How does Cavour jackets compare to SM sizing?
W/ SM I find contemp 36S and slim 38S to be the best fit, but neither is ideal.
Wondering whether to go 36 or 38 with Cavour (i.e. 46 or 48)

I take the same size in both brands (40R /50EU)

I did it. I ordered 50 and 52. I will return jacket no fit.

Let us know how you go on

Planning to order some of the Cavour Sartoria oxford shirts. How do they fit? Does anyone know how they compare to Drake’s? I usually go for 15.75 with Drake’s so was thinking 40 in Cavour. Thanks!

Which penny loafers would you prefer:
Cavour
Morjas (suede)
C&J Boston
other?

I am looking for the sleek look, while not standing out too much.

thanks

I have the black Utah calf penny loafers on the rubber sole and have been really impressed by their construction. I also feel like the last is a good in between on not being too sleek while also not having a casual rounded toe. I have the nautilus loafer in suede, as well, and the suede is great quality. I would say they’re similar in quality/construction to my Lof &Tung loafers, which is excellent imo. The only other loafer I have is Carmina in suede, which I would say would be one step up higher in finishing and leather quality. However, if you can get the Cavour on sale I think it’s truly hard to beat at that price point and I recommend their footwear to people all the time.

The almond shape looks really nice and neat. I am still considering the Morjas dark suede though...

Do you know when do they usually go on sale? I am waiting for quite some time and same price...

It's all about fit.
I have the CJ Boston, which is nice, but doesn't fit me well and have been trying to sell it.

Many brands offer different lasts/ models for loafers. But comparing Morjas to C&J in therms of quality is like comparing an Aston Martin to Chevrolet

Bontoni Pricipe, which, unfortunately, Cavour no longer stocks.

I am thinking about giving Cavour a try and plan on buying a sports coat off of their current sale. I own a single spier Mackay sports coat in size 54 EU which has a decent enough fitand I think I will order a size 56 from Cavour. According to their sizing chart size 54 only offers a 47.5 cm shoulder width which is definitely too small. The 123cm chest might be a bit too large though, the waist will definitely be too large. Any experiences from a weight lifter trying Cavour? I weigh around 94-95kg on 182cm.

Hello @kevinsvindland

I have question on the sizing of mod 3 trousers, I always wear 46 on mod 2. But comparing the size chart, I see the waist size of mod 3 trouser in 46 only around 76.5, while mod 2 is 80.5. Should I go up to 48 on mod 3?

Not Kevin, but I use the same size for both - with mod 3 being more generous in the seat and thighs especially.

Someone please do a man a solid and spare him having to sleuth: help me get the bonus stuff.
1. What's the difference between issued/saved bonus?
2. Does either expire?
3. Perhaps the stupidest of the trio, is this USD I'm looking at IRT bonus (issued and saved)?

I ask 3 because once upon a way back (not via Cavour), I was thrilled to basically fund an entire suit purchase with points...only to find out the dollars accrued were of the Hong Kong varietal

 

[MrNestor]

Haha, what a dissapointment for you.

My bonus is in the currency I pay with, SEK, if it's any help.
Since it is 5% out of what you shopped for during a timeperiod it should be simple to deduce for you.
