On the first thread? No they aren't.

I concur on the label being Lardini. They also make suits/clothing for Ferragamo's men's line and also (I heard) some Italian Burberry and Dolce & Gabbana. I could be wrong about these last two, but for sure on Ferragamo. Agreed re: pushing their product in Japan. Prices seem substantially higher than I'd ever pay, so not sure how that will work as Japanese customers of suits have a HUGE range of options at every pricepoint, including MTM and bespoke common in every town/city. Snapped a few Tombolini labels, as I hadn't seen them posted yet. Another midrange maker, makes garments and some suits for Gianfranco Ferre, Dellacqua, and probably others. Also, I believe, they bought the Hilton/Vestimenta name, though currently these are (I think) just Tombolini.

Anyone know the model name of these C&Js?

Any ideas who is the maker of this Bamford & Sons sport coat? It doesn't look like Caruso (attached thumbnail) Thanks in advance!

Grenson Masterpiece???

^ Can very well be C&J. What's the code inside the lining?

 

[BBC]

^^ Not sure, I'm deciding whether I should bid on them on eBay and there are no pics of the lining.

^ Should ask for the pics of the lining, or at least what it says. The heels are identical with older C&J. Though the soles are similar to those of EG or GMP. They can be an older pair of C&J for EG too. Can't say for sure without the code.

Fairly sure that there's no such creature.

I would guess Sargent, but that is 70/30 odds. I could tell for sure with the interior writing.

Caruso

 

[Grigory]

Are you sure? I have 3 Caruso suits made for various sellers (BB, Ma.Co, Adriano & Sons). They all have the same tag - not like this one.

 

[NOBD]

Mine have different tags as well.
