Bomb Story: At the start, The Hundreds was rooted in the '80s and '90s Southern California subcultures that comprised our youth. One big element of that season was rave culture, and most notably, rave flyers. There are entire Tumblrs and IG pages dedicated to the cult around these pocket-sized party ads. They shared the same glossy die-cut cardstock and early graphic design, but they each held their own emotions and memories from the ensuing events. Til Dawn Adam is referenced from one of the more popular rave flyers of the 1990s. | Background Story: The foundation of The Hundreds is streetwear, and at the foundation of streetwear is the graphic T-shirt. From our beginnings in the Fall of 2003, The Hundreds has relied on the tubular, open-ended cotton of a boxy, blank as our canvas. This is the same T-shirt that Bobby and Ben wore growing up, mixing and matching them 3 for $10 at the local swap meets. The independent skate brands of the 1990s, the streetwear brands of the early 2000s, all co-signed the same cut. Even when the clothing industry chased ringspun apparel or fashion silhouettes, The Hundreds held to the inspirational baseline. Our solid backgrounds are hues from the original swatch card that we built the brand off of.
