HOF: Labels, heels and nail patterns - Secrets to ID the maker

[Huntsman]

This is a great thread....I never read it thinking it only applied to shoes. I'll contribute something in thanks for info received.

Huntsman (Chester Barrie) for Louis, Boston. The opposite pocket has a yellow text on green label with a red border, reading Louis International. Inside the pocket is a Made in England tag, though I can't find this fabric content tag that has been posted so often.

ps. Thanks AHarris

Makes sense, because it doesn't look like my Corneliani labels.

I used to have a Ma.Co suit (badged just "Ma.Co" and not Caruso) and IIRC the tags look like the one posted in the Dunhill. I might be wrong, but I'll see if I can find a pic of the tag off my suit when I put it in the sales area. So, that would support Matt's statement that it is made by Ma.Co

^I agree. I have a few Lardini suits, jackets, etc. and the inner tags are the same.

Nice thread indeed..

 

[petitnoblesse]

This is from a pretty inexpensive Loro Piana suit, any ideas who made this?

Canali for Dior Boutique

^^My earlier posts muddied this issue I'm afraid. I've seen that exact label in both Canali and Corneliani coats. So either they've taken to using the same labels (something I've never seen before, ever) or there is some sort of association between the two.

That's definitely a Canali Label. I don't have pics of the Corneliani label handy but I have several of their coats and suits and the labels are different; there is no association AFAIK.

There is a pic of a Cornaliani label at the top of this thread - unfortunately along with two pics of Ma.Co. labels wrongly identified as Corneliani. The SF editing rule is a shame as the OP should be constantly updated and corrected but I cannot do so.

I saw a raw silk Canali jacket today with the Canterelli manufacturer tag. It was fused.
