Ok, I've researched the other posts on this subject (ridiculously informative btw) and I have a question regarding a Zegna jacket I'm going to sell for my dad on Ebay. I know you're supposed to look towards the bottom left for either ZC, EZ, or ZZ in 'family group' box but I'm having a hard time locating that info on the tag shown below.

The actual label (older Zegna for Neiman Marcus) doesn't say the word 'couture' on it and I don't want to list it as such if it isn't the real thing. Can someone tell me if its safe to list it as a Zegna 'Couture' jacket or not? Thanks in advance for all your help guys.

Couture lining is different from the other lines. All Couture products I've seen jackets,shoes and ties have the XXX mark

Given the age of the jacket (8-10 years or so) and the mysterious 'ZC' on the tag (towards the middle) could it be that perhaps it predates the inception of the distinct lining and Zegna's Napoli Couture lines altogether? I appreciate all of your help guys, just trying to help my old man sell off his stuff.

Isn't Napoli that old? The current Couture line is just Couture. I thought Napoli went away 7+ years ago.

What does the ZC box label say? With the fold I can't read it.
