I think I've seen one or two, but I can't remember if they were on odd jackets or a suit. I'm clueless on the maker, but it could have been made for the European market. Sorry!

Anyone help me with this? I know the label and can't remember the maker. This is on a Hugo Boss Baldessarini.

I would also guess Grenson. Heels with both center nail and dovetail are mostly seen in C&J and Grenson. Though C&J's markings are often more complicated, and Grenson's are simpler.


C&J have a center brass tack where the instep is.

Look like Incotex....but made in Italy and not 100% sure. Can anyone verify. Thanks!








These are the labels in my Incotex. Made in Italy, though I have another pair that's made in Portugal. These were given to me, so I'm not sure of age, but I'd say they're less than three years old.
