Most leather coats ask to be ignored - dark, defensive, blending into the street. The DEEP GR reverses that instinct entirely. Cut from bovine leather and hand-dyed in a saturated red with natural tonal variation across its surface, this ankle-length coat has the bearing of something ceremonial. The colour is not uniform. Where the dye pools in seams and folds, it deepens toward oxblood. Where the hide stretches across the chest and shoulders, it opens into a brighter arterial tone. This is the signature of hand-dyeing: every panel absorbs pigment at its own pace.
The silhouette is monastic - high stand-up collar, concealed front closure, clean vertical lines from shoulder to hem. Two diagonal zip pockets sit flush against the body, their 925 sterling silver ring pulls the only visible hardware. The wool-blend lining runs through the torso while the sleeves are finished in viscose-silk, creating a smooth draw when layering over knitwear or shirting. Daniele Basta constructs each coat by hand in Empoli, working the leather through roughly ten days of cutting, stitching, dyeing, and finishing before any piece leaves the workshop.
The DEEP GR does not accommodate a wardrobe. It reorganizes one. Every other piece you own becomes a supporting layer for this coat.
