It’s been quite a long time since we have seen The Hundreds work on a collaboration with another brand, but now they have decided to work with a few of their industry friends to produce a variety of limited edition t-shirts. Mighty Healthy, Crooks & Castles, and Rogue Status have all produced a t-shirt with The Hundreds and each of these shirts show their individual styles. These specific colorways of the t-shirts won’t be sold online, and they won’t be found in other stores. For those that are interested, you will have an opportunity to get these if you’re in the Los Angeles area next week.
