AK MC blue linen Prince of Wales Barchetta Signature Jacket

For centuries, linen has been the cloth of choice of refined gentlemen for the warmer periods of the year. The fact that it creases naturally is part of its special charm and gives it a touch of non-chalant “sprezzatura” beloved by true sartorial connoisseurs. This particular high-end Italian linen has been woven in a distinctive Prince of Wales pattern to create a luxurious warm-weather sports jacket.

The bespoke tailoring – inspired, Signature cut of Alexander Kraft Monte Carlo boasts a medium width notch lapel, Southern Italian Barchetta-shaped patch pockets (inspired by Neapolitan bespoke tailoring) and side vents. The Savile Row – inspired silhouette combines a strikingly elegant appearance with maximum comfort thanks to high armholes, roped shoulders, a delicately shaped chest and a nipped-in waist. Other bespoke touches include real horn buttons, working cuffs and a flower loop (a silk thread attached on the underside of the lapel to accommodate a boutonniere). The jacket features a half-canvas construction with a partial lining for a perfect combination of artisanship, lightness and comfort.

Wear this fine piece of a tailoring as an elegant change-of-pace to your plain navy blazer. Wear with cream linen trousers and a denim shirt for a brunch date or dress down with blue jeans and a white shirt for weekend relaxing.
