Though I'd love a pair of StC, I opted to grab the new Cavour penny loafer in drak brown suede. Surprisingly I didn't have one and the Almond 2 last works so well for me

Interested in cavour suits but wary of internet sizing. Can anyone here compare cavour suit sizing to Spier and Mckay suits? Their neo cut fits great in 40R contemp. Thanks

I also take a 40 in S&M neo contemporary, and the Cavour 40 jacket fit me like a glove, although it was a touch shorter but I did not mind. However the pants were too tight for me even with the allowances let all the way out.

How's the rise on the trousers?

thanks, that's really helpful. I should be ok for pants as I take 32 contemp with 40 R suit instead of 34.
Though, Neo is just the right length and I might not like any shorter than that

Agree with @nishant Cavour has better quality and construction, but the lower rise was exacerbated by the snug thighs on me. It made them look lower than they probably on normal proportions. The rise in SM neo is better on me.

So if you’re normal size in terms of thighs and calves it should be doable, but if your legs are stronger I’d be weary.

Length was within 2cm I’d guess at most, but I haven’t verified that with numbers. It did not feel noticeably shorter.

What I said to myself was more like, “is this a bit shorter?” Rather than “this is definitely shorter.”

SM 36S Contemp feels similar to Cavour 36.

Sorry for the double post, but it appears that my order has already been shipped, but when I try to track the parcel via the links in the email, nothing is showing up on the website. Anyone else having this issue?

Hey Cavour,
Trying to make a purchase but there does not seem to be the option to select “Ontario” as a province when I’m in the shipping window
