Maker of Dunhill suits?

[ChiliPalmer]

I know the old Italian made Dunhill suits were made by Zegna. Is that still the case? If not, who makes them?

I believe that the two Italian ones I have are MaCo/Caruso made

What's MaCo?

Caruso

The suits at Dunhill in Jermyn St. in London are made by Zegna to Dunhill's pattern and are very nice.

The newer suits have these labels:

Are these fully canvassed as were the old ones?

 

[gdl203]

The fabric tag would be far more useful than this

^ Looks like a Zegna

I tried on a Dunhill suit two weeks ago in Jermyn street. It was made by Zegna, had hacking pockets and was fully canvassed. Didn't notice any Dunhill labels on it like that above though. Price was around 780 pounds I think.

I may be wrong about Caruso vs Zegna - I'll check again at home.

Best is to look at the tag. If it looks like the one on top, it's Zegna, on the bottom, it's Caruso

I may be wrong, but that top one looks like Caruso, and the bottom looks like Corneliani / Polo

top is caruso (it's the same in caruso's caruso, baldessarini, rl black label, lanvin 15....), bottom is corneliani.
