If you’re in LA or San Francisco this weekend, do yourself a favor and stop by The Hundreds.  Not only can you get your hands on a GREEN/420 New Era cap, but also our limited RSWD/POST pinstripe fitteds and baseball tees.

Plus, THSF, you lucky bastards get the exclusive E-40 collaboration t-shirt, the same one that Alex Spit is rocking here while catching up with Sweets (HUF).

Jimmy Gorecki’s wondering why we’re offering a Yankee-ish pinstripe baseball cap in Dodgertown??  Chucky’s got no clue.

ROSEWOOD REPRESENT.

The Hundreds has teamed up with Vallejo’s finest, one of hip-hop’s greatest slang inventors, the incomparable E-40, in order to celebrate the double release of his two new albums, Revenue Retrievin’: Day Shift, and Revenue Retrievin’: Night Shift. The limited edition tee features a selection of E-40′s iconic slang, in the style of liquor store signage, along with the Bomb logo and an E-40 logo at the top back. Exclusively available at THSF this Saturday.

We have  a close friend named Abram Makowka, I know you’ve seen him here and there on the blog for the past 7 years.  Well recently Abram wrote and directed a movie called TUG, which premiered tonight at the Newport Beach Film Festival.  Based on real events in his life, Abram’s film is not only written brilliantly, but stars a great cast. To name a few, Sam Huntington, Sarah Drew, (Abram), Haylie Duff, Wendi McLendon-Covey, and Yeardley Smith:

…not to mention wardrobed here and there by The Hundreds…

THAT’S LISA SIMPSON.!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT.

The cast really bonded, filming for 24 days in Michigan can do that.

Anyways, congratulations Abram, you did it.

In the studio with Bonnie McKee, Mickey Avalon, and Cisco Adler.  It’s inspiring being around music folks honing their craft, it’s an entirely different method and process.  Cisco’s working his producing magic here:

Bonnie’s the virtuoso, she weaves everything together.  Her notebook is scribble after lyric after smudged verse.  Mark my words, she’s what’s next.

She’s working with Cisco on fine-tuning some elements to one of Mickey Avalon’s new songs.  Once they got it dialed…

… he heads into the booth and lays some tracks.

And of course Bonnie chimes in as well.

This Thursday, The Hundreds will release new baseball-inspired Summer RSWD and POST New Era fitted hats. The RSWD New Era is white with black pinstripes, and the POST New Era fitted sports a red & white palette. Along with each hat, there’s also a matching raglan 3/4 sleeve baseball tee. Visit THLA for the RSWD items, and THSF for the POST products.

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but when it comes to The Hundreds knock-offs, we’re far from buttered up.  For the past several years, the bootlegs of our product on the black market has been escalating.. we’ve really done all we can to squash it, but nevertheless everyone from Chinese back alley vendors to American mall kiosks to even American Eagle Outfitters has ripped us off.  What bothers us the most is when we see our own dedicated supporters wearing straight bootleg gear, bummmmer.

So just be aware that this stuff is prevalent out there. If you see The Hundreds product in a suspect retailer, chances are that they didn’t get it from us.  Either they got it backdoored from somewhere else, or it’s fake!  We take pride in distributing The Hundreds in only select, top-tier stores worldwide.  Check our STOCKISTS page for official The Hundreds dealers, and no, we don’t ever sell to mall kiosks.  And most of all, be highly cautious of eBay sellers hawking The Hundreds.  If it seems too good to be true, it usually is.

Get savvy.. Here are some typical FAKE The Hundreds New Era caps, a lot of these have been popping up on eBay and random shops over the past couple years.. Look how retarded Adam Bomb looks (note the spark, the mouth, and the pupils):

This is a repeat offender.  Our famous The Hundreds Side Adam hat was only ever offered in Black, Red, Yellow, and White.  Any other color is a dead giveaway that it’s fake.  Plus, look at how poor quality the embroidery job is.

This fake even tried to mimic our woven label, but the craftsmanship is way off.

And the sticker looks legit at first, but you can see how sloppy the lines are around the flag.

Buy ONLY from authorized The Hundreds stockists or from The Hundreds LA, The Hundreds SF, or our ONLINE SHOP.  Anywhere else, we can’t guarantee the legitimacy. This has been a public service announcement from The Hundreds.

Ben had his big private birthday bash over the weekend, maybe if you were special, you got the invite?  I think he needs to keep it up every year and start rivaling Combs on the party scene.  Anyways, I didn’t have my camera on me so that I could keep my hands free for tacos, but Vito shot this of the twins.  Kinda gives you an idea of how much fun everybody had.

There’s this spot, Boiling Crab, with locations around the Southland.  It’s amazing, if you have time to eat it today, you should.  It’s Southern-style seafood, no utensils or plates really, they dump giant bags of blue crab, lobster, crawfish, you name it, on the table, marinated and drenched in a spicy seasoning.  Baskets of fried catfish and calamari, hot sausages, and corn on the cob, rounded out with frothy beer..

Something I’m trying to figure out though, so maybe someone can explain it for me?  For some reason, all the Boiling Crabs around Southern California are staffed by Asians and draw predominantly Chinese, Vietnamese, and Korean clientele.  What’s the connection?  Interesting!

Joe, James, Heidi, and I about to get our hands dirty.

Maybe not the most appetizing display, but you get the idea.

This isn’t even everything. But it’ll give you a good idea of what’s going on at David Choe‘s NOTHING TO DECLARE, going on now at the new Lazarides Gallery in L.A.

I think this was the highest-priced piece in the show.  Dave’s homey did all the ice cream snacks, that’s all can control.

But this is my favorite piece, by far.  Dave finished this one a few weeks ago, I walked into his studio warehouse and my brains exploded upon seeing it the first time. I was in love.  In all seriousness, he gazed at it and said “This is the best fucking thing I’ve done in my life.”  He was so convinced, he was considering scrapping all the other paintings and starting over in this new direction.  I thought that might be a hasty decision, but reassured him if he wanted to get rid of everything, I’d be a good friend and dump it all for him. Into my home.
