This is definitely a piece of history right here. Swank Threds got sued by the porn mag, Swank and had to change their name to Hi-Fi. The cease and desist called for them to destroy all goods with the Swank name, branding and/or logo. The first season prior to this happening, they simple rebranded all their current designs as Hi-Fi Manufacturing. Soon after, they did some new originals for the Hi-Fi brand. So Swank Threds was actually short-lived, even though it was a historic streetwear brand. The Hi-Fi stuff was obviously great too, but it never gained the notoriety that Swank had.
