Any minute now, the truck carrying them should pull up outside my window.

We'll try to have the new outerwear processed and shot asap, so should be online sometime next week.

No, not yet anyway.
But we might pick up some from Drakes if they stock the same ones as previous seasons.

Does anyone know the fabric weight on the Loro Piana herringbone tweed jackets? I just ordered one in navy, and I'm curious if it's strictly a winter jacket. It would be great if it's appropriate for three season wear, but for the incredible price I wouldn't be too disappointed if it's heavier either.

That is a good one!

It is 300g/m - From the bunch called Sopra Visso.

Will work well now, but likely on the warm side from mid-april through september.
(Depending on where in the world you are ofcourse..)

I'm a local, so I would think that a 300g/m jacket would serve me well for a good chunk of the year. How would you say it compares to VBC's 340g/m flannels in terms of warmth? A softer and lighter weight tweed sounds fantastic.

Very different fabrics, so hard to say.. I would guess the LP is probably warmer due to the way the fabric is woven. The classic 340 VBC flannel is pretty flat and dense, whereas this fabric is more spongy, and insulates a little more.

Okay, that gives me a pretty good idea of what to expect. Thanks!

I just got hit with a pretty hefty import tax bill for my Cavour order. I’m in the EU. Previous orders didn’t have this.
Anyone else experienced this before? I sent @kevinsvindland already a message about it.

I want to purchase a navy blazer in Cavours mod 2 fitting as I feel it fits so incredibly well, but I don't know which one to pick - there are so many on the site! Which one would you guys recommend?

I picked the herringbone for myself. But might snap up the cashmere silk one as well...?
