Collection: Sebago

Sebago are a brand with a history that is intrinsic to Ivy League style. Originally inspired by Native American moccasins, Sebago were founded in Michigan USA in 1946, and are best known for pioneering the beef roll style of loafer. Much like the Bass Weejun penny loafer, the beef roll loafer has endeared itself to aficionados of the Ivy League Look since the 1950’s, and Sebago continues to be a cornerstone brand at John Simons to this very day.

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.
