I have a Cavour Mod 2, Armoury Model 3, and a RLPL handmade cashmere blazer. Honestly don’t think there is an appreciable difference in quality, I would go with whatever fits you best.

Do you find that you have wide shoulders? If so I would avoid the Cavour as I find them to have quite narrow shoulders and would likely cause divots. That being said, I actually find Cavour to have a bit more space in the chest relative to the same size Armoury Model 3.

edit: I see you tried the cavour but found the chest tight. What size are you normally? I would consider sizing up and taking in the waist.

Yeah I might bite the bullet and try a size up from Cavour, Armoury Model 3 and maybe Drake’s and keep what fits best.

I’m normally a 40/50. I have a Canali sports jacket that’s a 48 that’s a little tight but still wearable. The Cavour 40/50 just puckered out at chest. Maybe it was the buttoning point, was higher than other jackets?

I’d skip Drake’s to be honest, it’s only a half canvassed garment. you pay a massive premium for the branding / edit.
Ok thanks for feedback. I did also want to try Drake’s suede bomber jacket which I kind of want but definitely don’t need so that was kicking around. 🤣
