GB0221/BK07 : Double riders (“Squares Vs Rat”)

Banksy, a masked artist who causes news and pros and cons around the world every time he releases his work. Double riders (“Squares Vs Rat”) released by glamb in collaboration with BRANDALISED, which manages and photographs his work.

Banksy's work "Squares Vs Rat" is boldly decorated on the lining of lamb leather riders, which is a representative item of glamb, making it an exclusive item. The expression of the leather with a strong embossed texture is due to the use of luxurious materials that use 1.5 times more leather than glamb's general riders. The body is sewn 1.5 times larger than the product size, and the leather is shrunk by running it through boiling water, and the craftsman reshapes it with an iron by hand. The sizing is a regular silhouette with a longer length. Although it looks tough, the brand is also particular about tailoring that has action pleats on the shoulders and ribs on the underarms for comfortable movement. This work has Banksy's workability and glamb's clothing making engraved on the front and back. The styling that you can see the lining with a rough shoulder is a luxurious pleasure unique to this work.
