I think you need to be logged in to read, but you don't need a paid subscription. Registering is definitely worth it to read this take on the Cavour EBITDA vest:

Gilet prices: far from armless

The vest a man can get (for a large amount of money)

And let me just say that you need to add a side pocket to your EBITDA vest for the schtick to really hit home.

I’m Scandinavian and I usually wear 50 - for example Boglioli, Zegna and Private White that measure about 53cm half chest. My MTM pieces are also about that and looking at the measurement charts of a few brands a 55.5cm half chest would seem more like a typical size 52..?

But going for a 48 in Cavour would seem to be too tight in the shoulders. Anyway, it was mostly the 10cm difference from shoulder to half-chest that made me wonder about the fit.

I would get the same size as you do in any known Italian brand.

I wear same size in Cesare Attolini, Orazio Luciano, Canali, Corneliani, Boglioli, Lardini etc.

Hahaha! Fantastic!

I will be sure to send mr Ashworth one if I can find his office address..


As for the pocket you request, let me see what we can do!

 

[Herr Brun]

The pocket request is solely finance dad joke-related, not sartorial 😁

Any plans on lengthening the sleeves on upcoming shirt models? Last years shirts from india were shorter in the sleeves than previous years and they are just too short for me unfortunately.

 

[MrNestor]

And the body length is also shorter compared to older models, especially in the premium range. I wouldn't mind a couple of cm's more.

Hi Kevin,

Any intention to do another round of loyalty bonus release in the near future?
Cheers

No idea to be honest. The bonus program is in the hands of the guys with the thick glasses.

Seems I did make a sizing mistake - the Mod 2 size 50 trousers are actually too tight, can’t even close them. @kevinsvindland, would you suggest actually going a size up over Mod 1? Are Mod 2 significantly narrower? I am thinking that perhaps even 52 in Mod 2 would be fairly slim in the leg. As mentioned, I have a 52 Mod 1 that fits good in the leg and a bit roomy in the waist. Thanks!

Cheers, Kevin. Sounds like just what I need - not too heavy so can be worn in spring and early autumn, but denser knit, sharper crease, and most importantly less wear in the crotch. I have a gorgeous charcoal Mod 1 number from a few years back (2020 or 2021) and I already had it repaired twice in the crotch. However, the insanely generous inseam means I have fabric left for a few more repairs, and I even have 4.5cm turn-ups.

I have now ordered two pairs of the heavy worsted in size 50 as I’ve mercifully gone back down a size so the charcoal 52s are a bit large. I hope I didn't make a mistake, since the charcoal ones are Mod 1. If the 50 in Mod 2 works well I will go for the flannels too. And the worsteds also looks promising, lovely texture and hope for a super-sharp crease.

I assume you’re not in a position to share the name of the mill for the flannel, @kevinsvindland? I remember in the past there would be elegantly hidden clothmaker labels of e.g. Brisbane Moss on the inside of the pocket etc. But doesn’t matter, you folks do make great stuff, keep it up!

The legs of Mod. 1 trousers are quite narrow compared to the Mod. 2.
So not quite sure what to say to help out here...

Model 2 is much more balanced, and more true to size. Which is why we discontinued Model 1 all together.

 

[MrAristocat]

Thank you, @kevinsvindland. I guess I should’ve ordered 52, like the Mod 1…

Not sure if this was already posted, but just randomly checked the site and noticed Final Sale (extra 15% off) has started. I just went hard on those size 50 blazers/suits and the flannel shirts.

Hadn't seen an email about it yet so thought I'd share the info here...
