Good shout, cheers!
Any idea about these? Found them for a tenner in a vintage shop and initially thought Sanders, but the markings don't seem quite right. Can just about make out "Shoes For Men" on the lower part of the sock liner.

Curious on these two. Thanks in advance!

Yes please...help. My guess is Facis...
I realize this may be a very long stretch, but I figured I'd post anyway. I found this Made in Italy jacket today at Salvation Army, 100% wool with rayon lining, patch pockets on the bottom, and gold colored metal buttons (but not gold). Now, I don't know much of anything about suits, but from what I can tell doing a pinch test (which who knows how accurate that is with me doing it as I'm still not completely certain how to tell) it appears to be fully canvased.
The only tags are these 2, any help? I suppose it doesn't matter much in the long run, as it fits me and I'll most likely keep it and get it tailored, but it would be cool to learn something.
Thanks!

You are possibly the first person who did a sketch in this manner. Thanks.
Perhaps you should just trace inside the shoe with the pen?

Yeah, I tried that, I even detached the foot bed to do the old school crayon transfer thing. No luck.
However I think I have now determined the second word to be "Classic"
