We are thrilled to collaborate with F.O.B. on these new navy needlecord 5-pockets, exclusive to John Simons and featuring a jacron label. The John Simons x F.O.B. Factory cords are cut to a slim, mid 1960s silhouette. They feature a generous mid-rise, higher back rise, allowing you to tuck your favourite button down or t-shirt, and with a gentle taper to the hem which fits alongside everything from penny loafers, to sneakers, or indeed even a pair of Paraboot Michaels.   

We have worked closely with the brand to ensure that these trousers are likely to the be the closest product available in both style and fabric to the white label Levi’s of the 1960s. This style of non-denim 5 pocket pants, with a tapered cut, often worn high water, were extremely popular in the mid to late 1960s and formed an essential cornerstone of what many refer to as the West Coast Ivy Look. This was a style synonymous with surfers and popularised by groups such as the Beach Boys.
