Bomb Story: Bobby learned how to draw by reading Garfield comics. His childhood bedroom was adorned with Garfield licensed home goods and stationery supplies. When asked what his favorite collaboration was, Bobby usually says Jim Davis and Garfield. There are so many parallels between the enterprises we built (his on a much larger scale). For one, Garfield is a story about a man and his pet cat. Likewise, The Hundreds has a lot to do with Bobby's (and Ben's) relationship with Adam Bomb (plus, Adam never speaks!). Friend Adam is a version of our mascot if he were to have guested on the '80s Saturday morning cartoon, Garfield and Friends.| Background Story: If there was ever a pattern that encapsulated The Hundreds, it would be Paisley. Our first big hit, the one that put us on the map, was the all-over-print Paisley hoodie from 2005. There's an unabridged version of this story in Bobby's book, but that sweatshirt sold so much, and sold out so quickly overnight, that we allocated all of those funds to building our first flagship retail store on the corner of Fairfax and Rosewood. The pattern was designed in 2004, on a lesser-remembered piece called the ""Bandana"" zip-up. Over the years, those clusters of buta droplets continued onto The Hundreds T-shirts, across cut-n-sew collections, New Era fitteds, and collaborations with artists. The Paisley print not only defined us, but greater streetwear, as it trickled down into the work of later brands and designers.
