What fabric are you using in the non-cashmere Voyager jackets? They look fantastic, and I'm fighting the urge to impulse buy it in all colors... I wish they had sleeve lining, though. Hopefully they're successful enough to become a staple jacket style for your future collections. I'd love to see it in some rougher tweeds.

Maybe that can be MTO’d? @kevinsvindland ?

@kevinsvindland what is the fabric composition/provenance of this one? https://cavour.co/en/product/3513/mod-2-herringbone-jacket
Think I am going to get this in the end, though I can't quite decide whether I need the 46 or 48 (eternal struggle for me, having a 37'' chest). Measures seem roomy enough that I should be able to size down, but on the other hand, it's easier to take in than out.

VBC 100% wool

As for size if in doubt, go with the larger one. Far easier to get right with an alterations tailor.

Will be much better in terms of product info, so just bear with me! Hehe..
(And Yes, fabric weight will also be included)

Really love the new season items, but looking forward to fabric weight/info and model/fit info! Especially curious how the Voyager jackets compare to the new (Mod 2?) LP jackets

The page doesn't show anything LP or even fabric composition. Only the very high top of the range price :)


We had some issues with the "material" tab, that is supposed to be displayed on the product page.
Where I have entered all the fabric info on all the new products. Should be up again as soon as our nerds figure out where it has gone....

Hi Kevin,

Could you just confirm the new cashmere knits are all 100% cashmere? They look absolutely fantastic, have my eye on a few of them already.

Also, is sizing the same as previous cashmere knits? I purchased a v-neck last year and unfortunately it was a bit larger than I thought it’d be, which worked out ok for layering over shirts anyways. What size does your model wear and how tall is he?

Thanks!

Hi,

Glad you like them!

They are all 100% Cashmere, and the sizing is the same as before.

Håkon is wearing a Medium, and he is 185 cm tall.

I would say sizing is pretty much in line with our tailoring.
48-S, 50-M, 52-L, 54-XL
