takes my breath away

it really does.

i'm in love with this gilet.

just how breathtaking is that embroidery.

it seems to be worked similar to goldwork,

but i'm quite sure that these threads are not coiled

as usually in goldwork.

anyways, it's beautiful, and i love that

the embroidery is the same color

as the woolen base...

it is just a beautiful relief worked in textile.

(it was also tagged paul smith,

but i have no idea whatsoever

whether this could be a paul smith or not.)
