AN EXTREME HAND MADE TECHNOLOGY DESIGN

AUTHENTIC HAND PADSTITCHED CANVAS FRONT 4-PIECE SUPERSUIT IN HAND DYED FRATELLI PIACENZA 1733 SUPER 210’S “ARCADIA” 13-MICRON PURE WOOL HYPERLUX SUITING CLOTH WITH PURE COMO SILK LININGS, SILK HAND STITCH BUTTONHOLES & FONTANA REAL HORN BUTTON DESIGNS

THIS special version of the extreme limited edition EVJ01 handmade 4-piece supersuit design is the only one of its kind made in the entire world. It was created exclusively by hand from a phenomenal hyperlux ultrasoft Super 210’s “Arcadia” 13-micron pure wool suiting cloth woven by the oldest woolen mill in the world and the world’s most respected cashmere and fine wool fabric maker- Fratelli Piacenza 1733 Spa in Pollone Biella, Italy- and combined with an exquisite pure silk 16 momme raso satin floral and abstract design combination print lining story made only for us by the legendary Brenna family in Como, Italy--the world's leading center for fine silk fabric creation-- and then specially mutliple hand-dyed in our world-famous GBS Superworkrooms at Cavarzere Venezia using a series of processes that required over 29 hours of master work to achieve its special colors, patina effects, shaping, and incredible softness and drape. The special jacket, waistcoat, scarf and trouser design represents the world’s cutting edge of extreme handmade clothes-making technology and features very special old-fashioned canvas horsehair front and collar interfacings totally hand-padstitched with over 1000 invisible hand stitches inside to give it its remarkable natural roll line along lapels and collar, real working buttonhole surgeon’s sleeve cuffs, hand-cut besom, flap and welt pockets inside and out, generous 2,5 centimeter seam allowances on major fitting seams that allow the piece to be altered and let out a full size larger than its original cut, a remarkable composition story of real horn button designs made exclusively for us by the world’s greatest living buttonmakers- Claudio and Cinzia Fontana in Parma, Italy, and no less than 24 of our signature hand-stitched buttonholes in pure silk Bozzolo Reale Milano Seta threads (which required at least 12-15 minutes to create each one on the challenging handwoven fabric). A full day of expert work was needed for the creation of the buttonholes alone. The pieces also features our world leading hand dyed pure silk label created exclusively for us by Mion SpA in Torreglia- the first label in the luxury industry to completely eliminate plastic polyester yarns in it--beautifully attached by all hand using pure silk threads and handsigned and numbered by the designer.

The EVJ01 supersuit is comprised of four extraordinary pieces created using our classic single-breasted 3-button notch lapel jacket, 6-button single-breasted waiscoat and trapezoid scarf set, and fully-lined straight-leg suspender trouser patterns from our extensive tailoring research and cut entirely by hand using a phenomenal hyperlux ultrasoft Super 210’s “Arcadia” 13-micron pure wool 215 gram per meter suiting cloth woven by the oldest woolen mill in the world and the world’s most respected cashmere and fine wool fabric maker- Fratelli Piacenza 1733 Spa in Pollone Biella, Italy...

...and combined with an exquisite pure silk 16 momme raso satin floral and abstract design combination print lining story for the jacket, waistcoat and scarf made only for us by the legendary Brenna family in Como, Italy--the world's leading center for fine silk fabric creation--along with a pure cupro deluxe Bemberg-type striped yarn-dyed weave luxury linings for the trouser for maximum lightness, comfort and long-term wear (trousers normally wear out before jackets and vests during the lifetime of a suit particulary in the seat due to wallet use of the pockets and general wear and tear movment--the correct linings can help prolong the trouser's life by protecting the seat and wearing our first before the exterior cloth and can then be replaced with a new lining to further protect the trouser for more time). Each of the pieces were then specially mutliple hand-dyed in our world-famous GBS Superworkrooms at Cavarzere Venezia using a series of processes that required over 29 hours of master work to achieve their special colors, patina effects, shaping, and incredible softness and drape...

