Henley's does seem to attract a certain demographic that the average STWer may not wish to associate with.
Somebody mentioned Bench further up the thread…I remember in about 1994 or so when they were a seriously small UK skate label akin to Siesta, Raggy and Insane who were also about at the time. Bench were bought up by Cult Clothing at some point towards the end of the 90's and that's when they became omnipresent, their distribution previously had been restricted to all of about two dozen skate shops (this was just prior to the most recent '4th wave' of skateboarding popularity) and mail order set-ups.
Southampton's Addict was the other underground skate label which really took off, although they seem to have maintained credibility with their original market. Fenchurch is another example of a skate label that became 'too popular' (as daft as that sounds) and has now long since fallen out of favour with skateboarders.
A lot of the US labels seemed to disappear too, I used to really like Company E, they vanished and Fuct which was once fairly easy to get hold of seemed to implode. Freshjive are still going, but are a fraction of the size that they once were and my personal favourite, Droors were shelved when Ken Block decided to focus on DC (DC stands for Droors Clothing). Dub snowboard clothing was shelved at the same time as was Blunt which was the snowboarding magazine equivalent of Big Brother (the skateboarding magazine that spawned 'Jackass').
I'll go now, I'm getting nostalgic for my teens/early twenties.
