Bobby Hundreds

Obviously the list is debatable. I don't really agree with putting Bobby or Jeff up there. Thoughts?
 
Shawn Stussy is the GOAT

I met him the summer of 2002 and he's a pretty cool *** dude

Bobby absolutely deserves to be up there, IMO. The Hundreds was one of the first that I can remember to really emphasis the L.A. culture and not just the clothes. They sold you on the SoCal aura more so than the gear, if that makes sense.

They're also one of the first street wear brands that I can remember to do the online magazine thing, and do it well.
 
. Ben doesnt belong on the list, but im very sure he mentored or influenced these guys in some way.
 
No complaints with that list at all. They're all deserving.

I'd put Brunetti on that list too tho.
 
Is it popular still? I never see anyone wear it. Only heard about the brand 10 years ago.
 
I'm in NY. Never seen anyone here wear it.

I ain't been to NYC in years but I saw plenty of people wearing it, from hood dudes to skaters. Was it what everyone was on? No but it has a strong loyal customer base.

Stussy ain't never been the hottest brand out there, but damn if they haven't been consistently putting out dope product.
