CAVOUR Official Community - Discuss Tailoring, Shirting, Shoes & More - Official Affiliate Thread

As you say, who knows when your tailor may open again. Would it be feasible for Cavour to extend a return period for who knows when?

I'm not asking for indefinite. A blanket extension of however many days longer than 14 is reasonable, that's why I asked for them to consider it. BB is now 60 days, forum sponsors Sartoriale/Luxgentleman are 30 which at least allows for the opportunity of these shops to open. I'm also trying to offer the incentive of me spending a bunch more money if they increase it In the USA, federal social distance guidelines will be extended to April 30, so not a sole can go to a tailor respecting that until then. These are some weird times.

Ordered C&J suede Cavendish on Thursday, and received delivery in South Florida yesterday. Great service. Also, it's in polo suede, not snuff suede as stated on the website.

Sorry if this has been addressed already (I checked back the last few pages on comments), but the website states 20-50% off all products, yet many of the products I'm looking at have no discount added to them. is there a blanket discount that is added at checkout to those items? or am I missing something really simple.?

I got the same ones too pal. Just received them earlier today.

They look bloody fantastic, but I was a bit unsure about the fit. I know loafer are a tricky style to fit, but I had no other choice but to go with UK 7.5 because that was the smallest Cavour had. They feel better with an insole, but the heels are a bit loose. I ordered some tongue pads to see if they'll do the trick.

Would Cavour consider increasing their return period? All tailors are closed in my area due to government decree, and I am uncomfortable ordering some more expensive items without discussing the fit with my tailor. A lot of stores have increased this period, as who knows when my tailor is allowed to open again.

Hi,

Given the uncertainty of this situation it is very difficult to figure out what would be reasonable.
But, we are more than willing to advise you on fit and what alterations can be done, via pictures or a video call. Maybe that could help?

It could be as simple as to clear your browser cache. When I look at it now I see alot of little discount blips on all items.

Quick question -- how much stretch would you expect on a pair of Dovers (London Grain with R2) or Galways (Utah/Dainite). Both came recently (thank you Kevin and Sebastian) and they fit well ... as long as they don't get too much bigger or wider overall. I'd be more concerned if these were loafers, where I'd need to size down to allow for stretch. With lace-ups, I would imagine there's some wiggle room on sizing. Thanks! John

Hi,

I own both mink suede and London Grain Shoes, and would not worry too much about them expanding. Mine have kept their shape very well. As one would expect from EG.

Thanks Kevin. My first experience with Edward Green and couldn't be happier -- the Dover fits like a glove. Also my first experience with Cavour -- equally good. You, Sebastian, and Robin have been very helpful, as well as patient with fit and related questions.

@kevinsvindland Hi Kevin, any sizing advice for the Bontoni Diamonte Double Monks as it looks like that last has a narrower, less rounded toe?

Great! Thanks for the kind words, and thanks again for your order. Enjoy your EGs, I trust they will live up to both your expectations and their reputation.

Hi,

This one just landed while I am away from the store, so I have yet to make up an opinion. It should be fairly similar to the Principe loafers. But if you shoot us an email on [email protected], Sebastian and Robin might be able to provide a better answer.

Come on man... I get that it sucks they cancelled your order but I think you're going a bit overboard here. Let's be clear on what this is - a slight inconvenience, please don't act like they wronged you. Even if it was completely "normal" times right now, inaccurate stock levels happen and sometimes orders get cancelled. He offered you a refund plus a discount on your next order to make up for the inconvenience. They're not in the business of selling EG at 30% off 24/7.

That being said, keep in mind what's happening around the world right now (in terms of the human and medical crisis element) and why they're having a sale to begin with. Who knows what's going on as far as supply chain disruptions, maybe it's not trivial to order another pair from EG directly (a bunch of factories are closed). Shipping is being heavily stressed right now, a bunch of things aren't working like normal, etc. Frankly it's really inconsiderate of you especially to blast this out on their affiliate thread (I'm assuming with the intention of trying to force them to give you what you want, otherwise you'd keep it private through email).

Thanks Kev and Cavour for quick turnaround - 100H
