Quote: Many thanks...it is such a nice piece, finding the flower stem keeper(latch?) sewn behind the lapel soon after bringing it home told me I had something unique if not special.

Paid 2.50 for it at a Goodwill in a college town near here. I've found a veritable metric **** ton of barely worn NE Trad there as well, usually right around semester and year end.

Borrelli is one of the best, do enjoy it!

Hey All,

These are pictures of the tongue stamp and heel from a pair of Foster and Sons made in England tassel mocs. They have the 3 high and 1 low C & J nail pattern, but the tongue stamp seems inconsistent with C&J. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

This is from a JAB made in italy suit. A WAYWRN poster was curious who the maker is so I thought I'd ask here:



Any guesses? I know zegna made for them, but that's usually in mexico.

Would someone be so kind as to ID this tag for me?

Also, don't know if anyone here is good with ties, but I have a tie dilemma too, because there's no brand label, just fabric and manufacturing tags, anyone know who this is?


Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

That tie is most likely a generic tag, used on many different makers. From designer, to house labels.
Here are a few examples

Behind that tag, is the smaller "made in italy" - just don't have a pic of it. This is on a Dior Homme



Next is a basic Barneys New York House Label Tie - different colors than yours, but same label/font



And another Barneys








Do you have a picture or outline of the Maker label / Tie keeper tag that was ripped off? Maybe an outline of the needle punctures?

Thank you, after seeing this, I am fairly certain it's a Barneys tie. The keeper is still there and intact and no signs of removal of any label, which can just be done with a seam ripper and no one would ever know anything was there. There was never a logo on the keeper, which makes me think it's Barneys, cuz although black, the tags match up just about perfectly. Now I want to know who makes Barney's ties.

That's what I thought. Here are a few pictures of mine, for reference.

Thanks guys. The heel on mine also looks similar to Reosymes' Mezlans, so I think that that is probably accurate.
