Hi,

This RLBL suit does not seem to have the normal Caruso label...instead it is like this

Sorry for the blurry pics. The writing on the first pic says "Made for Polo Ralph Lauren Europe...."

Anyone knows who made them if not Caruso?

Thanks

Either that or the tag was removed

Probably Cantarelli. I have similar looking tag inside one of my Purple Label jackets and it's a Cantarelli.

Hey, it's my best guess.

If Cantarelli can make for Purple label, no reason why they can't do it for Black. Kinda like Caruso, double dipping in both.

I have this tag on fall 08 RLBL suit and have also seen it on spring 09 RLPL suits. It could be the manufacture updated their tag for the RL orders. I guessed it was Caruso since the PL I tried on with this tag was slimmer in cut to the St. Andrews suits.

show some details of the collar stitching and the button hole on the lapel, I can tell you from that if it is Caruso.
