Thank you.
Most likely a sample made to MP standards, thus the hidden channel welt and rose stamp. Another tell will be what's embossed on the inside under where your heel goes.

Bought a pair off the same seller and they are def Masterpieces and great quality. I nearly bid up against you for those, just hope they fit you as the ones i got off him were very small for a size 6, im wondering if MP's fit very small.

Good thread. The problem is that some factories will change the labels over time. Also, having a different label within the same brands means that they are outsourcing to other factories. I know, because I have seen this with my own eyes.

Theres a pair on ebay at the moment in 7.5 UK and im thinking of bidding on them as the measurements basically equate to my C&J Handgrades in 6.5 on the 337 ie about 29cm x 10 cm. This seems very small for a 7.5. The 6's i got i could barely get on my feet so its maybe the case the 7.5's fit me. Any thoughts Rebel ???

They run 1/2 size large, generally. Sole measurements are worthless.
Hi
The Corneliani shoes are 50% off at the New Delhi boutique and I was considering picking up a black captoe which looked to be solidly built. They were around 900 USD full price and 450 USD discounted.
I am wondering if anyone knows who makes shoes for Corneliani and are they worth 450 USD ?
My experience with designer branded Italian shoes is limited to a Canali chukka with vibram sole which has served me well.
Thanks for your help.

I came accross these sport coats at a thrift store. They all were my size, felt nice, and had functioning sleeve buttons so i picked them up. Not sure what brand they are since the tags have all been removed. Any help?]Originally Posted by Window

There is always a possibility that some of these manufacturers use the same label maker (I doubt they print their own labels) and end up with similar looking labels. I looked for a pic of a Corneliani label but couldn't find one. Here is a Corneliani for RLBL:Originally Posted by EL72
Regarding this label with the words "BLUE LABEL" written on it, would this correspond to a Polo I, II, III or IV?
