About the original
Hardies Hardware is a San Francisco skate brand founded by photographer and skateboarder Jerry Hsu, producing deck hardware: the bolts and nyloc locknuts used to mount skateboard trucks to a deck. A standard Hardies set includes eight 1-inch Phillips-head machine bolts and eight nylock nuts, sized to fit the universal eight-hole mounting pattern on any standard skate deck. The hardware is commodity specification manufactured to SAE tolerances; Hardies' value is its shop distribution and packaging rather than any proprietary engineering. Standard retail is under $10. The SS23 Supreme version is a co-branded hardware set with Supreme graphics printed on the backing card, produced as part of a broader FW Hardies capsule.
