Obey Clothing is built on a foundation of "Dissent and Dissemination." Since its inception, Shepard Fairey has used the brand as a canvas to spread street art and social commentary. At The Drop, we align with Obey’s commitment to self-expression and community. This is a brand that doesn't follow the predictable path of fast fashion; instead, it focuses on creating garments that are visually striking and structurally sound, designed to be a staple of the urban uniform.
Iconic Graphics and The Shepard Fairey Legacy
The soul of Obey lies in its graphics. The brand’s imagery—often featuring the iconic "Giant" face or bold, Soviet-inspired propaganda styles—serves as a reminder to question everything.
- The "Eye" and "Star Face": These symbols have become shorthand for street culture authenticity. We carry a wide range of tees and fleece featuring these classic motifs alongside seasonal artist collaborations.
- Provocative Art: Every collection includes limited-run pieces that highlight current social and environmental issues, allowing you to wear apparel that reflects your values.
Workwear and Military-Inspired Design
While the graphics get the attention, the quality of Obey’s cut-and-sew program is what keeps people coming back.
Rugged Outerwear: Obey takes heavy inspiration from classic military field jackets and traditional blue-collar workwear. This results in chore coats, bombers, and parkas that are built from durable twills and heavy canvases, ensuring they stand up to the Canadian climate.
Premium Fleece and Knits: Known for their "Obey Big Boy" and oversized fits, their hoodies and sweatshirts utilize heavyweight fabrics that provide warmth and a structured silhouette that doesn't wash out.
Sustainability and Fair Trade
Obey has made significant strides in ethical manufacturing. A large portion of their collection is Fair Trade Certified™, ensuring that the people making the clothes are treated fairly and work in safe conditions. Furthermore, Obey frequently utilizes organic cotton and recycled materials in their core graphic programs. By choosing Obey, you are supporting a brand that actively works to reduce its environmental impact while maintaining its status as a streetwear powerhouse.
A Versatile Streetwear Essential
The beauty of Obey is its versatility. Whether you are layering a crisp woven button-down under a chore coat for a refined look or keeping it raw with a baggy pair of work pants and a graphic tee, Obey pieces are designed to be mixed and matched. It is the perfect brand for those who want their wardrobe to be an extension of their creative identity.
