David "Swaim" Hutson began Obedient Sons as a T-shirt company in San Francisco, and expanded it to become a New York rising-star label, before shuttering it in early 2009. With the inclusion of wife Christina to the design team and Green Day bassist Mike Dirnt as a financial backer, the label moved beyond its humble beginnings to produce downtown-cool menswear that appealed to the rock-star set. Hutson often cited Christina as the force who recognized the line's cross-gender appeal, prompting the decision to begin adding womenswear. Shortly after the couple earned a 2008 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund nomination (they lost out to Alexander Wang), they announced the shuttering of the label in early 2009 due to financial constraints.
