This super limited edition EV9J08 handmade relaxed living jacket design is one of only 2 pieces of its kind currently being made by hand in the entire world. It was created from our our modified midlength kimono jacket pattern and cut using a very rare, completely handwoven Italian pure Cariaggi cashmere and deluxe linen and cotton yarn textured weave complex abstract plaid check fabric created exclusively for us on the 18th century wooden hand looms of Tessitura La Colombina in Badoere di Morgano, Italy requiring almost 2 full days to create just enough cloth to make the single jacket--combined with pure cupro Bemberg-type striped weave sleeve linings made for us by Ezio Ghiringhelli, then specially hand dyed in our world famous GBS Superworkrooms at Cavarzere Venezia using a process that required over 8 hours of expert work to achieve its unique colors, patina effects, shaping and softness. The piece also features wrapped-belt single or double-breasted versatility styling, beautiful finished interior french-seam finishing, clean tailored in-seam pockets, amazing yellow gold real horn buttons made only for us by the world's greatest living buttonmakers-- Claudio and Cinzia Fontana in Parma Italy; and our signature hand sewn buttonholes in luxurious pure silk Bozzolo Milano Seta Reale threads (which required at least 12-18 minutes to create each one on the challenging handwoven fabric). 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- beautifully attached completely by hand with pure silk threads. The special design can be worn in a variety of different ways.
