EXCLUSIVE HAND-WASHED PURE COMO SILK 16 MOMME RASO SATIN LAS “DARK BUTTERFLIES" LUXURY PRINT FABRIC WITH PURE SILK BATTING, E. GHIRINGHELLI SPECIAL LININGS, SILK HAND-STITCHED BUTTONHOLES & FONTANA LEATHER AND HORN BUTTONS
This special version of the GBS Evolution I super limited edition CVJ10 quilted vest design is the only one of its kind made in the entire world. It was created exclusively to propose an exquisitely beautiful, genderless, superb layering piece for timeless all-season relaxed at-home working and living in super-elegance and comfort. The extreme hand-made waistcoat design can also be worn outside with spectacular effect for dress and casual occasions and is created from a modified handmade 5-button vintage workwear waistcoat pattern with diagonal pockets and varsity collar from our extensive tailoring research. It was cut using a special pure Como silk exclusive “Dark Butterflies” print 16-momme raso satin cloth developed by the artist LAS and made only for us by the legendary Brenna family in Como Italy, the world’s leading center for fine silk production, combined with a new superlux feather light all natural (no poly or synthetic fiber fillers) Italian pure silk batting interior developed in Bergamo, and finished with a dramatic lining story in jacquard loomed luxury viscosa lining fabric made for us by Ezio Ghiringhelli in Varese. The piece was then specially washed and treated by hand in our world-famous GBS Superworkrooms in Cavarzere Venezia for extra aging, shaping and softness. The design features single-piece individual single-stitch diagonal diamond quilting detail work, elegant hand cut diagonal besom well pockets, and relaxed curved varsity style collar which can be worn up or down, exquisitely clean finished fully-lined interior construction which could be worn inside out, stunning new advanced leather and lacquered horn buttons produced specially for us by the world’s greatest button-makers- Cinzia and Claudio Fontana in Parma, Italy, and five of our signature real hand-stitched silk buttonholes (that require at least 8-10 minutes to create each one) in luxurious pure silk Bozzolo Reale Milano Seta threads. The piece also features our world leading pure silk label created exclusively for us by Mion SpA in Torreglia which is the first label in the luxury industry to completely eliminate plastic polyester yarns in it. The piece comes with both a matching deluxe pure silk GBS handmade triple filtration tailor's respiratory community mask and advanced side-vented mask designs in the matching silk fabric as standard equipment for Covid-19 pandemic protection wear and special gift with purchase for participating in Evolution I. Variations in color and color density are not imperfections or irregularities, but specific characteristics of the special hand making techniques. Please treat buttons and buttonholes with care. We recommend professional cleaning or hand wash in cold water and protect buttons with foil or plastic wrap when washing. Do not wash with other items. Do not put in washer or dryer.
