One thing you may not know about The Blot is I’m a HUGE Grateful Dead fan. Even though I’m still in my early 30s, I proud to say I’ve even seen the Dead in concert. It was their second to last tour before Jerry Garcia passed away and somehow I convinced my parents to let me go even though I wasn’t even old enough to drive. Looking back on it that was one of the crazier shows I’ve ever been to. So when The Hundreds announced they’d be releasing a new collection of Grateful Dead clothing on 4/20 The Blot got really excited.
Bobby Hundreds called this an “unexpected and unpredictable collaboration,” but that’s why I love it so much. Over the past few years The Hundreds has released some really surprising collabs while still staying true to their brand. They seek fellow innovators in an attempt to bring their fans something new and unique. Bobby put it best, “as with the Grateful Dead, The Hundreds puts the people before the product, drawing our own lines, and pioneering our own subcultural marketplace beyond the traditional path.”
The Hundreds x Grateful Dead Collection comprises a full range of graphic tees, tanks, specialty shirts (one raglan and one button-up), sweatshirts, a jacket, hats (one snapback and one beanie), a sneaker (limited to 100 pairs), a keychain and a sticker pack all featuring original The Hundreds graphics inspired by the Grateful Dead’s illustriously eclectic aesthetic, as well as a recurring tie-dye motif. The entire collection will go on sale through The Hundreds online store on Saturday, April 20th.
