Cavalievre
It all started in the textile city of Sweden, Borås, and the year was 1973. CAVALIERE is a family-owned company, and the second generation is now in charge of the company. Since the start, the business idea has been to provide high-quality suits for a reasonable price, and the idea is still the same. We should not exclude anybody; we should work with a big size range and of course different models for different bodies. We should offer a trustable stock to give our clients the possibility to restock within 24 hours.
In the small village of Jesenik, actually mainly known for its winter activities with skiing slopes, the CAVALIERE factory is placed. CAVALIERE has a long history producing in this village, but only since 2012 the factory has been owned by CAVALIERE. The decision to start our own production was not easy, and of course, the development phase since 2012 has been sometimes difficult, but unbelievable interesting. The result is much better than expected!
Today we are proud to be one of the few factories in the world being able to produce our garments in the traditional Italian way, but updated in an industrial way, so-called “Sartorial Make”. This means we are stitching the form of the jacket, instead of using heat and glue. We use high-quality canvas in the front to give the jacket a smooth feeling, and best of all, the jacket will stay in this form for its lifetime, no matter dry-cleaning or a humid day. The shoulders are recut by hand to make the smooth form from the shoulder to the sleeve, the buttons are stitched as the tailors do. The jacket is closed under the collar, to be able to control the length of the lining. To summarize it takes us a bit more than 200 minutes to produce one single jacket, instead of the normal 80 minutes.
