Diadora still around and Lotto too. I still have my football boots from Diadora and I have seen Lotto sponsor tennis players.
 
I loved my Textwood jeans. I wonder what happened to that brand. I think they had a factory in Jurong.

i still have a pair of texwood jeans. 35 years old! that pair of jeans should be older than some forummers here.
 
Padini shirts and pants used to be popular in the early 80s. I still see this brand in Malaysia.
