I ran across this rare interview with Von Dutch where he talks about the beginning of the modern pinstripe style. Its debatable as to whether he or "the Baron" originated what we now know as pinstriping but Von Dutch is the man either way...and quite the character. Too bad his own daughters sold his namesake and logo to the same douchey guy who does those hideous Ed Hardy designs. Its quite ironic that his legacy, for most of the uneducated, is now related to trucker hats and over-priced t-shirts...he is rolling in his grave thats for sure!
