Collection: John Simons

The John Simons Apparel range represents the culmination of over sixty years in menswear; drawing from our extensive vintage archive and knowledge of mid-century American style, to create new and exciting pieces which cast a fresh light on Ivy League design classics. From Tweed overcoats to Indian Madras button down shirts and tapered cotton chinos, JSA is the definitive line for all aficionados of the Ivy Look.

THE DIZZY HANDWOVEN SHIRT

A must have item for your mid-century modern wardrobe, incorporating John’s favourite Ivy League details from the 1950s/1960s.

Of primary importance to many aficionados of the Ivy League look, is the generous collar roll. 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 omitting any lining from the collar and placket.
