After some research I think its Pal Zileri

hello, would anyone be so kind to identify these markings on a pair of military style boots made in England. Who might be the manufacturer? Thank you.

Reminds me of Grenson handgrade.

A bit too hastily I put in a bid on some Dunhill suit on Ebay - afterwards I noticed some sketchy looking details, which reminded me a bit too much off counterfeit items.

I requested more pictures, and got the following of the label. Clearly it's made in China, and thus not Zegna-made mainline Dunhill.

I'm thinking maybe store uniform, or something similar? Some of the fashion brands have lower-quality clothes made for uniform use, often made in China / Mexico / etc.

I don't think it's fake, as the fake labels I've seen don't look anything like that - and from what I can see, the lapel hole looks a bit decent (see top right area of the last picture)

Looks good and bad all at the same time. The labels and lining look a lot like Dunhill but the cut does not.

Either a focused fake or perhaps outlet stock or Asian Market options? Either way I would pass.

Does anyone recognize this tag from a recent Cifonelli RTW?

In the last decade, Cifonelli RTW was usually made by S.Partenopea. Since a couple of years, by Edesim. The tags are similar but not the same. But we can see it was made for the US market, so... maybe a specific tag.

Trying to figure out who makes Mauro Blasi. Looking at a sport coat and am curious.

isn’t that a Stile Latino tag? That is, after they stopped using the Attolini tag.

No idea. I read on another thread that Blasi is the family behind Sartoria Partenopea.

Italian suit manufacturers

There are loads and loads of small manufacturers in Italy that mostly make private label for Italian stores or they are subproducers for larger factories such as Belvest, Canali, Corneliani, Caruso, Lardini, and Zegna. Often when people say that for instance a Ralph Lauren suit was made by...

I could have sworn I saw your tag on more recent items.

Been casually looking around. topshelfapparel and Mitchell's both carry Blasi. All the tags are the same. Was curious as that price point indicates a big maker. If they made in-house then SF would likely have picked up on it already.

I posted in the MC General Chat thread as well.
