Can’t comment on suits / scs, but did just buy a pair of Cavour trousers. Very pleased with the purchase - very high quality for the price - but they do run trim. I’m a tagged w33 in most US makes, 50 in rota (medium-waist, model 1-5-6 from the rota website, need waist taken in about 3/4 inch), purchased the Cavour in 50, single pleat, cotton drill. They’re a little bit more trim all around than the rota pants. The upper block / butt and leg are both trim, but not constricting at all - for me, the cut is really very good (medium-high waist, trim, not much flappy excess fabric, etc.). My alterations tailor commented very favorably on them and he sees lots of high quality stuff. I’d add that the single pleat is quite small, so keeps the overall aesthetic slim. Hope this helps.

Few photos of the Cavour STD in Utah. I found them to fit a little larger compared to some other STDs I own (AM, SoH, CS)...instep is higher and toebox seems a little more spacious. Lacing was fully closed and the shoe still felt a bit loose. I’m planning to insert an insole to see if I can fill in the instep a bit.

Apologies for the photos being off 90 degrees.

Can anyone comment on the Cavour line of suits/jackets regarding fit? I'm generally a 42 in SuitSupply and Spier Mackay in the middle-slim lines. Also interested in trousers I suppose, normally a 36 in slims, but need a bit of space in da butt.
Jacket wise, sizing is relatively close. You'll find the slight extension on the shoulder of the Cavour jacket (which I love), and the overall length is about an inch shorter.

I did notice in the photos that their style is a bit shorter. Bummer about the trousers - probably means no-go for me.

@kevinsvindland Been waiting for my exchange for order 857 since December 23rd when the item was returned. Any help here would be appreciated, thanks.

Can those with experience speak to the Cavour house-brand sizing? Specifically, I'm looking at trying their dress shirts.

I'm a 15/33 in Brooks Brothers ESF - would I take a 15 in their house brand?

How accurate are the measurements on the website?

These STD look fantastic. Any idea who makes them for Cavour?

It is that I don’t need and can’t store any more suits but aside ring jacket and canals, house brand full canvas suits at less than 400$ is pretty insane...

Hi, is there a size chart for the 100 Hands shirts and also Cavour drill cotton trousers. Specifically, I am looking at size 40 for shirts and 48/50 for trousers. Thank you.

@kevinsvindland is the Ambrosi trousers measurement accurate? Size 48 has only 80 cm waist and 17cm leg opening? That’s like skin tight compare to S&M contemporary 32.

are there free returns? I'm tempted to get a few things but will need to buy multiple sizes to ensure I get the right fit - would need to return items which didn't work out.
