BRAND HISTORY

"TIMELESS STYLE SINCE 1955"

With a career spanning over six decades, John Simons’ contribution to British menswear remains unparalleled. Beginning his career as a window dresser for the illustrious Cecil Gee in 1955, John soon graduated to trading independently from market stalls across London, before eventually opening The Ivy shop, the first of several stores, in 1964. John Simons is held by those in-the-know as the definitive voice on all matters pertaining to Ivy League style in the U.K.

Since 2011 the John Simons storefront has been situated in the heart of Marylebone at No. 46 Chiltern street. Whilst the commitment to mid-century American style remains, the focus is firmly on the present, a fact which is reflected in a choice selection of products which span the globe: from artisan Japanese denim to premium French workwear.


JOHN SIMONS; THE DESTINATION FOR ALL DISCERNING MODERNISTS.

SUSTAINABILITY ETHOS

Sustainability is a value which is of the utmost importance here at John Simons. We utilise 100% recyclable, multi-use packing materials, for all online orders. Similarly, we opt for 100% recyclable paper bags for all in-store purchases. This principle also extends to our manufacturing process; the majority of our own brand label is produced in London, England, a short drive from our storefront on Chiltern street, which in turn cuts down on fuel emissions.

This close relationship enables us not only to exercise rigorous quality control, but also to ensure safe working conditions and a zero-waste policy is upheld by our partners.
