Bomb Story: Bobby's sole tattoo is by artist Mister Cartoon, an LA icon whose background in lowrider art, graffiti, and streetwear makes him one of the most prolific artists of our time. We've had the fortune of working with Cartoon on several occasions, but in November of 2018, The Hundreds released an expansive capsule collection together. A must-ask piece to seal the deal? A clown interpretation of Adam Bomb...| 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.
