Right, we've had this conversation on here before, but I am bored shitless at work.
What brand names did Barney wear during his earlier days. Gio Goi is a given, I'll open the rest up for people to add their comments.......
Is any of this stuff still available?
I've still got one Gio Goi shirt (white striped, grandad collar) but, must confess, threw out two t-shirts recently cos I'd restocked me wardrobe from Vegas winnings! Out with the old, in with the new. Not sure it exists as a brand anymore?
Er, ain't we had this conversation elsewhere recently, Shuglet?! ;)
Have to confess to seeing Gio Goi down Hackney market a few years ago, felt a bit sad to see the brand had been reduced to market stall proportions 
Used to have a couple of Gio Goi tops back in the early 90's, I actually got my mate to phone up their office once to find out where I could buy their stuff (rip Dave...) anyway we found a shop in Brighton that sold it, so we duly went down and bought every style of top they had and walked around thinking we were the business!
Would have say Stone Island's my fave Barney gear for me though 
as I still cant get the image of Gio Goi in Hackney market out of my head :\ohwell:

Aye - but as soon as I delete me emails I instantly forget what you's were talking about
What was that Italian make? It's advertised on Blue Cat as " as worn by Barney" Sonnetti was it?
I had a cracking FAKE Gio Goi t-shirt, Green GIO GOI on White T-shirt, I picked it up from Corby Market for probably a sky diver. Always had that on. John gave me a cracking Green Gio Goi jacket like the one Barney wore on TOTP with Electronic. That's not long disappeared - I am guessing my brother John half inched that!
As fer Stone Island, I had a cracking Green SI Jumper with the Yellow Motif in the same position as a football badge, me mate Mark "borrowed" it 5 year ago - havnae seen that since either
Soviet jeans was one and Timberland boots and moccassin's I remember. He used to wear a lot of Nigel Cabourn stuff as well circa '93 and if memory serves right Hang Ten t-shirts too.
Well done that man. I had a pair of Soviet Jeans an all - fuckin massive on me, big red star on the back pocket, cool jeans. I also had a pair of Soviet Boots as well.

You're not alone there.
Anyone know what that Stripey jumper was he wore during the Round&Round TOTP performance (and interview) ?

Something Gillian knitted ?
I also remember in a photo he wore one of those Helly Hansen waterproofs that everyone had a year later.

If it's the one I'm thinking of - that would be the Substance photo shoots, I had the Substance poster - twas a white hooded top.
The sailing jacket he wears in the Ruined in a day behind the scenes documentary looks very much like Nautica.
Being a sailing man it wouldnt surprise me
Did anyone have one of those reversible jackets that he wore late '86 early '87 ? Havn't a clue who made them.

I'm not 100% sure but me Uncly John had loads of the same kinda stuff as Barney - this rings a bell
Straying slightly off topic, some of the T-shirts the Hookmeister wore were pretty cool an all, I remember the Kill Em All t-shirt, what were the others?

hooky always used to wear destroy tops,the long sleeved t shirts being his fave,can remember him wearing one,possibly at the montreux jazz fest me thinks. as for barney,gio goi seemed to be the order of the day. was fantastic stuff gio goi,still got a coat somewhere in the wardrobe. recently sold another to an old mate for £100!
Cheers for that, totally agree - Gio Goi is still pretty cool today. Is there anywhere other than Ebast that you can get any of these items?

That's easily my favourite image of the band ever.
Come to think of it, isn't that a healthy topic for a poll?

It would be easier to say it was a Typing error me ole fruitcake, but it's Ebast to me cos I havnae got a foowkin credit card, which is necessary for an account! You got the rest of it correct though, I was indeed enquiring where you can still get yer hands on Gio Goi material. Next time yer anywhere near that shop can you get the name of it please.....DANKE BIEN KIND SIR
Any idea what make the Suits were that he wore on the World TOTP video and in the music video???
Barney also sported the suit jacket with t-shirt look for some publicity shots around the Twisted Tenderness period.

Not got a Scooby Bruv, I know what they look like but fuck knows who the designer was, I'm sure one of the lads on here may know, I've never wore a suit in ma life.....that won't really come as a shock though will it
since this is kinda fan obsessed.... what is some of Barney's favorite brand/type of underwear???
what scares me is that somebody prolly knows...
C,mon, some of Barney's 'fashions' leave a lot to be desired - yellow jumper on the tube etc....
I always thought Steve and Hooky had a much cooler look, particularly around 83...
All the band looked pretty austere and cool in Taras and some of those early shots - Gills crimped hair, skinny ties, plain shirts.....
Personally - I was thinking the 88 til today look really Brian:D
The Eearly Electronic period was all the classy gear
