Women's Mandarin Collar 7 Button Waistcoat in La Colombina Cotton

Geoffrey B. Small mandarin collar 7 button waistcoat in La Colombina cotton.

One of only three pieces of its kind, of which two pieces were hand made exclusively for Blue Mountain School.

Created from Small's extensive tailoring research, cut in a completely handwoven pure cotton fabric created exclusively for Small by Tessitura La Colombina in Badoere di Morgano on an 18th-century wooden handloom, combined with E. Ghiringhelli jacquard pure viscose lining along with pure stripe viscose lining woven exclusively for Small by Tessitura Mauri in Como.

Features hand cut besom welt pockets, horn buttons made exclusively for Small by Claudio and Cinzia Fontana in Parma, and hand stitched buttonholes in pure silk Bozzolo Reale Milano Seta thread, each one requiring at least 8-10 minutes to cut and sew.

Each piece is individually dyed by hand in Small's workrooms using a process that requires over eight hours to achieve its unique colour and patina.

Hand signed and numbered by the designer.
