Posts #230 & 231. When NZ made jeans?

I know nothing about the AMCO Jeans, but I was working for Bendon when they bought Izona. Bendon weren't then into sponsorship of any sort, even though they were making millions.

#229 - Sleepyhead bought out Sleepmaker not so long ago, which was then owned by Vita (Dunlop foam and furniture). From within their ranks we had two racers current on the classic scene. Years ago, the Vita (foam) name in the UK was synonymous with one of the fastest hillclimb Minis in the country.

Major sponsorship, or even minor sponsorship, in NZ motorsport, could prove the basis for a great book to add to Steve's impressive portfolio... (Hint hint. I'll only take a small commission off the royalties Steve.) Even though I am a relative newbie to NZ, many historic cars are known as much for their sponsorship as their manufacturers.
