Sasetti made in italy stuff definitely does not run small, if anything I feel like they run big i.e. their 9.5US is more like 9.75US

I had a Sasetti chukka (as Alden) and you have right they were a bit big for me in my size, 9UK, but the Penfield last are elongated and narrow and I thought maybe 9UK would be my size, but you are right.

sorry if this has been already said, but it's my understanding that Purple Label was only made in Italy. However, I've come across some pants sold as Purple Label but they are made in Sri Lanka. Do they also manufacture PL in that country?

They look quality to me, but just want to make sure.

The label looks really wonky - and Sri Lanka is spelled as one word.

I’ve seen RLPL made in Italy, China, and Turkey, but not Sri Lanka.
you're right Sri Lanka is spelled together, lol. I'm guessing that's it then? I've also searched a lot and haven't found PL made there, so it's sus... Then again, why would you make a fake and explicitly place it somewhere it's not actually manufactured?!
