AK MC Denim Shirt

This new AK MC blue cotton denim shirt is a testament to the accomplished artisans of a family-owned workshop in Italy who have expertly crafted a ubiquitous garment yet reimagined it in the AK MC-designed spirit.

Arriving in a mid- to light-wash, it’s a shade that, if cunningly incorporated with the correct envisioned apparel and accoutrements, can easily traverse the denizens of business and polite society.

Freshmen at Ivy League schools, cowboys, motorcycle hell-raisers, Hollywood stars and bona fide 20th-century jet setters have all thrilled and flourished in denim shirts. As the forefather of denim versatility, Ralph Lauren enriched this virtue as a democratising force, thus widening acceptability of mix-and-matching denim outfits. One of those which have benefitted is the sphere of beau monde tailoring.

Cut with a tall cutaway spread collar, it’s a tailoring detail that perfectly exposes the precision of the neckline and is only enhanced by wearing a hand-crafted jacket and tie. The AK MC cotton Signature jacket assortment springs to mind with the pearl grey angora blend knitted tie.

Not our first foray into denim; if sported with our highly popular Perfect jean, it would exhibit that dégagé elegance that Gianni Agnelli was so idolised for, and it was his double-denim outfits that were only accentuated by his subversive accompaniment additions, with his watch worn on his cuff – a folkloric part of sartorial history. But aside from denim’s affiliation with subdivision, it is well-cut, superior-quality denim. A shirt incorporating those sartorial details will induce you to put it in a prime position in your wardrobe.
