The Hundreds Spring ’17 collection features some heavy hitters, including the quintessential “Campbell” hooded pullover sweatshirt. The hoodie is constructed of 320gsm vintage sherpa fleece in a boxy, oversized fit—sure to keep you warm while looking cool. The checkered puff printing on the sleeves is a nod to ’80s British Ska and the 2 Tone movement that was started by U.K. band, The Specials.
Other bands—influenced by the unique blend of ska, reggae, and punk—fell under the 2 Tone umbrella (The Selecter, The Beat, and Madness, to name a few). The checkered pattern is symbolic of the harmony and racial unity between blacks and whites that 2 Tone represented during that era—a time when racial tensions were high. Obviously, the relevancy of the inspiration behind the “Campbell” stands out now more than ever.
