Bomb Story: At the start, The Hundreds was rooted in the '80s and '90s Southern California subcultures that comprised our youth. One big element of that season was rave culture, and most notably, rave flyers. There are entire Tumblrs and IG pages dedicated to the cult around these pocket-sized party ads. They shared the same glossy die-cut cardstock and early graphic design, but they each held their own emotions and memories from the ensuing events. Til Dawn Adam is referenced from one of the more popular rave flyers of the 1990s. | Background Story: Originating in Scotland as ""tartan,"" we now call this pattern of crisscrossed lines ""Plaid."" Growing up in Southern California during the '80s and '90s, plaid beach volleyball shorts were always in our purview, thanks to labels like Mossimo and Stüssy. When we elevated to making cut-n-sew apparel like button-ups in the early 2000s, plaids made their way into our language as a nod to both the surf culture of the West Coast and Polo's influence on the East. In fact, every plaid speaks to a different subculture. Buffalo plaids were woven into the early New York hip-hop lumberjacks. Shadow plaids on swap meet Pendletons. And The Hundreds plaids, for all.
