Absolutely no connection other than SyncBlue are the collective group of Japanese Designers for Rangy Mountian Company Jeans, which is where you may have heard the two names mentioned given that Rangy often mention Martins name despite the fact that Martin is nothing to do with the Fake making Rangy Mountain Company. In fact this is from Rangy's website, where they even have the audacity to blame Red Monkey Designs for a lawsuit that forced them to change their name from Red Monkey Jeans! They changed it because what they were selling wasnt Red Monkey Jeans anyway, just shitty fakes, and they know it!! Talk about using a lawsuit by RMD to their advantage eh?
