Bomb Story: We are proudest not of fashion collections or streetwear pieces, but of the relationships we've built and the next generation we've helped raise. Nothing makes us happier than to see men and women who grew up under The Hundred's tutelage reigning in their own storied careers. Umi Wagoner was one of our first shop employees, who then went on to manage The Hundreds Los Angeles during the foundational RSWD years. He then moved to Tacoma, Washington and opened ETC, a streetwear boutique that holds it down for his community. For ETC's 2-year anniversary, we partnered with Umi and his team on a capsule collection. We offered him our Apple Bomb for the line since Washington is known as the Apple state. This is the unreleased green version of the apple - now you've got both sweet and sour!| Background Story: Originating in Scotland as ""tartan,"" we now call this pattern of crisscrossed lines ""Plaid."" Growing up in Southern California during the '80s and '90s, plaid beach volleyball shorts were always in our purview, thanks to labels like Mossimo and Stüssy. When we elevated to making cut-n-sew apparel like button-ups in the early 2000s, plaids made their way into our language as a nod to both the surf culture of the West Coast and Polo's influence on the East. In fact, every plaid speaks to a different subculture. Buffalo plaids were woven into the early New York hip-hop lumberjacks. Shadow plaids on swap meet Pendletons. And The Hundreds plaids, for all.
