I would normally say to follow tradition, and wear a Bunad or a nice suit. But this year a nice t-shirt and a good pair of jeans will probably do just fine.. Hehe..

Jeans and t-shirt? Dont you sell suits for a living? ;)

Every year i think about wearing a lightly colored spring SC but I always end up in my wool/mohair navy fresco suit. This year I wore it with cavour Black penny loafers which proved to have excellent traction earning me a victory in the dads potato run.

Taking our new unlined loafer for a spin today. The Castorino suede is so amazingly soft.

Do any of your sport coat come in long versions? Say 81 cm + backlength?

Not at the moment, no.

But we are in the early stages of developing an MTO program that allows small changes like length.
Still in early stages, so I cant say when we will be able to roll it out.

@kevinsvindland I'm curious whether your team has any thoughts about lengthening the standard sleeve length on your suits. I've always felt shortening sleeves were a cleaner alteration than lengthening them. I look about the same as the model (is that Hakon?) when wearing Cavour suits and to my eyes, the jacket sleeve is noticeably short by 1-2cm.

The most common alteration in our stores is to shorten the sleeve 1-2 cm, so my experience is that the current sleeve length is pretty good. The ham buttonholes are also very easy to remove without leaving marks, so lengthening the sleeves should not be an issue for a decent alterations tailor.

In that case, it definitely doesn't make sense to change the standard sleeve length. Thank you for the response.
