THIS special version of the super limited edition GBS Evolution X EV10C06 coat design is one of only 2 pieces of its kind made by hand in the entire world, each exclusively for Leclaireur Hérold in Paris. It was created from our exclusive tailored Evolution X secret styling direction 10-button double-breasted topcoat reproduction from our extensive tailoring research, and cut using an incredible fabric using completely natural chemical-free wool yarns sourced from the indigenous breed of small Alpagota sheep located in the Alpago Valley of Italy, near Belluno about 100km from our workrooms in the Veneto region and completely handwoven into a phenomenal historical reproduction twill first made by the Italian Franciscan monks in the 13th century exclusively for us on the legendary 18th century wooden hand looms of Tessitura La Colombina in Badoere di Morgano, Italy that required more than 2 days just to make enough cloth for the single jacket--combined with a beautiful lining composition story of jacquard weave viscosa luxury lining fabrics made by Ezio Ghiringhelli in Varese, Italy--then specially dyed, washed, shaped and treated by hand in our world-famous GBS Superworkrooms at Cavarzere using a process which required over 12 hours of expert work to achieve its special colors, patina effects, shaping, drape and softness. The design features a slightly military-inspired lean dropped collar slightly fitted 10-button long trench coat cut, with impeccable handcut large besom welt pockets and classic inside besom pocket all fully self-lined in the original precious fabric for maximum comfort and durability, handbuilt center back vent, beautiful clean-finished fully-lined interior construction, generous 2.5 centimeter seam allowances on major fitting seams which allow the coat to be easily altered for long term wear and service, extraordinary buttons in real horn made only for us by the world's greatest living buttonmakers--Claudio and Cinzia Fontana in Parma, Italy--and no less than 8 of our signature real hand stitched buttonholes (each one required 12-16 minutes to cut and sew on the challenging textured twill fabric) in pure silk Bozzolo Reale Milano Seta threads. The piece is hand signed and numbered by the designer and also features our world leading pure silk hand dyed label created exclusively for us by Mion SpA in Torreglia--the first label in the luxury industry to completely eliminate plastic polyester yarns it--exquisitely attached entirely by hand using pure silk thread.
