Hello my friend. Excellent choice of blazer. Based on my experience with mtm rtw & bespoke suits and jackets the back is totally wrong. This break in the right side isn't correct. The back should be clean. Also the sleeves needs to be shortened for 1-2cm. My advice is to go to a skilled tailor. He will what this blazer needs.

When we buy a rtw garment 99.9% of the times we need to perform some extra tailoring to achieve the petrfect fit.

Regards,

Nicolas

Thank you so much! I already decided to keep the jacket and sent it to the tailor. He is fixing the sleeves right now. When he is done with that I will ask him to fix the back. Is there anything specific I should ask him to do with the back?

Just to drape clean. Without breaks here and there

historically yes but always a risk. Really want it or not?

Clothing is always a whim. Risk is something else.

Hello guys,

I just bought a sport coat from Cavour and wondered if it fits correctly. I think the shoulders are okay but I'm not sure about the back. Can you guys give some advice? This is the first non-navy sport coat that I have bought and I made an account just to get your views about it. It's the beige wool silk linen sport jacket.

I'm also wearing the pearl grey high twist wool Natalino trousers, a burgundy grenadine grossa tie by Amidé Hadelin and a sky blue OCBD with a Broke and Bespoke collar by Luxire (sorry for not buttoning the collar lol).

Edit: this is a size 50. I'm 183cm tall and weigh about 75kg.

it might be because I’m a bit younger and a bit more fashion forward than most guys here (not meant negatively) but I think 48 might work better for you.

Thanks for the advice! I think you're right. I chose this size because I already wear a size 50 in a SuitSupply suit and thought this sport coat would fit somewhat the same. I guess I can try bulking up a bit haha.

It’s hard to tell from the pictures and I’m not a tailor but from the picture of the back it looks like the shoulders might be too wide for you based on how the sleeve collapses in against your arm. I circled that. The back - It’s hard to tell if it’s just how you’re standing or the angle of the picture but your right shoulder looks dropped compared to your left shoulder and more sloped which may be causing the break along the back on that side or making it worse. Could check in the tailors thread for suggestions on tweaks.

Is the white thing sticking out part of the canvas or is it part of the exterior fabric? Either way, is there any harm in cutting it off?

 

[St1X]

Any owners of a solaro suits? From photos they look like they just herringbone suits, not solaro. Also it's pretty obvious from the photo that the lapel button hole is machine made, although description says it's hand made

Has anyone had trouble with Cavour returns?
Their DHL return label generation is automatic via their website, but it only generates the label. It does not generate a customs invoice and Waybill doc, which I always receive for any international DHL returns. I emailed them about it, and they don't seem to be aware of what I'm referring to, which is quite surprising. I've never done a DHL return for items ordered from Europe without those documents, so I doubt customs will process the order properly without them.

Proforma invoices are a thing of the past in Norway.
All is digital now.

However some DHL curiers may not be aware, and are instructed to always bring a stack of papers.

CAvour may be the first I've seen do it that way. So much nicer...than printing 3 copies of those invoices.
