The advanced proportion CVJ25 GBS Fratelli Piacenza "Alashan Breath’’ handmade supersuit: now available in the lightest pure cashmere suiting cloth in the world…

THE silhouette's full bodied curves and proportions...sculpted, sophisticated, sensational... hark back and take inspiration from GBS's classic early 1980's original Grey Card Series designs and evolves them into a cleaner more contemporary sports inspired look with raglan sleeves and strategic dart seam detailing. It’s exaggerated large proportions are deceptively flattering for a wide range of body shapes (even though its cut large it doesn’t make you look so, because the cloth is so fluid and drapes so well- it allows for movement, with grace and agility and keeps you so cool, because air passes freely around you. Inside, you are soothed in pure Como Silk satin original "rinascimento" renaissance print linings that keeps you amazingly comfortable--allowing you to focus on whatever you have to do. Designed for climate change, it works for you in both hot and cool weather--a true transitional non-seasonal part of your wardrobe. And of course it's maniacal attention to detail at every corner, zero compromise on any material or component, and unique GBS hand accident dyed fabric treatment and finishing all combine the world's most advanced design concepts with extreme handmade artisanal technology and clothesmaking excellence. Powerful, beautiful and usable everyday. But as always, GBS cannot be for everyone. And there is only 1 of these CVJ25 suits built in the entire world.
