Bomb Story: In keeping with the timelessness and heritage of The Hundreds, Talkie Adam is inspired by the classic ""talkie"" cartoons of yesteryear like in Mickey Mouse's debut film, Steamboat Willie. Therefore, he is painted in black/white and even his features have been edited to resemble the old-school style of animation.| 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.
