Looking to purchase some loafers and a Sartoria Cavour shirt if you can get the size chart up.

Size chart in the suede vest? Also any details on the make and suede? Looks like a versatile piece

A size chart will be up soon.
I find that it fits a little snug, so my advice is to go one up from your usual jacket size.

Made from a fine goat suede, soft and just «hairy» enough. Made by one of the best outerwear makers in Italy. Also making for Stoffa, Isaia, Ring Jacket and Caruso to name a few.

Could anyone provide some insight on sizing for the Bontoni De Sica loafers? I'm usually a pretty standard US10.5 / 44 but am wondering with these being loafers and likely only wearing light socks if the 43.5 might work with no 44s avail. Appreciation in advance!

My advice is to stick to your usual size. I wear 8,5 in C&J 325, EG 82 and Saint Crispin’s Classic. And 42,5 in this loafer.
Hope that helps!

Have the Edward Green's been pulled from the sale ? Or are they all sold out ?

We saw that there were some wrongs in the stock. So to avoid cancelled orders, they were taken down to be counted. Remaining shoes will be online by monday.

@kevinsvindland are the Bontoni's with leather soles all welted? I believe Bontoni makes several grades of construction, with some using Blake Rapid.

Specifically I'm curious about the Diamante Double Monks, and the Principe Loafers.

Thank you.

All our Bontoni shoes are either Goodyear or Norvegese.

Size charts will be up as soon as possible.
In some cases we are waiting for our suppliers to provide them.

Good afternoon! I was wondering if anyone has gotten this seasons summer high twist. I just purchased it and am curious about the true color. It looks like a tan in the picture, but it is listed as grey. I'd prefer it be tan. Can anyone confirm?

Which article nr did you get?

Cross-posting alert ____________________

As @dieworkwear kindly wrote a wonderful article on spring tailorings, which i highly recommend, i thought it proper that i venture into opening up the discussion on some of the grails I’m eyeing for at Cavour, who is doing a site-wide 30% off sale. All seem to be beautifully made, and i’m just a bit too bewildered to make a choice. (again, related to Derek’s write-up on the importance of small businesses):

1. Navy mockleno

This definitely falls into ‘The Basic’ category. Surprisingly I still don’t have a single breaste navy sport coat (so can only do with wearing the navy suit jacket). It’s currently on sale at $564. Not at the most attractive price for me to cop now since i may well encounter one just as good (and especially since I can go to a Mirador baotou sifu alternatively, at similar cost). But this navy hopsack is just so quintessential.

2. Oatmeal wool-linen hopsack

This lies between ‘The Basic’ and ‘The Advanced’, in that the light colour is immediately noticeably different from your navy and grey, but the pale oatmeal keeps it neat, versatile and professionally appropriate. I particularly like the understated textures. It’s currently selling at $420, very lucrative.

3. Navy Glencheck silk

An antithesis to the one above, this one’s got dark colour but some deep tone variations in the glenchecks and rich lustre. Goes with anything short of my light grey PoW fresco trousers. It is selling at $480.

I do have 2 bits of concern though, being longevity / fragility, and that silk might not wear as cool as wool mockleno or wool-silk hopsack in tropical HK. (Anecdotally, I heard that pure silk jackets stink after being cleaned?)

4. Light brown checked silk

Outright a more casual option in ‘The Advanced’ category, without looking too oustentious. Easy to wear with mid to dark grey trousers, but also cream. Selling at $480.

Though probably not so easy to wear with checkered summer ties (especially the cotton madras ones or woven tartan ones from Brooks Brothers) since their checks are of a similar scale?

My spring / summer tailorings at hand are basically a structured navy suit, a soft suit in light grey PoW, a navy DB sport coat in 8oz LGB (which might be a bit light weight / too fine to be worn too frequently, and which errs a bit into ‘The Very Advanced’ category in Derek’s write-up?), a bottle green Farquharson tartan sport coat in cotton-linen, a milk-and-sugar seersucker from Uniqlo (which has like 0.5 inch lapels and can only be worn in a few occasions).

Love to hear your thoughts.

Again, hope it would ease up real soon, and wish you guys at Cavour the best!
Cheers,

I’d say the picture is quite accurate. So it is more tan than grey. Probably just a typo when it was registered in the system.
