company based in Sonoma County, California
known for "flamboyant" trousers.
The company was established in 2000 by Scott "Woody" Woodworth, then a junior graphic designer
. His first design involved a children's fabric with prints of Warner Brothers cartoon characters, which he had made by a local seamstress. The designs caught the attention of various sports personalities, who began ordering the pants. In 2007 Woodsworth began creating his own fabric designs.
In 2009 golfer John Daly
appeared wearing "loud" clothing from the company on the European Tour while banned from the PGA Tour
. Daly later entered a formal endorsement
agreement with the company.
The Norwegian curling team drew international attention to the company, and to themselves, at the 2010 Winter Olympics
by wearing Loudmouth's "Dixie-A" pants with red, white, and blue diamonds as a uniform. The team wore the pants on advice from second Chris Svae
who served as their fashion consultant. The team gave a pair to King Harald V of Norway
. A Facebook
fan page created for Norway's pants drew more than 500,000 fans during the games. During the Olympics, Loudmouth's web traffic
increased by a factor of ten and sales tripled.
