INCREDIBLE POCKETS THROUGHOUT

... and all handcut besom, welt and inside chest pockets which required between 20-30 minutes to expertly constuct each one fully-self lined in the expensive pure Italian Varese linen fabric instead of skimping and using cheaper pocket lining materials like other luxury brands do. This long-time value approach to maximum comfort and durability costs more as it uses more of the precious fabric but results in incredibly comfort when you put your hands in the pockets of this jacket...

ALTERATIONS CAPABILITY BUILT-IN: DESIGNED FOR A LIFETIME OF WEAR...

Inside, all major fitting seams are given generous 2,5 cm seam allowances to allow for ample alterations capability.

JUST PUTTING ON YOUR COAT AND BUTTONING IT SHOULD BE A JOY TO EXPERIENCE..

So, we spent more than 10 times more on our buttons and threads, and the work that's required to apply them onto this jacket than any other luxury brand... It’s all part of our art and the phenomenal value of our clothing pieces. This amazing GBS superjacket comes with exceptional new advanced artisanal "gommatizzato" finely rubberized finish real horn button designs created only for us by the world’s greatest living buttonmakers--Claudio and Cinzia Fontana in Parma Italy--and no less than 10 of our signature real hand-stitched buttonholes (that required at least 10-12 minutes to create each one—over 2 hours of painstaking master work just to make the buttonholes for the single jacket) in luxurious pure silk Bozzolo Reale Milano Seta threads, which cost over 1.40 euros for a single meter of thread. Each button costs us on average over 5 euros wholesale, about 10 times more than the average luxury or designer label button, and is completely sewn on by hand using only sustainable pure cotton (no polyester, no plastics) high density Italian Tre Stelle brand threads for extra strength and the smooth, secure opening and closing that you only experience when you put on a GBS...

ZERO PLASTICS ANYWHERE-

EVEN THE LABEL IS WORTH MORE THAN ALL OTHERS...

The label itself is pure Italian silk and costs a minor fortune relative to our competitors... woven in Torreglia by Mion, the best label makers in the world- it's the first label in the luxury industry without a single molecule of plastic in it. And that includes the entire garment--all natural biodegradable premium precious materials and components--zero plastics anywhere. That's real sustainability, not greenwashing corporate luxury brand bs. And you won't get that scratchy itchy feeling on your skin from the poly and plastic labels they use. It's also just plain beautiful, and because it's pure silk, it lends itself to be made even more beautiful in our amazing GBS "Tintoria" hand dye operations at Cavarzere Venezia, where we custom-designed and personalized if for this single special jacket design--and beautifully attached it using pure silk threads all by hand...
