Bomb Story: In October of 2011, The Hundreds had the privilege of collaborating with Eric Dressen. Not only was Eric one of Bobby's favorite skaters as a youth, but he became a renowned tattoo artist. As part of our collection, Eric pieced together a flash art sheet of The Hundreds tattoos. There were three different Adams contributed in the traditional tattoo style and they each make their way back onstage in this encyclopedia of Adam Bombs. | 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.
