HOF: Labels, heels and nail patterns - Secrets to ID the maker

[hbkshin]

Chester Barrie makes the RLPL made in England line. There's a relationship there but it's weird that they'd have a RLPL label on the inside pocket when it's made for Ben Silver.

So I found this today and I am 70-80% sure it's Savile Row bespoke or at least English bespoke because of that giant lapel button hole, but the tailors tag has been cut out and I was wondering if anyone can help me ID the house? The top tab on the lining is exactly what I've seen Anderson and Sheppard do on the suit I have by them but the bit of the label that is left looks nothing like that. Thanks!

Really could be anyone, unfortunately. Are there no other labels at all?

^ unfortunately no and I couldn't find pants to go with it so no tags there. Ah well, thank you though!

Thanks for the response. I have read posts out here about people who will cut out labels and stitch them onto lesser suits, coats, etc, so maybe I am a little paranoid.

Anyone have an opinion on these spectators? They were made for Jack Wood Ltd, an old Trad shop in Charlotte. The heels look like classic Alden to me, but there are no other Alden markings. The size and model numbers are on the heel too, so they are pretty much unreadable. Sole says "Full Leather Lined"

Anyone have any guesses as to the maker of this Orme in Portofino blazer I found? How it's made and honestly everything about it says Boglioli to me but the tag isn't matching up with the Boglioli tag I know

I've handled a few Gucci piece of this vintage, but this is the first time I've across across this - any thoughts? It has the normal Zegna tags in the other pocket and is on par with Su Misura quality.

wouldn't that be Tom Ford era Gucci? definitely was made by Zegna and to high standards, sometimes up to Napoli couture standards, I believe.

I think he left in 04 - was just curious as I've never seen the season displayed like that. Was hoping it was an offshoot of their runway collection or such...

Any chance of an ID on these shells? @capnwes There's an old thread on AAAC that claims the shells for this particular Church's are re-branded Aldens, but no evidence to back it up . . .





"Genuine Cordovan"
"Benchmade"


"Genuine Cordovan"
"Made Exclusively For Church's Shoes"
"New York Beverly Hills"


"10 1/2 D/B" "00533352"
"0(?)555"

John Varvatos, Italy. I would assume these are some no-name shop, except for the five nail pattern (had me thinking Mantellassi but the # is off) and the non-braided Norwegian stitching (which Spoo had a very specific name for at one point, but now I can't recall). Anyone care to hazard a guess?

I have a jacket posted with this label. I don't know anything about the brand. Does anyone know anything about it? Only other tag is the union tag. I even tried to find the TM info on PDC, TDC and more but never could find it.

Guessing this is from late 70's.

Me neither.

Guys I know I've seen this before but can you help me with this tag from a SC?
