"Do you want to be 40 years old and realize you spent the entirety of your life doing something you don't really never cared about?" That's my life now. Yesterday I was 22. Today I'm 40. My passions were all buried because of bills to pay, took a job that was never supposed to be a 'career', but here I am decades later because life happened. Parents get sick, relatives die, but bills keep coming, so I kept working... No more. I am not going to wake up at 45 and regret another 5 years of my life. I'd rather eat ramen noodles and bologna to at least take a shot enjoying life now, instead of working in a job/career I absolutely LOATHE and never want to think about again.
Michael Cole you just inspired me, I am 28 and feeling I lost 9 years of my life doing something I hate because the money is good... I am soon going to quit and follow my passion
I stumbled upon this interview while looking for "how to" videos for tshirt making. Took a gamble and watched it and glad I did. This interview was veeeeery good. Felt it in my bones.
Bobby being inspirational as always! I emailed him once, asking for his secret of success, and he replied "i could be out doing whatever, but i'm here replying to you! Much respect from Greece Bobby! Long Live The Hundreds
MrThanospete you got played I worked at the hundreds headquarters warehouse, he probably was out doing whatever cause I know the girl who answers those emails, that's why u got an answer that wasn't the answer to your question, it was just a cheap thrill to make you feel like your special and he's actually taking the time to give a shit about anything other than making sure people get a rinky dink response to emails from a random person in a cubical, he's gotta make sure people get buttered up so they'll want to send him their bread, and I bet u bought a t shit huh haha ya dummy.
@@luciancastillo1337 well some idiots gotta pay for the gas in his DeLorean, Lord knows business for them ain't what it used to be, they sure ain't no TH Tommy Hilfiger haha
This has been a pleasure to watch.... produced like a real Doc, gave it that art edge and great questions. Complex please fire everyone that was not involved with this and just make more of these.
I am 43. I can not even tell you the number of things I have worked on, repaired, built. From cars to wood, to vinyl, to electronics and computers. About 6 years ago my business took a shit and I was homeless for a year. The last 4 or 5 years have taken a toll on me. I have wanted to do nothing. I found this video and you inspired me to get off my ass and get back out there.
I've been going 14 years and had to stop for a second because nothing is working anymore, videos like this are always nice because as they say, inspiration comes from many different places.
The fact this episode is 4 years to date is insane. Complex, the new 'Blueprint' series is good but the 'OG' series were and still are full of greatness. I respect and truly admire every single thing you all do as a company, thank you.
i guess im asking the wrong place but does any of you know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid forgot my account password. I appreciate any tips you can give me!
The cinematography and choices they made for coverage they used in this is really excellent. A great lesson in how to produce engaging, beautifually shot content. Well done.
I love this guy. Community > fashion. People are so busy shedding out to look cool. Being cool comes from within, clothes are just an accesory of LIFE.
I wore the hundreds almost exclusively from 20-29 I'm 32 now with a family and a business, and I still wear my favorite hundreds shirts. They encapsulate my childhood in a way. The art, the slate culture, and most importantly the dream. The dream of living a life you love. That you dont need a vacation from. Thank you to Bobby and the whole hundreds family for keeping that magic alive. I'm proud to say I'm aging with and not aging out of the hundreds.
As a small business owner this is incredible and so transparent with the reality of what it takes to keep your head above ground from week to week! Good on you man! Props to what you've built and what you'll continue to build!
Bobby was my inspiration to start my Brand....its not off the ground just yet...and as I'm sitting here typing this comment, I'm wearing the black "HUGE 1980" pocket tee...people come into my local skate shop "Clockwork" in my hometown Macon, Georgia and ask me every time "do y'all have anymore Hundreds shirts with the atom bomb on it?" And that amazes me because to me the Atom Bomb is a staple in the fashion world...my love for the Hundreds will never die...and I'm so inspired it...its HUGE
Man this is encouraging, been in the clothing industry for some years... Gave up at some point but promised myself to make it happen regardless of those who didn't buy my dream. Bless y'all THE 💯s ,
I’m 24 and quit my job to chase the dream... spend 8k on a DTG machine and have graphic design skills. I figure try it now before it’s too late. I’ll die trying at least.
