Bomb Story: For several years, The Hundreds compiled a collection exclusively for Hawaiian retail partners, entitled The Hundreds Hawaii. Pineapple Adam was offered in this collection. Little known fact, for some reason, the designer who worked on this wrote, ""Mahalo"" (translated as ""Thank You"") instead of something more like ""Aloha,"" underneath the character. We were too late to catch the mistake and so Hawaiian retailers used the imagery as window decals to show their customers gratitude.| Background Story:
The foundation of The Hundreds is streetwear, and at the foundation of streetwear is the graphic T-shirt. From our beginnings in the Fall of 2003, The Hundreds has relied on the tubular, open-ended cotton of a boxy, blank as our canvas. This is the same T-shirt that Bobby and Ben wore growing up, mixing and matching them 3 for $10 at the local swap meets. The independent skate brands of the 1990s, the streetwear brands of the early 2000s, all co-signed the same cut. Even when the clothing industry chased ringspun apparel or fashion silhouettes, The Hundreds held to the inspirational baseline. Our solid backgrounds are hues from the original swatch card that we built the brand off of.
