The Hells Angels Motorcycle Club is suing fashion giant Alexander McQueen for allegedly stealing the club's logo.
It is also suing luxury store Saks Fifth Avenue and online retailer Zappos for selling what the Hells Angels regard as offending merchandise.
According to Fritz Clapp, an intellectual property lawyer for the Hells Angels, the items in question included a four finger ring that used the club's winged skull logo.
He said the phrase "Hells Angels" was also used on a pashmina scarf, reports the Daily Telegraph.
Other items with Hells Angels motifs included a £1,500 handbag and a £1,000 dress, the club claimed.
Its legal complaint said trademarks associated with the Hells Angels had "great commercial value" and the fashion house and stores were trying to "exploit that value for their own gain".
The motorcycle club is seeking the removal of the items from sale immediately. Representatives for the fashion house and Saks Fifth Avenue did not comment.

And that fool up there with the pashmina on, Rob Verdi I believe, would crap in his pants if he ever came face to face with a Hell's Angel!

It goes to prove that the pen is mightier then the sword or in the their case the switch blade.