All the best, im 18 and im trying something similar but with a budget, so i planning to use a cameo and heatpress for a start. Any suggestion ? And how is your business doing ? sounds like you got a interesting story to share
@@lijingxin6045 Its been pretty rough the learing curve of printing was longer then expected. But now my prints are finally good and been selling decent amount of shirts through IG. Even though I had 14 followers still managed $300 a week. Still not profitable as I reinvest the money into ads and buying other things to sell. But in the month was able to do $1.3k revenue. Only time will tell if I can actually make it profitable.
You seriously should have looked at print on demand. Don't have to worry about logistics. Only thing you have to do is design. No up front cost at all. Maybe less profits, but that's the way.
This is super rad dudes! I'm starting a streetwear brand myself (its my 4rth label) so I know a lot about these struggles. But it's really inspiring to see how people persevere and remain passionate even in the midst of adversity. The actual documentary is great as well. The production is really fresh! Mad love to the Complex crew!
And the products are sick right??I have Stussy,Grizzly,Carhartt,HUF,Thrasher and many others and from all of those this one Zip Hoodie from The hundreds still one of my favorites plus the collab with Death Row,which is insane.
I’m so happy I found this video I’m literally going through the same thing, and when he started talking about getting a job to fund the hobby by going to law school, i literally got goosebumps. Because I’m first year biology in Ontario and I had a lot of opportunities for me but after reflection of a year and realizing I will never be happy doing this I’m applying to a graphic design course and taking art classes and reading books about art and indulging my self into this life style and it has never been more liberating.
Been rocking the hundreds since I was a freshman in highscool. Im 20 now and ill admit it may seem like it fell off a bit but im still rockin and coppin this brand happily, because I love it.
That's probably the best blueprint episode I've ever seen. But I learned a lot from it. one thing you need to know about art is that it never gets out dated it just needs to be repainted.
No words..Amazing & inspirational video for those who have the dream of leaving their mark (brand) in this world.Great video complex and props the OG Bobby.For me the Death Row x The Hundreds the sickest collaboration yet.Copped 2 Tees of that classic mashup
Love how his motive was not to sell shirts and he actually cared about something awesome but still (out of wisdom) aligned himself with someone who was willing to hit the ground running with the sales part. #balance ...I really want a hundreds shirt now too lol
This was powerful. Just got some Hundreds gear since going to Rosewood in ‘08. Great to see they’ve been around 20 years. Nostalgic and still cool. The Hundreds is legacy now.
Came to watch 1-2mins and ended up watching the whole vid. Loved the interview and learning about The Hundreds. What a real guy. Keep up the passion! Very inspiring story.
Excellent episode... thanks for this. I remember my first Adam Bomb t, got it around 2008... and was stolen by the pool when I was in Bali... damnnn... hats off the hundreds...
I’m 13yo and when i’ll be able to work I will keep my money to realize my dream, making my own af1, and some leather goods. I know that it will cost a lot of money but it’s a dream and a passion. Even if it takes me 10 years to come this project to life, I’ll wait.
This video gave me goosebumps and it made stop and think about my life for a second because it's true, you really should be doing what you love regardless of what the world says. I remember when I was in HS The Hundreds was a thing even though the brand wasn't popular in the HS I was in, some people would wear it but regardless of the fact, I used to see this shit all over social media, specially Tumblr. Even though I only owned one shirt from them because I was poor I loved loved LOVED The Hundreds but also, I'm not from the US so at that time I really wasn't up to date nor cared about what was hip and what was not, fashion, clothes, etc. I feel like if I was up to date I would've had a lot more clothes from the brand. I graduated HS, hell graduated College and it's like, this is just not for me anymore, I changed and so did the way I dress. I will still eventually buy The Hundreds, though, I only have one shirt from them that I bought in September of 2012, it is now 2017 and I still have that shirt I still wear it and it still looks great because of course the quality is great. Needless to say, I think the brand is very original and different from the rest of the "street wear" brands. I'm into art a little and this really is art not a clothing brand but art, I always said this and me now knowing that this is what Bobby thinks of it as well makes me respect it even more. The art for it is amazing, the dopest designs I've seen always came from The Hundreds, not Stussy, not TI$A not Obey not Diamond Supply, but The Hundreds. This video was very inspirational to watch, the most I've seen in years. Not sure why The Hundreds is not a trending topic like Palace and Supreme and I'm not sure if they're still a thing or not since I haven't heard from them in years and I don't keep up with things, but I whole heartedly hope this brand becomes the talk of the town everywhere again and I hope it remains in the business forever.
