After watching your video, I ordered and received my first Cavour sports jacket. I bought a size 48 Montecarlo Jacket at half price from their website; It is a perfect fit straight out of the box, quality of the material, fabric and workmanship is outstanding. I also ordered a shirt from their sartorial range, which is equally well-made. Overall, I am satisfied with the purchase but will only purchase at the discounted price. The only issue is an extra 5 kilos of fat that I need to shed, but it is a "me" problem, not a Cavour problem.
I lover Cavour in general. Have several jackets and coats from them. The only issue though is that there trousers are pretty slim fit and low rise, which I don't like.
@@gentlemenscholarsclub Great - look forward to it! I guess I have a long body so I find anything lower than Berg&Berg is too low! And if you know of any good RTW trousers that are higher rise than Berg&Berg I'd love to know about them!
Have you tried Pini Parma? They might be between Spier Mackay and Cavour in price, and have some pieces in Loro Piana fabrics. Pini is also Neapolitan in style and are made in Italy.
Pini and Spier Mackay are similar in size. I typically get a 45 R custom with Spier Mackay and 54/44 with Pini Parma. Pini has slimmer trouser legs than contemporary Spier Mackay.
Yes, I have some Pini Parma, though not jackets. They are slimmer for sure, again in an Italian style. Trousers are quite slim and tapered in the leg, for example. I've written about them and used them as examples in articles I've written for The Gentleman's Gazette. They are definitely a strong option in the "affordable tailoring" category.
You mentioned Spier and Mackay, I like alot of things about Spier and Mackay but they really need to change their Made to order program, it is absolutely horrendous in my opinion. I wish Suitsupply would get some nice tweeds and some cloth with interesting patterns and textures. Spier and Mackay definitely has interesting cloth in my view.
What happened in the MTO--size irregularity? I got one done that way and it was fine though lack of standardization can arise in MTO programs depending on quality control.
Suitsupply's quality has gone down over the last few years. I am not sure whether is due to the pandemic or me having a different taste as I get more into more classic style.
I am a 38 contemporary in Spier and 38 in Susu, if I want to wear something fairly fitted. I usually size up for RJ--not the Armoury ones but the ones mainly intended for the Japanese market (Model 354 and --and it gives me more of a full-cut look. I think I could wear a 38 too but it would be slim
Thank you for introducing Cavour to all of us.

That's awesome. Did you size up or is 48 your regular size?

Agreed. I'll do a video on the Model 2 trouser shortly.

Great video, Cavour is a top notch brand. What's your opinion on Rampley?
I haven't bought from them. I like the concept of art pocket squares but don't usually do satin silks but cottons, linens and wools and more plain.

@@georgiosyiannakou5537 suitsupply is garbage . decent fabric but quality is poor
I find their price to be comparable with ring jacket carried by andreaseoul. Which one do you think is higher quality/better value? Thanks
I am first and foremost a Ring Jacket guy and find their fit to be top notch.
@@gentlemenscholarsclub great! I typically wear 38 for suitsupply and spier and maKay, would you recommend sizing up to 50 for ring jacket?
