OBEDIENT SONS ANNOUNCES NEW PARTNERSHIP
WITH GREEN DAY’S MIKE DIRNT
NEW YORK, NY and LOS ANGELES, CA: Green Day bassist Mike Dirnt and fashion designer Swaim Hutson proudly announce a new partnership in Hutson’s six-year-old clothing line, OBEDIENT SONS. “When something speaks to you, listen,” says Dirnt who continues, “I invest personally, and emotionally in what I believe.”
Several years ago, Dirnt purchased an OBS jacket at an exclusive retailer in California and immediately sought out Hutson. At their first meeting, Dirnt bought fourteen pieces of Obedient Sons A/W 05 Collection, “Lost Beats” and the two became fast friends based on a shared passion for music and culture. They soon learned they shared a birthday under the sign of Taurus as well as a bullheaded desire to express their worldviews through art, politics, and fashion.
“Swaim just kept blowing me away with his diversity and style,” says Dirnt. Know as a unique voice of dissent and passion, OBEDIENT SONS is an award winning fashion line for men which presents seasonal collections ranging from jackets, pants, button-downs, knits to limited accessories.

One of the biggest challenges faced by young designers is to establish solid partnerships and associations in order to create a successful brand. After some trial and error, Hutson found a solution to this very challenge, which developed from establishing a loyal fan of the line. Mike Dirnt, the bassist in the band Green Day, purchased items from the collection from a retail store in Los Angeles, which became staples in his wardrobe. This lead Dirnt to contact Hutson directly to purchase additional pieces, as well as have Hutson create custom clothing for stage appearances and red carpet events and subsequently the two became fast friends. In May of 2006, Dirnt became a partner in Hutson’s six-year old label and this partnership has established a new platform for the brand to expand and evolve, while continuing to exist within an ongoing cultural dialogue.

Further evidence, as if we needed it, that Mike Dirnt is a good guy. And custom tour wardrobe? I wonder if he made the Han Solo pants. If so, Deb owes him a thank you note. ;)

Great info, Mary! Thank you for furthering our education in the fashion/business ways of our Mikey. :)

Nothing to do with his sexuality, but the kind of guy who never leaves a dirty dish in the sink and irons his dockers kinda guy. I can totally see it!