I'm 32 years old & just decided to start a brand with a friend of mine. I remember being in High School talking about doing something together but other shit just got in the way. Too busy wasting money on other things. I even tried doing my own line in College Broke as Fuck I printed out a few shirts & crewnecks that soldout the 1st day. Everyone loved the brand but I never trademarked it or anything so I stopped and Slacked. (til this day I have people asking me about it) But yeah almost 2 years ago I became a father & that's when everything changed for me. I couldn't stand the thought of not following my dream and KHRUMS was created. The Hype isn't as big as my old brand but this time I feel much more ready & confident & IDC how well it does, I'm just glad I decided to go for it.
Extremely inspirational!!! Here I am doing my day job, delivering furniture, envisioning exactly what to do next, specially being a new father this year, it's not for me anymore, it's for my child. Thank you guys for the inspiration!
I don't know what Complex is but I'm subscribing anyway. This interview is incredible! You introduced The Hundreds in a way that is compelling and real, showing the company from a bird's view down to intimate give-all, like a director's cut that has everything you would ask for. And thanks for the inspiration, The Hundreds. You stood with your brand because it has history that included you, and to sell it is to give away all that. Your belief in what you stand in made you successful and will continue to do just that for many more years. cheers from Toronto!
Always really respected this guy even though I know he got a lot of heat after the brand kind of went south. Hundreds will always have a special place in my heart because it was at it's peak when I was just getting into streetwear.
This is such a good doc. Damn he's an artist. This is the first time I've heard about the Hundreds and I really felt like it's an OG brand. I felt the weight in every word he said. Doc captured the most important things.
I love 💣The Hundreds because when my favorite collared shirt was sold out, I reached out to the guys & they actually managed to make me one more! 👍 Thank you guys so much!
This dude has given everything to creating something of substance and putting it out in the world. Even with the recognition they've received over the years, The Hundreds is still one of the most under appreciated apparel brands of all time. Every season they come with a catalog of not only hand drawn and original graphic tees but a full high quality cut and sew program.. the amount of work that goes into producing such full scale lines would blow peoples minds. And with all that responsibility to deliver and pressure to perform falling squarely on Bobby, I'm sure he's had some incredibly restless days/months/years.. IMO he's foolish for not taking the money and securing his family's future but that's whats made him the pioneer he is. I wish this dude nothing but the utmost success and I will continue to support however I can.
i love this interview so much he is so normal and human, a dude with a dream that realizes this is all a humble gift. he is a true person to modal yourself after
His story resonates with me and I'm sure a lot of others. Doubting the possibility of a career with your art and turning it into a hobby. Glad his dreams come true.
I remember the time when I emailed The hundreds back in 2009 about advice on how to start and maintain a streetwear brand. That was one of the best moments I remember when I was younger in regards to my creative journey. Bobby and the Hundreds has always been an inspiration. I may not own anything The hundreds besides 2 shirts I bought when I visited the store in melrose back in 2008. I still to this day have those 2 shirts. Bobby you are an OG in my generation.
Been recently thinking about creating ma own street wear company but doubting myself that it would never work. But after watching this I feel inspired to do it regardless, thank you COMPLEX & Bobby 💯
Really enjoyed this one and he is super humble it seems from this interview. When I was in the Military in Japan me and a friend would always get custom made leather jackets in Korea and everyone would always ask us where we got our gear and looking back I realized it happened so many times that I could have turned it into a business if I would have been in that state of mind but since I didn't consider myself into fashion I never thought about until I looked back. I hope that his business keeps flourishing.
