Hi @kevinsvindland any chance your house brand producing some Gun Club Check jacket in the near future? These two are from Ring Jacket. Not sure if I am allowed to post it. I just like the fabric. Thanks!

Those brogue oxfords are very nice. If I didn't already have oxfords for every occasion I would have pounced on those. Museum burgundy calf for a very competitive price!

love how dark the burgundy is! How would you compare sizing to other brands that you have?
The soft chisel last has a quiet generous fit and a wide forefoot comparing with Löf &Tung last S, Meermin Olfe and Hiro, Carlos Santos 234, I had to go a half size down to a 10UK.
Below some pictures of the Cavour Soft chisel vs L&T Bingham last S.
I personally do prefer the esthetics of the Cavour while L&T maybe pays much more attention to details.

Nice! The soft chisel is the same as the chukkas, right? I had to sell them since they were to big for me but I was impressed with the quality of the suede and construction. Want to buy them again but would need to downsize.

I would say yes but I am not sure, maybe the Cavour team could help with this.

Hi @kevinsvindland

I'm looking to make a purchase on the s120 suit. I believe I should fit 44 (the same size I'm wearing for my Ring Jacket). Unfortunately the size guide on the site starts from size 46 onwards. Could you advise me the measurements for 44? I tried writing an email to [email protected] but no responses so far.

Thanks!

I ordered the Summertime suit in 52 as it was the only one left in stock. I ordered this thinking 90% chance it's going back because it won't work on my body. Picked it up and tried on briefly today.

The Cavour cut fits almost perfectly RTW. Sizing advice of the Cavour cut being fuller in the chest and back was spot on. The only thing that needs to be altered is sleeves need to be shortened and pants need to be hemmed. Maybe the waist brought in an inch. The 7 drop is a blessing over the standard 6.

The only suspicious thing that caught my eye is a possible shoulder divot and sleeve pitch because of the extended shoulder. But it could also be because it's right out of the box and needs time to air out.

The fabric is awesome. Very lightweight and very much "summertime."

I didn't find the jacket length to be short for me. I think it's just right. Though I can see some folks would prefer it slightly longer.

For anyone reading this and having questions about sizing. I would say Suitsupply Havana = extra slim fit; Spier & Mackay Contemporary = slim fit; Cavour's cut = traditional. That's based on the body type of a person who's at the gym 5x a week. YMMV.

Sorry if this has been discussed, I looked back about 10 pages and didn't see anything, but how is the outerwear sizing for SS20? I'm a size 50 Cavour blazer (40R Spier & Mackay Contemporary) but sized up to 52 for the Sportivo down jacket last F/W based on the guidance, and even that is a bit snug zipping all the way up with anything substantial underneath (kind of wish I tried it on before clipping the tags because the 54 was prob the right call). Anyway, any sizing advice on the Field Jackets for example (Nylon or Linen)?
