Hey Kevin, as an fyi, found a small typo on the page.

On the right side: 'selcetion'

Also, love the Orazio drop.

Ah, Richard is one of my favorite people, but sometimes he writes a little too fast..

Any plans for including fabric info on the product page? Not necessarily the mill, but perhaps the content (wool, wool/linen mix, etc), weave (twill vs plain), weight gsm/oz ?

Mill is must and yeah their product descriptions are kind of lacking, would be good to have the specifics in the name of transparency... would make my purchase decisions much easier.

Work in progress. Bear with me!
Hopefully I'll manage to write on all products missing descriptions during Monday and Tuesday this coming week.
(Looking forward to the day when we have a team to handle all this stuff...)

Whats online now (Overcoats, Jackets, Voyager Jackets) is from Loro Piana, as every other mill decided to not deliver in time.
But the remaining stuff should not be too far away now. Quite a few Marling&Evans fabrics, Plenty of VBC stuff, Some Lovat and some really really nice Wes Andersony Cord from Pontoglio.
(So good actually, that any other brand doing cord suits this season can go **** in their hats..)

Sounds very similar to offerings from S&M. Why the switch to Pontoglio for cords?

Peretty Similar to Canali, Caruso and Ring Jacket aswell, I guess.
All usual suspects.

Pontoglio has better colorcards/finish than the others.

At least the Cavour brand is more traditional / conservative cut than SM with that same old world full canvas old world feel as well.

There must be misunderstanding from different parties. I did not state that they were similar as a knock on Cavour. Simply wanted to point out that the fabric selections were similar. Carry on now.

Oh then even within the same mill there are so many opposite variations. And there less than 10 mills being used by rtw a lot.

Now our new items all have more detailed descriptions, let the purchasing commence! ?

 

[othertravel]

Maybe I missed it, but I thought you were starting to offer DB suits. Is that still happening?

Suits and jackets are only about 30% delivered, so there are quite a few more inbound.

@kevinsvindland the Cavour fall collection is already looking great. For the field jacket, if i want to wear it over a size 50 sportscoat, do I take the same size for the field jacket?

Glad you like it! And hope you'll like our second drop too.

I would suggest one size up for a relaxed and natural look.
(50 over 50 will work, but you will risk looking a little like a young dutch stock broker..)
