There’s a size chart for the jeans on the website

Thanks. Did you see my DM about the Del Corso Bontoni apparently excluded from the sale?

 

[kevinsvindland]

Are these sanforized and prewashed @kevinsvindland? Any expected shrinkage and I guess the best for sizing is to measure my best fitting jeans and compare?

They are all pre washed and sanforized, so no significant shrinkage.
I have run the production sample through some very hard stress tests and multiple washes. I would say it holds up very well.

Looks like I missed a nice Drakes shirt. Or maybe it was a limited size run. Any idea if you are expecting more Drakes this season?

I forgot to ask, how’s the weight of these? Are they suitable for summer? And are they 100% cotton?

also besides rise, are mod 88 and 22 the same fit?

To my knowledge there will be no more seasonal deliveries. As this season pretty much got sabotaged by the covid-19 situation. No point in buying more stock to put on sale.

The weight is good for year around wear. I dont recall what the weight pr/m is, but it is right in the middle somewhere.
They are 98 cotton 2 elastane, for that little bit of extra comfort. (Like the top selling Jacob Cohen qualities..)

Denim supplied by Italian mill Candiani.

Can I get measurements for the Cavour Linen Safari jacket, specifically size 52 and 54?

What weight is the linen?

thanks Kevin, I’m a bit confused at the size chart. The 88 seems to have higher rose than the 22 but the 22 seems to have more forgiving, straighter cut legs. Which one is the slimmest?

Interesting that it contains elastane.
You should definitely add that to the description.

I'll echo what others have noted that the Cavour shoes seem slightly larger than normalt. UK8 in the captoe suedes were just a little too large for me, which was too bad because they look great and seem well constructed. I use UK8 in Loake Capital last and most other English brands.

More disappointing was the C&J Malton which had obvious differences in colour and finish between the left and right shoe. The left was one much brighter and had several scratches in the polish. Maybe it was stored in a sunlit window on display? Though it's still Crockett & Jones, so I've asked for a return in the same size (UK8).

It is already there, but under «description» below the text.

The 88 is the slimmest.
Though we are working on one that is higher rise and more spacious. But sampling and the process in general is very delayed due to the situation in Italy.

In what way does the cavour line run larger?

width? Instep? Length?

@kevinsvindland going to buy a pair of shoes and have them shipped to the USA. On the cart it shows up as being charged as USD, will I be charged USD or EUROS since on my bank card I do get hit with a 3% foreign transaction
