Bomb Story: Repeating patterns, including animal prints, are key to The Hundreds branding. We've consistently returned to leopard print over the years because of its ties to classic Americana, punk music, '80s throwbacks, and high fashion. The Frankly series imagined leopard print in a series of oddball colors that lined up with The Hundreds' aesthetic.| 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.
