Front, back and side views of this very special supercoat showing the extraordinary knap and depth of the triple pure Alashan cashmere yarn coating cloth - at a whopping 550 grams per linear meter, the most plush and sumptous of its kind in the world one of Piacenza's top masterpieces- at a wholesale cost of almost 400 euro per meter, there is already over one thousand euros in primary fabric cost alone before we even begin to cut and build the piece-- the cloth is further enhanced and rendered even more beautiful and more soft by our own unique and special hand dyeing and hand washing treatments performed excclusively in our world-famous GBS Superworkrooms at Cavarzere Venezia... resulting in a feel of softness and lightness that is nothing short of amazing.

The design features beautifully hand crafted hidden button fly-front construction and real hand-cut besom welt pockets impeccably crafted for maximum comfort, softness and durability using exclusive artisanal handmade clothing techniques than no other luxury brand in the world today can perform.

The phenomenal real horn incision-cut design buttons were made exclusively for us by the world’s greatest living buttonmakers- Claudio and Cinzia Fontana in Parma, Italy. Each button cost an average of over 5 euros wholesale (more than what other luxury brands spend on the entire number of buttons used on their coats) and was entirely hand sewn to the garment using a special GBS technique that requires from 2-5 minutes of expert work for each one to ensure maximum strength and solid security of feel when buttoning and unbuttoning the piece.. even when buttoning or unbuttoning the garment, nothing else feels like a GBS...

The supercoat features no less than seven of our signature GBS real hand-stitched buttonholes.

Each one required at least 10-15 minutes to create (over an hour and a half of expert work on the buttonholes alone) - all in luxurious pure silk Bozzolo Reale Milano Seta threads that currently cost us at wholesale over one and a half euros for a single meter of thread.

The design also features elegant cuff tabs with beautiful hand-stitched detailing work and handsewn buttonholes executed in pure Bozzolo Milano Reale silk threads...

...and a functional lapel buttonhole and hidden handsewn lapel button allowing the collar to be fully buttoned up when desired for colder weather or sportier styling.

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 all by hand using pure silk threads, and comes with a deluxe matching pure silk GBS handmade sustainable triple filtration tailor's respiratory community mask as standard equipment for ongoing Covid-19 pandemic protection wear and health safety
