Gio Goi? Bench? Not keen on their stuff though. Remember Joe Bloggs? That was truly horrible rascal gear

 

[Dirty Harry]

Pretty sure Gio Goi co owner Anthony Donnelly is a big Blue aswell, used to go to school with him, a good lad too, used to be a cheeky f*cker though, in a funny way.

He got offered a shit load of money for the rights of the name Gio Goi from a Japanese company - think it translates as 'dodge the bullets, fight the rain' over there. Didnt take them up on it and relaunced instead

Ah right, cheers mate, I know there was an issue with Giorgio Armani re the GIO (wtf) but not the above.
I`m sure he knows what he`s doing though, academically at school he was sh1t BUT he always knew how to make money, proper business head on him, finger on the pulse and all that.

Good call on the Baracuta - the originators of the harrington jacket that has been copied by many but matched by none (imo).

Gio Goi and to a certain extent Bench were quality when they started out but both have chased the money and gone massmarket (imo). I'm not slagging them for doing this as I may have done the same but the quality and originality in their designs are now gone.
