Collection: The Ivy Shirt

Meet the Ivy Shirt! A must have item for your midcentury modern wardrobe, incorporating John’s favourite Ivy League details from the 1950s/1960s.

Utilising the very same luxuriously soft Oxford cotton and collar shape as our recent “Zero” button down, along with the introduction of a back collar button. When fully fastened, the long collar points cascade beautifully, recalling what John describes as “The Ivy League Spearpoint collar”, a feature which would often be found on shirting from the “Jivy Ivy” period in the latter half of the 1960s. When worn open the collar rolls beautifully, a feat which has been achieved by utilising a generous 3.5″ collar point and omitting any lining from the collar and placket.

70TH YEAR ANNIVERSARY POSTER

The John Simons 70th year anniversary poster celebrates the shop's history using graphic elements from our previous stores and bold Modernist inspired colours. 

The design reflects John Simons commitment to mid-century art, music, style and the best of modern menswear.
