"Travelling, exploring unbeaten trails in search of the best raw materials. Piacenza 1733 has turned travelling into a lifestyle and it was indeed travelling from which FIRST CLASS; a new generation of fabrics for all types of travel, took its inspiration. Travelling towards distant countries, travelling in cities for the next business meeting. FIRST CLASS is the ideal travel companion, just as was ALBATROSS, the hot air balloon with which Guido Piacenza took to the skies at the start of the 1900s. A revolutionary men’s suiting which has its roots in deepest tradition, First Class Albatross is a new generation of open-weave fabrics whose interweaving of high-twist yarns gives life to an airy, breathable fabric which is both compact and crease resistant. The finishing process is unique, as it raises the fibres of the wool and makes them softer and more elastic, and therefore more resistant and of extraordinary comfort and performance than ever seen before in this category of product. A perfectly unique collection for all year round which presents luxurious fabrics with an innovative treatment using sustainable nanotechnology to guarantee water-proofing while still protecting the environment. First Class Albatross: the perfect travel suit for all year round."
