AK MC Grey Super 130s wool Signature Jacket

This beguiling grey, ‘Tortora’ (Italian) hued jacket is handcrafted from a Super 130s wool – a cloth not only lauded for its natural finesse but also inherently lightweight, which gives it a comfortable yet refined handle to be worn all year round with real distinction.

The bespoke-inspired Signature cut of AK MC is single-breasted one-button closure and distinguished by its refined medium-width notch lapel, roped shoulders, and three hacking pockets, the latter of which not only gives it an extra guise of tailored formality but also protects accoutrements without contorting the body.

As is customary with AK MC, it includes real horn buttons, working cuffs, and silk thread attached to the underside of the lapel, which features a delicate buttonhole – a detail that secures a charming boutonnière when the right occasion arises.

High-end unstructured suits, popularised in part by Giorgio Armani, who passed away last week, provide a timely moment to express the perks of life with freedom of movement. This jacket, which can be worn with a matching waistcoat and pants, has a half-canvas and half-lining construction that eliminates any rigidity—a highly desirable attribute when engaging in frequent travel for a variety of engagements, such as beginning a breakfast meeting at the Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo. After lunch at Margaux’s in Paris, attending more meetings in L’Defence and stopping for a glass of Barolo wine at Café de Flore would allow you a few hours of shopping before ending the evening by relaxing and smoking an AK MC Reserve EGM next to the pool in the countryside of Provence.