The Hundreds used to be one of my favorite brands, and that's because of Complex! I can't believe this was last year. I also wish Complex was still in magazine format because I love holding the issue in my hands; so much inspiration!
This interview gave me hope! I´m here from germany and starting a brand to companite art and fashion.. this philosophy around 10min24s i think was the most motivation to keep ahead my dream. I invest so much energy, time, money and tears in my brand and i´m thankful everytime when i´m selling one piece. Thank you bro for this words.. it stucks now little bit because of no one is buying but i wont give up!
I think a big challenge is accepting your own limitations and what you don‘t want to do to become absolutely focused on what you really want to do and making it work no matter what.
Y'all bum ass niggas really can't read between the lines. I never said anything bad about the brand but some of y'all dumbasses think I was hatin. No nigga im not 17, I used to rock this shit back in the day.

Mike I’m waiting to see you soar
You can still follow your dreams brother. Keep pushing.
You know what? Yeah, just do it and don't overthink it!
Don't wear items because there's hype around it. Wear it because you like it, especially if everyone else hates it
Pshh. Kids will line up for everything Kith or Supreme drops. Streetwear Sheep
Austin Esquillin true thats why I still rock fubu lol
fubu ? try saucony originals
That's the reason why I wear nazi shirts, I like it and everybody hates it!

I've been going 14 years and had to stop for a second because nothing is working anymore, videos like this are always nice because as they say, inspiration comes from many different places.
That was tight graphics, photoimagery and the knowledge gained as a young artist is undeniable and outright universal
Big ups for his honest no-nonsense delivery of valuable lessons in self-actualization & expanding the dream to encompass many others.
This just gave me a whole new perspective about the hundreds. I always liked the hundreds, now I love them even more. You can just see the dedication

Fantastic interview. You can tell this man is genuine.
This is one of the most honest development of a "non- brand" I have ever seen--most impressive.

Your belief in what you stand in made you successful and will continue to do just that for many more years. cheers from Toronto!
Always really respected this guy even though I know he got a lot of heat after the brand kind of went south. Hundreds will always have a special place in my heart because it was at it's peak when I was just getting into streetwear.
We are super inspired... We are all about community and collaboration... Sends such a strong message.
10:12 This is inspiring AF and I just feel super motivated all of a sudden 🔥🔥🔥Thank you
This is such a good doc. Damn he's an artist. This is the first time I've heard about the Hundreds and I really felt like it's an OG brand. I felt the weight in every word he said. Doc captured the most important things.
Damn, almost feelin a little down after watching this. Still got my Hundreds hoodies and t shirts in the closet, and still wear them
Alex123 me too
I love 💣The Hundreds because when my favorite collared shirt was sold out, I reached out to the guys & they actually managed to make me one more! 👍 Thank you guys so much!
Wow, this interview was awesome. Very humble dude for sure.
This dude has given everything to creating something of substance and putting it out in the world. Even with the recognition they've received over the years, The Hundreds is still one of the most under appreciated apparel brands of all time. Every season they come with a catalog of not only hand drawn and original graphic tees but a full high quality cut and sew program.. the amount of work that goes into producing such full scale lines would blow peoples minds. And with all that responsibility to deliver and pressure to perform falling squarely on Bobby, I'm sure he's had some incredibly restless days/months/years.. IMO he's foolish for not taking the money and securing his family's future but that's whats made him the pioneer he is. I wish this dude nothing but the utmost success and I will continue to support however I can.
TYHIS IS GREAT CAN WE GET MORE INTERVIEWS. do one with takashi murakami
omf YES!!!
Would make a killer video 😍
sorry but who is he?
Kudi wants his picture
i love this interview so much he is so normal and human, a dude with a dream that realizes this is all a humble gift. he is a true person to modal yourself after
Love how he said the t-shirt is just merch...
