Am I right that this is made by Caruso?

Thx in advance.

I actually had no idea, never saw it before, and just happened to come across two of them on Saturday morning.

Any ideas, Stuart's Choice Paul Stuart, I don't think these are Grenson, any ideas?

Cheaney 125 last?

Sargent?

Heel Pattern somewhat matches, but I've never seen Inside writing like that on AS

Cheaney 125 last?

That was one of my first thoughts, but I couldn't find any evidence Cheaney had made for Paul Stuart, and I haven't seen hand printed inside markings on Cheaney...but its a definite possibility.

Edit: Searched around on the UK Ebay site, lots more Cheaney shoes over there, and I think you are dead on...all the new Cheaney's have that exact marking, when they make for themselves they have a shoe Name before the size, when they are made for someone else, its just a number.

THANKS!

Anyone recognize this one on an Old Englans International jacket? I'd say Caruso but can't be sure b/c it isn't an exact match.

Hey, I don't think anyone responded. Have an identical one, no tags, LP hopsack fabric silver blazer. UNITE! US union tag in the other pocket. Came with a Harolds hanger from a store that's really good about keeping branded hangers with the suits.

Reporting back on this, don't know why I didn't do this before, but RN cross check is "Hartz & Co"

Maker for BB, J. Press and others according to AAAC

I should probably know this, if the maker is worth knowing, but I can't remember this tag.

Brooks Brothers made in Italy - labeled from 2007
Tag look familiar to anyone? Any tailor house worth noting?





Thanks.
