Bomb Story: Much of The Hundreds' design inspiration pulls from '80s and '90s memories. While YouTube and Netflix rule the stage today, Saturday morning cartoons and after-school television were hallmarks of our youth. Over the years, we've been fortunate enough to collaborate with some of these animation properties like Garfield and Disney. Some of our favorite projects have been with Warner Bros. and the Looney Tunes franchise, as they remind us of classical cartoons and old-school entertainment.| 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.
