Hundreds Upon Hundreds

Digital Gravel has released new spring pieces from the The Hundreds. Spring always seems to bring the best graphic tees from The Hundreds camp, and this season appears to be no exception. That doesn’t mean you can afford to sleep on the cut & sew though, so check out some of the highlights below.

Alright, so these jeans are straight leg with a bit of a relaxed fit, and for that, I applaud The Hundreds. As much as I like nice denim, I like burritos, pizza, and wings even more, so it’s nice to see a cut that’s not going to cause us healthy eaters to bust a vein. But what’s up with all the patches? Just when I thought those NBA jeans and those other patchwork jeans had gone the way of the buffalo, we get these. Sheesh. Not for me, that’s for sure.

I posted about this tee earlier and I’m psyched to see it coming in green as well. Black is great and all, but color is not your enemy!

A lot of you probably never set foot in a pair of shorts, but for those willing to show a little leg, The Hundreds got pretty creative with these denim shorts. The striping and red buttons at the pockets really bring out that choo choo train vibe that fixie riding punxxx will love.

Remember when I said The Hundreds needs to look out for us, erm, healthy eaters? It’s like they read my mind. I mean, this is probably a Supersize Me style commentary on American fast food consumption, but the only question it raises to me is how soon until lunch?

The super thin stripes on this hoody make a huge difference in setting a a basic two tone hoody apart. At $88, the custom body is well worth the price of admission.

Oh man. This is perfect, just subtle enough for anybody, law abiding or otherwise, to appreciate the message without going all NWA on ‘em and getting followed around by the fuzz.

I’m a big fan of the Jags pattern that The Hundreds are popularizing. Rather than run cement print through the wash for the umpteenth time, they’ve created an interesting pattern that is easily applied in a number of colors and garments. These Skittles styled snapbacks might be too loud for some, but to me it’s just one more reminder that warm weather is on it’s way back soon.

Intentional or not, I love the commentary on the plethora of skeletal imagery that so many companies have been milking for years. Nice choice on the font as well.

I’ll admit that I’m not the biggest fan of the varsity jacket style. Way I remember it, the guys wearing these were the dicks who pushed us around and dated the girls we all drooled over in high school. I don’t really look back on that fondly, so why put their uniform on? The lettering on this piece is definitely in line with The Hundreds identity though, and if you’re one of those guys I’m talking about and your old wrestling jacket is drifting past vintage and into garbage, maybe this is for you. I still think you’re a jerk though, and I want my lunch money back.

These pieces and more are available now at Digital Gravel and will be shipping to local dealers before long.
