In the late 80s I worked in a hotel restaurant and given the number of hours I pulled down I managed to splash cash on the latest threads. And believe it or not, Wellington was one of the first places in the world to open a then-very-hot Benetton store.
Given my taste for breaking fashion, I picked up a Benetton blue and white rugby jersey for an outrageous sum (at right in the above picture and as made popular by John Taylor from Duran Duran).
It remains one of the most-loved items I've ever worn. Sadly, I lost it at a party in Raumati in the early Nineties.
I wonder if it's still in the back of somebody's closet?
