As for the 100 Hands cloth, I have no idea to be honest. Because they rarely disclose the mill unless it is Loro Piana or Alumo.

If it looks and feels nice, I just buy it.
And dont care too much where the cloth is from, because it makes very little difference.
Usually from usual suspects like Albini Group, Söktas, Monti, Miletta, Grandi & Rubinelli, Alumo or LP (mostly jersey fabrics)

It is 100% cotton, roughly 140/150g

Gotcha.

I should have expressed myself better - I wanted to know if you have any impressions on hand feel, heaviness, and differences vs any previous white OCBD models. For example, last season's was very much a lighter, smarter looking Royal Oxford cloth (which I also really like and wear a lot) whereas the one before was a proper robust oxford cloth, very similar to the one SC does with Luca Avitabile.

More akin to the latter then. Substantial, but not winter heavy.

Speaking of SC,
We used a Permanent Style fabric for a chambray shirt with button down collar and placket this season. Should also be available soon.

The PS chambray is excellent, I own a 100 Hands-made button-down in it, very good casual option.

Edit: Will it happen before the sale ends? Might as well save on courier fees.

Should be up sometime next week, along with a few more 100 Hands shirts.

Hi all,

I’m very interested in purchasing a couple of suits from Cavour for some upcoming wedding events. Going through the previous messages in this thread, seems like their suit trousers fit too tight/skinny. Is that still true? I have athletic legs and I encounter this problem with the trousers being too tight with brands like SuitSupply, hence can’t wear their RTW suits. I wear US 42 in RLPL, Giorgio Armani, and Ermenegildo Zegna. Based off of that, should I stick to my regular size or size up? As for the trousers, does Cavour offer trouser swap? Any advice/suggestions/recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

New trouser model will be introduced this spring, end feb / early march.
Three shades of safe and sound grey fresco in the first go around, and more to follow for FW23.

A selection of jackets in long sizes will be introduced for FW23.

My Mod 2 chinos were definitely thigh and calf hugging. I’m fairly sure the suit pants are cut in the Mod 2. I have a narrow waist and large calves and moderate butt/thighs.

They fortunately had a lot of spare material to let them out a couple of cm but I think I didn’t let them out enough and they still cling to my calves a little. If I let them out to the full extent of the material it would probably be enough. But then it can affect the balance of the trouser - ends up being a lot of alteration work especially if you don’t have someone reliable to do the work locally.

I don’t really have a local tailor per se but I could take it to my nearest Nordstrom. You think this is something the Nordstrom alterations will be able to handle or would they mess it up? Also, if you don’t mind me asking, how much did the alteration cost you? Thank you.

 

[BananaKing]

Ah probably not relevant as I’m in a smaller city in Australia. Cost me half of the price of the chinos to get them altered. I bought the chinos half price though.

I’m sure most competent places can let the leg out no worries. It’s just a much bigger job than a hem thus the cost.

The jackets are amazing and have a wonderful fit, but the trousers like most people mentioned is really slim. Almost Suitsupply style. If you have muscular calves or legs, I wouldn’t recommend it.

Bummer! Their suits look good. Hope they fix the fitting/sizing on their trousers.

Can I please request pictures along with comments on fit.

Advice on fit is pretty useless without any reference other than a written personal opinion.

 

[C_kimlin920]

Here you go. Not my photos but its already been discussed on this thread and I can also agree after trying on the suit, it was too slim.

This one is altered with the maximum allowance even sized up which customers do not have the option to do with a Suit since it comes as a set.
