down-home spirit that the American mainstream epitomizes.

T-shirts from Ed Hardy are made of 100 percent cotton, 100 percent polyester, or some mixture of the two. Occasionally, Hardy produces styles of shirts containing other materials, such as elastane. However, cotton and polyester are the most commonly used. The shirts are also breathable, lightweight, and durable. You can wear them as base layers during the colder months or as a fun top layer for casual Friday during spring and summer. The wide array of palettes and iconic designs gives you many wardrobe options.

Although mens tops from Ed Hardy are made in the USA, Asia, and Europe, there is no single, location-specific workforce or country. In the early 2000s, Ed Hardy began licensing his brand name. This gave third parties the legal right to produce and sell branded clothing. As a result, Ed Hardy mens tops are made in many different places, such as:

• Mexico
• Indonesia
• Portugal

Christian Audigier was a French artist and fashion designer who worked for Ed Hardy. During his tenure at Hardy, Audigier curated the companys most iconic prints, such as roses, tigers, and skulls. With the licensing agreements that jelled in the early 2000s, Audigier brought much attention to these prints, allowing them to be reproduced on T-shirts, jeans, sweatshirts, jewelry, vodka, wine, air fresheners, and perfumes. A few examples of his curated Hardy fashions include:

• King Dog
• Death Before Dishonor
• Red Snakes
• Beautiful Ghost
• Hearts and Daggers

Some Ed Hardy T-shirts have a vintage look created at the factory. The tees are washed and distressed to look worn, and the collars or sleeves have raw edges to evoke a rugged, threadbare quality.

Although there are no particular collections that possess these details, the T-shirts that are washed and have raw edges occur randomly, appearing and reappearing every so often. The "Made in the EDH" and "We Live With the Scars We Choose" T-shirts are two examples.

Their T-shirts tend to fit small or one size down from standard U.S. clothing sizes. With T-shirts, the array of available sizes corresponds to your chest measurement. In standard U.S. mens clothing sizes, chest measurements of 33 to 34 inches correspond to XS, 35 to 37 inches is S, 38 to 40 inches is M, 42 to 44 inches is L, 46 to 48 inches is XL, 50 to 52 inches is 2XL, and 54 to 56 inches is 3XL. To be safe, measure your chest, find the corresponding standard size, and then order one or two sizes up.
