Ed Hardy quality, it's about where you buy it from!

Take a good look at this Ed Hardy rhinestone hat. Try to find what's wrong with it. Click to the pictures to enlarge them to get a really good look. Once you've examined closely scroll down to see what the answer is.

You're probably wondering if this cap is a fake. This hat is very real and is featuring the very hot new rose tattoo "True Til Death" image, at full regular price this hat would set you back $150.

So what's wrong with this hat? Well it's missing 2 rhinestones. One on the top right hand corner of the rose and another one between the A and T in word Death. Quite honestly most people wouldn't notice and some retailers probably would sell it to you at full price and not say anything.

Ed Hardy products quality wise is generally great. However, there's always going to be something wrong. At Tru Drama we meticulously inspect every item we get (Ed Hardy or otherwise) for damage when we receive the goods. We recognize that our customers are paying a premium price for a high profile item and it's important to get a 100% of what you're buying not 98% of it.

We'll return this hat to the Canadian distributor. It'll probably get sold to a discounter and then it'll probably in the hands of an internet retailer that will still try to sell it at full price. Most internet retailers or eBay sellers simply won't have this level of quality control. The best way to ensure authenticity and and quality is purchase your product from a reputable retailer.