The special jacket, waistcoat, scarf and trouser design represents the world’s cutting edge of extreme handmade clothes-making technology and features very special old-fashioned canvas horsehair front and collar interfacings totally hand-padstitched with over 1000 invisible hand stitches inside to give it its remarkable natural roll line along lapels and collar...

REAL HANDMADE WORKING BUTTONHOLE SURGEON’S CUFFS

—a long running “code” symbol of jackets and coats made only for elite wardrobes… due to the rare and extreme sartorial skill sets and precision required to create them (there are very few tailors or brands left in the world who have the skill levels and know how to execute them, and their work is expensive)—come standard on this BGC09 with an impressive 4-button array impeccably executed in a classic Napolitano-style"kissing buttons" arrangement allowing you to unbutton and roll up your sleeves for work, play or just quietly showing off a little.

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE POCKETS:

Put your hands in any one of the no less than 11 all hand-built pockets of this GBS supersuit and you’ll feel the difference immediately. The all hand cut tailored front besom flap and welt pockets and interior besom pockets required between 20 -30 minutes to expertly constuct each one, and are all fully self-lined in the extremely expensive pure hyperlux Super 210's "Arcadia 13-micron wool suiting fabric instead of skimping and using cheaper pocket lining materials like other luxury brands do. This long-time value approach to maximum comfort costs more as it uses more of the precious fabric but results in incredibly soft comfort for you when you put your hands in the pockets of this suit. It can actually help reduce your stress and is part of the wonderful feel and experience of wearing the suit...

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

Inside the jacket, waistcoat and trouser... all major fitting seams are given generous 2,5 cm seam allowances to allow for ample alterations capability. This approach also requires more upfront fabric investment and costs but can greatly extend the usable life and service of the suit to adapt to its owner's changing body shape and dimensions over his or her lifetime--a key factor in understanding its long-term value for money spent and its low net costs per wear over time. The suit also features impeccable finishing throughout including a beautifully executed center-back vent construction on both the jacket and waistcoat for elegance and ease of movement and extraordinary interior trouser work including the real hand sewn Italian jaquard weave taped hemlines (not machined) that required over 2 hours of expert work to achieve their beautiful clean finish and superior durability and tailored elegance...

The special handmade trousers also feature a classic darted front design with impeccable handbuilt hidden-button fly front construction, handcut rear besom flap pockets, beautifully clean-finished fully-lined interior with Italian satin taped seam construction, real hand cut vintage recycle garment leather suspenders using special silk, cotton and wool trim tapes woven specially for us by the reknowned Nastrificio Victor mills in Piove di Sacco Padova...

"WE SPEND MORE ON OUR BUTTONS THAN MOST

LUXURY BRANDS SPEND ON THEIR MAIN FABRICS--

IT'S A PART OF OUR ART..."

This GBS supersuit is no exception. It comes with an exceptional array of real horn button design compositions on each piece that take suit design and quality to a whole new level...all made onlyfor us by the world’s greatest living buttonmakers- Claudio and Cinzia Fontana in Parma, Italy. Each button costs us on average over 5 euros wholesale, about 10 times more than the average luxury or designer label button...

JUST PUTTING ON YOUR SUIT PIECES AND BUTTONING THEM SHOULD BE A JOY TO EXPERIENCE..

The suit comes with no less than 24 of our signature real hand-stitched buttonholes (that required at least 12-15 minutes to create each one—a full day of painstaking master work just to make the buttonholes for the single suit) in luxurious pure silk Bozzolo Reale Milano Seta threads, which cost over 1.40 euros for a single meter of thread. And each of the 30 buttons deployed for the suit was completely sewn on by hand using our GBS exclusive technique which required an average of 2-3 minutes to attach each button (well over an hour of expert work just to attach the buttons on the single suit) and only sustainable pure cotton (no polyester, no plastics) high density Italian 3 stelle brand threads for extra strength and the smooth, secure opening and closing that you only experience when you put on a GBS...

PLUS, A FUNCTIONAL BUTTON-UP LAPEL AND COLLAR

The EVJ01 offers full weather versatility wearing with functional hidden button and working top lapel buttonhole which can be worn buttoned up for cooler weather or sportier styling when needed...

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 each of the entire garments--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 coat design, and beautifully attached it using pure silk threads all by hand...
