We call it ‘Bosswear’ for the Creative Set
This incredible GBS 4-piece Supersuit is made in the world’s lightest pure cashmere suiting cloth--created for us by the oldest still operating woolen mill in the world and the most respected cashmere cloth makers on the planet--Fratelli Piacenza 1733 SpA in Pollone Biella...
IT'S called ‘Alashan Breath’ because it’s made from only pure cashmere fibres that come from Alashan, the region in the world where the world’s best cashmere comes from, and weighs a feather light 170 grams per meter- so light that it breathes, drapes, flows and stays cool when its hot, while the natural characteristics of the cashmere fibres naturally warm your body when its cold- beautifully hand dyed and treated with a gorgeous subtle chiaro scuro artisan effect that sets you apart from the typical "suits" crowd and even more importantly- a new level of softness and breathability that is unmatched in modern clothes. You can even sleep in it. And it's amazing for traveling. Plus, it’s a 4-piece suit: cut and tailored to wear in a million different ways for work, travel or play... wear it with or without the 4-pocket waistcoat that comes with its own superb matching scarf, or just the waistcoat by itself. Our classic alpina-based 5-button front jacket design can be worn buttoned all the way up for cold weather protection. Need pockets for your stuff? This suit gives you 13 of them.. all double stitched for reliability. Fully lined with exquisite pure Como silk world-exclusive Darklands "Caravaggio" print linings, with authentic pad-stitched lapels and collars, impeccable hand pick stitched detailing work in pure silk thread all over, and Fontana artisanal design real horn buttons all sewn by hand to give soft and secure service. Total game changer in modern clothing. A limited edition of only 3 of these supersuits in the world have been created.
