Cut & Sewn | The Hundreds Public Label Winter'10

The Hundreds is what originally kicked started my role into the fashion/streetwear world. I was infatuated with the originality and creativity a tee shirt could bring to your image. I remember the first tee shirt I bought from Momentum 8th Street, 'Drawing Black Lines' were printed on the back; being really into painting and drawing... I liked it alot. 

After 13 seasons of heavy representation of The Hundreds goods billboarded over my body. I found myself growing up and out of the typical streetwear look that The Hundreds had been known for in the past. They have always been inspired by hip-hop, skateboarding, surf, punk cultures all reminiscent in the 80's to millennium; all things that I have been influenced by. But lately I have found that I have been leaning towards a more classy, fashionable image.

Years ago, when the first couple cut & sew pieces (selvedge denim, wovens, custom fleece and outerwear) were introduced to The Hundreds line-ups the original concept was to title the collections "Public Label" to give it different look and attract a whole new audience that maybe weren't interested in buying a graphic tee, hoodie or hat. But they ditched the "Public Label" title and released The Hundreds as a whole.

They are bringing "Public Label" as its own line. Focusing on a collection of higher-end, concept driven, wearable goods. A mature look for a modern man; who is into sophisticated looks, quality with palatable colors, and focused on what is 'now' in the fashion world. I truly am stoked on this, I have been more interested on dressing mature, and fashion oriented. I also can appreciate when a brand can properly conduct a concept or look. The Hundreds did not miss a hint of creativity or uniqueness while executing a new concept; important to anyone focused on what is now.

Customer Service

Award Tour has been in my 'go-to' daily blog lists for about a year now. They always keep everything original and fun. I ordered my first shirt after the haiti disaster in February, I thought it was a rad cause and I really liked the shirt. Super stoked when I saw this on the back of the package... 'Saskatoon, What Up. Keep It All Sort Of Funky'.

Recently, Phil and The Award Tour Fam dropped the Friends&Family Collection. Basically, made for the people that have been wanting some Award Tour ink... on a tee. The collection looked super rad, like always... nice and colorful with some great design. I unfortunately missed the drop due to 'Boy's Weekend in Edmonton'. Super bummed out when I realized this traveling between two prairie cities... with no internet. 

Customer Service is probably the most important thing in running an effective and fun business. As you probably already know, I manage a skate boutique-ish shop (Momentum Marketplace) in Saskatoon. I try to keep every customer that walks through the door feel great, by socializing about anything and everything. 

Check out this video of Phil & Friends, sending out the collection. The personalization that is put on every parcel... inspires me. While we get our clothing line designed it reminds me that every detail from the 'packaging' to the 'presentation' is important.

The Friends&Family Look Book

'Hand addressing every single package is one of those ideas that seems great with the first twenty packages…and then begins to get extremely tiring after about eight straight hours of personal time with sharpies, Award Tour shirts, and manila envelopes. But at the end of the day. It’s worth it. We’re firm believers that that hand written personal attention to detail makes all the difference in the world of Twitter, Tumblr, and “text me, don’t call me.” Hopefully you all feel the same, and can live with the fact that it takes a while longer for the packages to arrive on your doorstep.

About half of the packages are in the air as we speak, headed off on their way. The other half are preventing me from leaving my dorm room and should be gone within the next two days. I’m planning on the next drop, we’ll work on having that as quickly as possible as well! Hoping to get full runs of the Relax tees, World Wide, and Ivy Mountains. Perhaps some 1990 Sea Foam’s as well. Hell. We mine as well get them all again. More details to follow.

Thanks for the support everyone. Truly. It means a lot. To see the same people ordering over and over again is really inspiring and the reason I keep throwing these things out there. You guys make the brand what it is. Enjoy the video! Shouts to Ellington on the camera work.'- The Award Tour

Apologies.

As you may have noticed, posting has been minimal lately. We apologize to you followers, we have both been busy with other things. Aristo has been juggling work, and midterms. I have been busy with work, work and more work. Right now, it is busy season at Momentum ... seeing as the weather is changing and we are receiving lots of new product. Also, we are working on designs for a possible t-shirt project we are going to release in about a month. We are really stoked on this. Please stay posted, and ListenUp. Sorry, for the confusion.

HUF Summer 10- Tees and Snapbacks.

HUF has been probably my overall favorite apparel/streetwear line this entire two season span. They always bring that clean look to a colorful and unique concept. They never over-do it. HUF snapbacks are like no other, if you want something that fits properly and looks hella 'tight'... check it.

The burgundy one is mine... (I hope I can have it... haha)

Hope Is Fading Fast.

Freshjive always puts out dope tee's. Like this one... This is from there new "logo-less" campaign. I think this tee is artistically awesome, but not too smart. Obama Era has just begun. I may be wrong but HOPE is still alive.

Single Second.

A streetwear brand, locally bred. Derek and Trevor, brothers, put out there first few styles in Halloween 08. Single Second is "influenced by the occult, religion, metal/hardcore music and nostalgia. Our clothing is used as a medium to voice our own personal beliefs, opinions and interests. We like having things that other people don't, as a result, every line released will be extremely limited in quantity." You can support these rad dudes by stopping by Momentum Marketplace in Saskatoon, and checking out this local clothing line. Quantities are limited, so don't sleep.

Wild Thangs.

Where Are They?... Lakai has just pushed out a New "Where The Wild Things Are" Collab, 2 different skate shoes and 2 different graphic tees. They are SICK! Just enough hype to last until October 16th. They will definately be something to hold on to for a while. Support Spike Jonze and Lakai/Girl Skate Team.

Fucking "Weird".

"Weird" is "Awesome" in my books. Jason Dill and the "Fucking Awesome" crew are at it again. Fall/Winter '09 Collection is super rad. Graphic Tees with a funny and artful meaning, always great. They are trying to sell the t-shirts for what they are, and not whose wearing it. I couldn't see this marketing idea coming from anyone but them.

Drawing Black Lines.

Back to the Basics. The Hundreds is a streetwear clothing based off of California culture and lifestyle. Started as a company made by two college students (Bobby and Ben) that wanted to make a t-shirt company. 6TH year, and they now consist of: Graphic Tees, Cut-Sew Tees, Button Ups, Hoodies, Sweat Shirts, Denim, Pants, Headwear, Footwear and Accessories. This Graphic Tee (6 Steps) is an example of how Bobby & Ben haven't forgot where they came from and what they are all about.

The Hundreds Is Huge...
