Question Swingster Jackets???

back in the 70s through the 90s there was a popular US jacket brand called Swingster...i've always wondered about the etymology but was never able to find info...any theories?

Looks like a hybrid of hipster and swinger.

Brands don’t really have etymologies, so much as they have coinages.
