LB is known for top quality garments. But they do not make their all stuffs and have many different maker through out history.

The point is that they do many different style from Milan to Napoli. So just base on the silhouette what marker do you think that made this Jacket?

All the below are used to be LB Marker:

St Andrews (Milan)
Caraceni (Milan)
Cesare attolini (Napoli)
Sartoria partenopea (Napoli)

definitely not A. Caraceni (hint: lapels), also they never produced anything for somebody else, that is for sure...

I can't see any picture or link to the jacket you're referring to. However, I've worked with a factory that produced RTW tailoring for Luciano Barbera and it certainly wasn't one of the ones you're referring to in your initial post. They are a Northern Italian manufacturer that does not distribute anything under any label of their own and is not a handmade product to the level of the makers in your post. Rather I'd compare quality with Caruso, Corneliani or the likes of those.

AFAIK the only handmade stuff Barbera made was under the "Sartoriale"label. Otherwise, it's a pretty decent industrially made full canvas product.
