Bomb Story: In the middle of the pandemic, we couldn't sell enough jigsaw puzzles. It seemed like the entire world had delved into the art of baking banana bread, tie-dying sweats, and working on 1,000-piece puzzles to pass the lockdown. Puzzle Adam is dedicated to this strange season of our lives, but was initially introduced in the Spring of 2011. | 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.
