BSY?, as hipsters and jet-setters worldwide know it, was the culmination of a lifelong dream held by Adid. He was the inspiration and prime-mover. Addisson, though a member of the board and a fashion consultant, was there to support his old comrade. Together, with almost no knowledge of the fashion industry but between them a wealth of expertise developed over the years as connoisseurs of fine pants, created a small but reputable firm whose products are sworn by the world over.
Their one marketing mistake seems to have been caused by the lure of easy money dangled before them by the producers of the International Male catalogue. They badly damaged their reputation by going glam with a series of breezy legwear, using their patented Gilga-mesh fabric, which looked as though it would be more at home in cheesy European gay bars than along the boardwalk. The line was withdrawn and good-natured self-mockery by Adid on the talk show circuit saved the day, and among ironic rich kids the pants are a much sought-after item.
Since 1998, the company has inexplicably branched out into the video game market, and although they narrowly missed out on developing the Desert Shield II and Israeli Mix Tape games to more experienced and savvier competitors, they surprised the world in 2002 with their fastasy-adventure blockbuster The Intrepid Cobbler.
