AK MC Navy Cashmere PPJ

The expanding AK MC “PPJ” (private plane jacket) assortment has permeated the elite denizens of dégagé elegance, embodying a renewed enthusiasm to dress “softly”—an approach lauded by the vanguard of unstructured tailoring, the Duke of Windsor.

Aptly considered the flagship product of the “Casual Elegance” line of Alexander Kraft Monte Carlo, we have sought to readdress our modus vivendi that echoes Coco Chanel’s famous sentiment that “simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance.”

The new navy pure cashmere “PPJ” is based on the wool Loro Piana rendition and cut on a sporty two-button model with two barchetta patch pockets, side vents and a notch lapel. It is completely unstructured, without any chest canvas or shoulder padding, and unlined, thereby offering the comfort and ease-of-wear of a cardigan.

Like all AK MC garments—even if they are tremendously informal sartorial renditions—they will engender bespoke-like details; thus, this “PPJ” is cut with high armholes and a nuanced silhouette that achieves sweater-like comfort while displaying a low-key chicness. Due to its soft construction and cloth, the PPJ is a befitting garb for long-haul excursions, whether it be on Frank Sinatra’s Learjet 23 private jet, the Glacier Express or at the wheel of one of your beloved classic automobiles; it’s undeniably comfortable, and its charming appearance will never fray in the wind.
