Bomb Story: The Hundreds started by being rooted in the '80s. Our tagline is literally, ""Since 1980,"" because that was the year that the founders were born. Dimensional Adam sprouted from an era rich in design and illustration: 3D shapes, pop art and geometric shapes.| Background Story: Horizontal stripes, especially of the yarn-dyed variety, are a staple of The Hundreds' collection. Earlier on, they were derived from the surf knits and beachgoer patterns that graced the backs of Californians in the 1980s. Examples include Hang Ten, OP, Quiksilver, and Gotcha. In the following decade, independent skate brands and rave companies capitalized on stripes across boxy, baggy tops. Whether they're fatter stripes across neighborhood-sanctioned Charlie Browns or pinstripes across suiting or a baseball jersey, The Hundreds' stripes speak to a spectrum of subcultures.
