John Simons first purchased a traditional American Sack Jacket in 1958, whilst working at Cecil Gee on Charing Cross Road. He recalls the purchase fondly, citing the transaction as more than a simple fashion statement, rather, it provided a magic route to the Bebop revolution, which was far cheaper than the cost of a plane ticket.
The ‘Made in England’ Ivy Jacket is our interpretation of this mid century menswear icon. Tailored with a natural shoulder, it offers a relaxed, clean silhouette that retains a sharp, unstructured look. The 3-button roll to 2 feature adds a versatile, timeless appeal, giving you the option of a more formal or casually refined appearance depending on your mood.
