I think that was me? You find great stuff!

Yup, I'm not sure why I keep mistaking you guys it's strange. I've even done deals with TNM but just can't seem to separate you guys. Really strange

what's the general rule on grabbing suits with the zegna cloth label, suit has no other brand labels on it but is in good condition and cheap

Unless it is a personal suit for myself, I always pass EZ (and Dormeuil) fabric suits that don't have indication of maker.

Yea, there really can't be a "general rule of thumb" because there is such a vast disparity between the manufacturers that utilize EZ's fabrics and it also matters which type of EZ fabric they are using. If I find a suit made by Isaia that has the Tessuto Ermenegildo Zegna Trofeo Wool tag in it, I'm pickin that **** up for sure...but if I find a Saks 5th Ave Suit without a recognizable manufacturer tag and the Tessuto EZ Wool on it, I'm passing. If you use Vicuna but have a ****** constructed suit, it's just a ****** suit that sucks that happens to be made of unobtanium. So I guess there is a general rule of thumb, if you recognize the manufacturers tag and it's crafted by a brand that doesn't suck, pick that **** up.

2 questions about a Ralph Lauren Rugby blazer, made in Italy.
1. Is this made by Cantarelli?
2. If so, is it possible that it's not fully canvassed? It's not passing the pinch test.

Finally was able to find a few things worth picking up. Please excuse the poor basement lighting.

Harley Davidson Lamb Shearling Jacket - S

Damn a Harley Shearling? That's probably a solid few hundred bucks on the bay. Authentic Harley Davidson leathers fuckin kill it.

Yes that is Canterelli. And yes that is possible. Cantarelli, like many manufacturers, have different levels of construction quality depending on who they are making the garment for and what that brand is offering for the goods. If it's for the Rugby line it is for sure not their top tier **** to say the least.

Edit: Just look at Isaia for example, there is Gianluca Isaia, Isaia Napoli, then Enrico Isaia... all three are contracted by other brands to make their suits, it just depends on the brand to decide which one is making their stuff, i.e. if they want to pay for complete hand crafting, they are paying top dollar for Enrico Isaia, if they want that Isaia label but don't want to spend the dough, they are getting partially canvassed, little handwork, Gianluca line.

I think this LB suit is made in-house in LB's own factory. Doesn't look like the "Attolini" tag going around on the interwebz. Could anyone confirm?

 

[Takai]

Any insight into age on this T&A? Keeper is different from others I've seen before:

More than likely 70's, prior to their royal warrant being issued. Have a bowtie from around the same time.
