Hello!

No shawl collars, no.

Appreciate the reply!
I guess I'll have to wait patiently for you to launch one of those then

 

[kevinsvindland]

Finally shirts have started to appear online!

Have a look here!

This Alumo high twist poplin is probably my favourite.

I have a question! The production moved to china which means less production cost, faster production of products etc. The fabrics that are used are cheaper ones,like Abraham moon etc and not Loro Piana for example but the prices are increased.
2 years ago I bought a blazer with Loro piana’s pecora nera fabric which is an expensive fabric and the full price was around 850-900.
With today’s prices in the site this blazer should be around 1500.

Where is the question?

Looks nice - has the fit changed?

Sorry I thought that was sooooo obvious. The question is why the prices increased when the production costs decreased that much. For sure Cavour has a very very good quality for RTW but why I have to choose Cavour over suitsupply for example?
They both MIC but a Cavour blazer costs 1000 euros while the SS costs 400.
The Cavour uses Abraham moon for example and the Suitsupply uses VBC which for my opinion are more expensive fabric. Both are canvased etc etc.
Note that I own lots of items from Cavour(blazers shirts knitwear)and nothing from Suitsupply.

Our production cost did not lower moving to China, at the time it was about the same price. But the product and consistency is far superior to that of our former Napolitan manufacturer.

The price of transport is obviously much higher, given the huge increase in distance. Italian/English fabrics, transported to China, ready goods from china to Norway.

And not to mention the increases of logistics in general, due to shortage of vessels and high demand.

Then on top of that the prices of fabrics have increased by 20-40% across the board over a rather short period of time.

Comparing to Suitsupply is not really that useful. They make a half canvas product, we make fully canvassed with loads of hand made steps.

And of course currency fluctuations play no small part in it.

No significant changes.

The main line shirts have a slightly tuned up collar, But fit is the same.

Premium shirts are a new addition, with a new spread collar.

Sartoria shirts are a slightly tuned fit overall, with a higher level of finish. But sizing is the same as before.

Is there any hope for a below-the-knee version of this? https://cavour.co/sv/product/8852/double-breasted-cashmere-overcoat I am very interested in that heavy 750g cashmere fabric but it's too short for my taste.

We could always make you one, as long as we are able to buy cut lengths of this fabric. But that would come at a 30% surcharge.
Email [email protected] if interested, and we can look it up.

Alright, so no RTW option then?
