AK MC beige linen & wool provence jacket with alcantara trim

As the summer starts to draw its final breath, we look to update our wardrobes with the colours of the new season. But we are still some time from needing our tweeds and winter flannels, so we look to thoughtfully blended fabrics to see us through the shoulder season. Woven in Italy exclusively for Alexander Kraft Monte Carlo, this sublime cloth combines the coolness of linen, the drape of merino wool and the resilience of cotton to create a textile that is ideal for temperate autumnal days. The subtle herringbone weave adds visual interest with a melange of beige and ecru with a slightly cool, greyish tone.

Cut on our updated Provence house model it boasts a medium width notch lapel with a grown-on storm-tab, side vents, pleated-patch-and-flap side pockets as well as a half-belt detail at the back in the style of classic 1930s resort tailoring. The jacket sleeves have classic elbow patches realised in Alcantara which is thoughtfully matched on the underside of the collar. Alcantara is a premium man-made textile that is used to upholster many luxury automobiles as it has the softness and lustre of suede but the advantage of not requiring specialist care. The jacket has been only partially lined for maximum comfort by allowing the cotton to breath.

The silhouette has been informed by the bespoke tradition and has a close fitting, lightly shaped chest and a nipped-in waist. Other bespoke touches include the real horn branded buttons, working sleeve cuffs and the silk thread attached on the underside of the lapel to accommodate your boutonniere.

The jacket has been thoughtfully designed to complement a wide-range of trousers from ecru cotton Gurkhas, denim jeans or grey flannels.
