Hi guys. Please forgive my submission of a question rather than an educational post. Is the attached label Attolini?

For the record, I have looked at every post on this thread and have not seen a similar label.

Thanks! 🦊
According to the tailored consignment guide, it is Attolini.

Flannel Bay, makes for Boggi and Pini Parma (certainly others)

Boggi stopped letting makers use their own tags maybe 3 years ago and now uses their own tag, hard to figure out who makes what now. Prada suits the same.

Hello there!

Once again, my apologies for bothering all of you but I hope I would be forgiven. I have seen this tag on a lot of different third-party brands. Can anyone please point out the Italian manufacturer behind this tag?

Thank you once again.

I still see this one quite a bit, on Nardelli among others. Maybe Tombolini?

Hi all, this thread has been amazingly helpful to me! Just wanted to add my two cents.

First, here's an old Canali tag I've encountered a couple times:

Anyone able to help w the maker of this Boggi suit?

This tag is Lubiam. They have used a lot of tags over time, and I don't even know if this is the one currently in use, but it is at least one of them.

Formens MTM 2022. They are the largest suppliers of suits in France if I understand correctly, they make a wide range of machine-made suits, so you can't tell from the label if it's canvassed, etc.. The fabric code is taken directly from the manufacturer code (Drago Vantage Super 130s).

Cavour 2021 (I think from after the move to China production, but I couldn't find the post that confirms it)

According to the 'older Caruso' tag in post no. 1, this would mean that Caruso is or has been a maker for Hugo Boss Baldessarini. This pure silk suit is hands down the best HB item I have ever seen. Full canvas and MOP buttons. The works.

Vintage Battistoni:

And this seems to confirm that Caruso also produces for Lanvin:

Hello there!

Another question concerning the provenance of a jacket please.

All I could find on this jacket is this label. I couldn’t find any other label. I was wondering if this could be Brioni by any chance?

Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated!

Thank you once again.

This looks exactly like the Battistoni label I just posted.

Scabal MTM, ca. 2020 before the production in Germany was closed and moved to Portugal (Tailor Hoff). Art. 501228 is the Scabal fabric code (New Deluxe)

Can confirm, have a Scabal polo coat with this same tag purchased in their Geneva store in 2017, with the store owner explaining their MTM at the time were all made in a factory in Germany.