Such a pleasure to be reading Bobby’s book but also hearing his story from his own voice. Incredibly inspirational
Damn this is crazy makes me not want to give up any of my dreams for anyone
You better NOT give up... EVER!
Great episode! Much respect to Bobby Hundreds. He is down to earth, honest, and articulate. I am a fan!
still looks 25 though :D
asian are timeless dude

+ilike beinganonymous hey we deal with other problems too. 😂
His story resonates with me and I'm sure a lot of others. Doubting the possibility of a career with your art and turning it into a hobby. Glad his dreams come true.
he's still one of the realest people out there.
I have a Hundreds "Paparazzi" camera backpack. I have nothing but respect for someone that takes a concept and turns it into something this large.
I'm starting my own streetwear business over here in Germany. This video was very informative.
AntonioKowatsch working on my public speaking come talk that shhh..‼️💯
I remember the time when I emailed The hundreds back in 2009 about advice on how to start and maintain a streetwear brand. That was one of the best moments I remember when I was younger in regards to my creative journey. Bobby and the Hundreds has always been an inspiration. I may not own anything The hundreds besides 2 shirts I bought when I visited the store in melrose back in 2008. I still to this day have those 2 shirts. Bobby you are an OG in my generation.
Beautiful video. Bravo.
everything bobby says resonates with me so deeply, its beautiful. truly inspiring🖤
Been recently thinking about creating ma own street wear company but doubting myself that it would never work.
But after watching this I feel inspired to do it regardless, thank you COMPLEX & Bobby 💯
Alex Johnson same man I've been writing down ideas tryna get some stuff going
go for it, but having connections will make it easier
social media!!!!! your tool for exposure.
Same here but I'm about to turn 28 so I'm like am I too old to do this now?
Are y’all still interested ?
Really enjoyed this one and he is super humble it seems from this interview. When I was in the Military in Japan me and a friend would always get custom made leather jackets in Korea and everyone would always ask us where we got our gear and looking back I realized it happened so many times that I could have turned it into a business if I would have been in that state of mind but since I didn't consider myself into fashion I never thought about until I looked back. I hope that his business keeps flourishing.
Dope video more of these
That was so deep about his professor, i'm holding back tears.
Always wore the hundreds since i was in high school always will even more since he came out with this short documentary interview really dope bobby.
The Hundreds used to be one of my favorite brands, and that's because of Complex! I can't believe this was last year. I also wish Complex was still in magazine format because I love holding the issue in my hands; so much inspiration!
About to go stock up on The Hundreds for the culture
Huibu
Bobby Hundreds is an inspiration for sure! Please open up that San Francisco store again, I really miss that store! Bring it back!
I have never heard of this brand, but its a great video with a great story, love how he sent his friends into buy the shirts that's gold lol
Quality of their shirts is dogshit they feel like sand paper
So many things in this interview made me feel emotional and proud about a complete stranger
"My gf at the time. Now my wife" #GoalsAF
This interview gave me hope! I´m here from germany and starting a brand to companite art and fashion.. this philosophy around 10min24s i think was the most motivation to keep ahead my dream. I invest so much energy, time, money and tears in my brand and i´m thankful everytime when i´m selling one piece. Thank you bro for this words.. it stucks now little bit because of no one is buying but i wont give up!
Really dope interview... The hundreds today would still be relevant today if it hadn't become corporate and mass produced.
I think a big challenge is accepting your own limitations and what you don‘t want to do to become absolutely focused on what you really want to do and making it work no matter what.
Damn this shit was poppin back in the day
Daniel Solano he never said anything about not wearing the hundreds
Cash Carti ur right my dude. unnecessary.
Edgar Martinez what up Holmes
No shit lol let me guess your 17 or something like that
Y'all bum ass niggas really can't read between the lines. I never said anything bad about the brand but some of y'all dumbasses think I was hatin. No nigga im not 17, I used to rock this shit back in the day.
Damn. As a law student with a streetwear brand, this hit home.
MAKE MORE OF THESE COMPLEX
Love to hear Koreans make it out from nothing I’m Korean and I’m proud to be it hits different makes me happy to hear my people win
