Rugged Cartoon-Inspired Fashion Lines

Acme's Looney Tunes Line is Stylish and Nostalgic

Everyone's favorite childhood cartoon is receiving a revival after the drop of Acme's Looney Tunes line, which features plenty of colorful references to the iconic television show.

This line is perfect for sporting one's fandom for the series, while still appearing stylish and comfortable. The line was inspired by military uniforms and maintains rugged motifs and baggy silhouettes. Some standouts from the collection include the cargo pants which have been embossed with the brand's logo, as well as illustrations of Wile. E. Cayote.

This line was made possible through a collaboration between Acme and The Hundreds and speaks to the popularity of nostalgia in fashion, as well as the longevity of these iconic cartoon characters.
