In its sandblasted, silver-banded "Sailing" series form, the Brebbia "1005" straight is, strangely, a much beefier number than the Golden Extras and what have you that we more commonly see it as. Indeed, while the other renditions look the part of an English pipe, this version hews much closer to the Italian school's shaping, with a taller rim, thicker shank, and more robust form to the lower bowl.
