Bomb Story: To celebrate The Hundreds San Francisco's 3-year Anniversary, we printed an extremely limited run of T-shirts showcasing an Adam Bomb filled with a photo of the black cavernous rock that made up the shop's interior. At the time, THSF was considered one of the most impressive retail experiences in the world, although admittedly not the most conducive shopping experience! Dimly lit and molded from the caves where the Gold Rush started up north, the design was inspired by Peter Pan's Lost Boys, 2001: A Space Odyssey and the French catacombs.| Background Story: If there was ever a pattern that encapsulated The Hundreds, it would be Paisley. Our first big hit, the one that put us on the map, was the all-over-print Paisley hoodie from 2005. There's an unabridged version of this story in Bobby's book, but that sweatshirt sold so much, and sold out so quickly overnight, that we allocated all of those funds to building our first flagship retail store on the corner of Fairfax and Rosewood. The pattern was designed in 2004, on a lesser-remembered piece called the ""Bandana"" zip-up. Over the years, those clusters of buta droplets continued onto The Hundreds T-shirts, across cut-n-sew collections, New Era fitteds, and collaborations with artists. The Paisley print not only defined us, but greater streetwear, as it trickled down into the work of later brands and designers.
