Do you have a shot of the numbers/code on the inside?

The green sole made me think of Santoni, but the rubber inset (?) in the heels is different from my Santoni's, FWIW.

Can anyone tell me a little more about this jacket based on this label? The other label reads "MACO Soragna," which I assume means it's from Ma.Co. aka Caruso, but no one confirmed that when I posted the label in another thread. Any other information regarding quality relative to other MaCo-produced lines (RLBL, Caruso, Adriano & Sons) would be appreciated.

Also, when I bought it, it was listed as 60% Abaca (aka Manila hemp), but the only translations I can find of "Canapa" simply call it hemp. I'm assuming it's the latter; is there any reason to think it's the former?

Hmm.. not sure what I did wrong on my Belgrave photo. Probably a typo somewhere. I'll try and figure it out a bit later this evening. In the mean time, here are some shots from my new acquisitions.

Right, but the heal pattern throws me. I've not seen a C&J that looks like that. Can anyone confirm that?
