From the day we launched the brand and complementary webzine, there was not a question in our mind that someday, we’d have our own retail store to round out The Hundreds lifestyle. So when we staked out studio space on the Fairfax block in Los Angeles a year and a half ago, we had already plotted the future home of The Hundreds’ very own shop. What better way to educate our supporters on The Hundreds experience than with our own space in the world?
The opening date will be announced shortly after this blog is posted, and I’ll also let you know that all 3 collaborative t-shirts will be sold on opening day. These shirts will not be sold in any other stores, except for the respective brands’ own websites, which will stock their own exclusive, alternate, colorways.
Also, we will be selling both the red and white colorways of the Lumberjacket zip-up hoody by The Hundreds Public Label. Both pieces are extremely limited, with the red Lumberjacket totaling a mere 15 pieces.
Furthermore, our site will be going down, and re-open at the exact minute that the retail store opens with some new added features, so even if you’re not in town, you’ll be able to partake in the experience online.
See you on Rosewood..

I think it’s safe to say, judging by today’s turnout in San Diego, that this year’s Agenda Show is by far the most successful exhibition in the history of the local independent tradeshow. Attributable to the decaying ASR tradeshow across the way, the waning action-sports industry, and the rising popularity of the streetwear market, Agenda 2007 is perhaps just another sign that our genre of apparel is experiencing a dramatic evolution of sorts.
Ronnie B (Shadow Conspiracy) and Danny (Freshjive) jivin’.
Archrival. From downtown LA to SD.
Hector’s all fives at the Triko booth.
Slavedriver Andrew made Johan work all by his lonesome at the 3sixteen booth.
Shalom, peace, and all that good stuff.
Speakin’ of Shalom, here’s Beautiful Society’s collab fitted with Jacob.
Perhaps my top pick for the show, Beautiful Society racked their brains on how to distinguish themselves from all the other t-shirt brands in the market, by licensing all the temperature-changing inks and fabric dyes for their garments.. Check what happens to the hat once it’s hit sunlight for a second..
Even t-shirt graphics flip from tonal reds to dark blacks in a matter of seconds. Hypercolor what!!!
The MVP. Josh from 10Deep.
Diz. Cold chillin’…
Mike Giant inking at the Rebel8 booth!
Tools of the trade..
Menso’s fresh Seventh Letter stamp. Where’re the bolt cutters at homes!? Speakin’ of the Seventh, the guys put on the Dilated Peoples show tonight…
but unfortunately we couldn’t make it because we drove back up to LA in the middle of the night, and I’m exhausted, and it’s late, and I’m going to slee..zzzzzz

It’s been a while since we’ve opened our brand to any collaborative projects. But on the eve of a milestone occasion, we felt compelled to work with some of our closest brethren to celebrate. Sorry, these specific colorways of these limited tees won’t be sold online, and they won’t be found in other stores. But you will have your opportunity to get this batch of collabs soon if you’re in the Los Angeles area next week.
Thank you for all the support and strength: (Mighty Healthy), (Crooks & Castles), and (Rogue Status).

Dear ______ ,
I am happy to inform you that Rockers NYC have officially launched the coolest website since Huf’s and Han Cholo’s (which is still pretty cool).
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Bobby Hundreds

I got into work late this morning and found Johan from ROGUE STATUS on our couch, makin’ moves, hustlin’, and wreckin’ all kinds of shop. Keep your eye on ROGUE in ‘07. By this time next year, you’ll reminisce on this post and go “Hmm, that Bobby guy really knew what he was talking about. Ever since Rogue Status blew up, Airwalk retroed the NTS2, and Nick Diamond celebrated his 47th birthday.. man, I should really listen to Bobby from now on, instead of pouring my coffee on the monitor everytime I read one of his cornball blogs.”
Speaking of senseless acts of destruction, have you ever tried getting paid by Dominick Deluca from Brooklyn Projects? It’s about as fun as swallowing glass shards on horseback. The next time I have a bitter enemy, I’m gonna send him down to Dom to discuss money matters. Nevermind, I might go to jail for that.
So for all you brand upstarts out there who are wondering how the selling/buying process goes (attention: all the kids who email me every morning with subject headers like “YO DAWG CHECK OUT MY NEW TSHIRT LINE CALLED “KNIVES AND ROBBERS” AND PUT IT ON YOUR BLOG BECAUSE IT’S THE BEST. OH AND LISTEN TO MY NEW ALBUM. BALLLLLLLIN”), it’s actually pretty simple. After showing the store buyer/manager your linesheet, you deliver your product and either get paid up-front (COD), terms (net-30, 60, etc.), or consignment if you really really hate yourself. Then you get paid. Easy, right?..
..WRONG!
These photos were taken over the course of an hour and a half. Just imagine a lot of profanity, thrown objects, rolling eyes, kicking/stomping, delusions of grandeur, profanity, brandished weapons, ’30s style boxing, a mangled cat, and profanity.
Oh Dom, you know we love you.
As long as we get paid. Haha just kidding. Kinda. Not really.

Nick Tershay (Diamond) turned 46* today. He had his birthday party in Hollywood, which was to the brim with all the heads*. Especially for a Tuesday night.
Brandon (Han Cholo), who is known for making the illest jewelry, wrestling Russian bears*, and simultaneously having the world’s most impressive website, shows off some of his newest wares.
Mega and Keith love to dance, party, and smile. They would make horrible, yet well-coordinated, serial killers*. They came down from the Bay just for Nick’s party, then flyin’ up tomorrow for JB’s party!
Did you notice the Birthday Boy himself lurking in the background like a Where’s Waldo? Happy 46th* brother.
Sorry I don’t got more pix, but a headless, karaoke-singing giant, with a solar-powered top-hat tackled me and devoured my insides****.
*THIS MAY OR MAY NOT BE A LIE.
