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

[SpooPoker]

Anybody know this label? @SpooPoker perhaps?

None that I know of, sorry!

 

[SomethingsFishy]

Any ideas who made this one? On a ludicrously-nice handmade piece. Handsewn pick stitching all over the place (even down the sleevehead, sleeve, and midline of trouser legs) Dormeuil Amadeus 120s wool. I'm thinking it may be one of the newer Chinese firms making superb outsourced bespoke pieces (Garrison Bespoke is a good example)

 

[Benali]

From two different Domenico Vacca suits, any ideas?

I know DV has mostly been made by Attolini and Belvest, but I've never seen these. First I thought they were Borrelli, but nope. Haven't found these in this thread either.

Did anybody ever figure this one out? I lean towards Attolini, but not certain? Anybody else?

 

[dreamspace]

Not Attolini, I have their suits with new and old tags, noone which matches those.

Can anyone help me identify the maker of this Boggi sport coat?

From Dirnelli, only info I have:

The StyleForum Working Hierarchical Suit Quality List (SFWHSQL!)

Some of Boggi's suits are from Caruso as well. https://www.boggi.com/en_US/default-homepage Here's Dirnelli on how the Boggi tag shows the maker: "Boggi — This RTW brand totally impresses me, all the more given its rock-bottom pricing. If I were to recommend just one brand to penurious...

Thank you! The link you provided helped me figure out it was made by Flannel Bay.

Looks more like Tombolini.

I might be in a bit of a pickle. I sold these shoes as vintage Church's, because the label inside says "Custom Grade", and I haven't seen another brand that uses that designation. But the buyer is now asking me to verify the brand, and I'm not sure I can. Does anyone else call their shoes "Custom Grade", and if so, who?

This shoe is definitely not a Church's or a Cheaney for Church's shoe in my estimation. The heel pad "custom grade" logo is one that I've never seen for Church's/Cheaney. With the shoe being resoled and heeled its hard to say with confidence if the shoe is even definitively of english origin.

I've only seen that kind of heels with the white inserts in american shoes so far.

Same, but those are clearly replacements, so they could be English shoes that were repaired in the US. Regardless, they aren't what I sold them as, so I'm working out a resolution with the buyer.
