A versatile item, which can be worn as a layering piece, or as outerwear due to its rugged warmth, the John Simons Shawl Neck Cardigan is hand linked and knitted in Scotland. This cardigan is crafted from a 90% Wool and 10% Cashmere blend and offers a super-soft finish that ensures both comfort and warmth during the cooler months. The hand linking process, which involves carefully joining each piece of the sweater by hand, results in a seamless finish that enhances durability and comfort while allowing for greater flexibility and shape retention. The pockets and buttons are all sewn on by hand ensuring the highest standard of durability and finish.

PARABOOT

Here at John Simons we are proud to stock Paraboot, an iconic French brand with whom we have worked with since 1984, making us the oldest stockist in the UK.

Founded by Remy Richard in the Alpine French town of Izeaux in the early 20th Century, the Paraboot brand as we know it today was born from one of Richard’s earliest visits to the USA. In 1926, Richard arrived in the USA during a boom in the rubber industry and was confronted with a new style of work boot with heavy rubber soles. This style of footwear differed greatly from the refined leather-soled shoes Richard had produced previously and served as the impetus for a new style of footwear.

In 1927, Richard founded Paraboot, a brand with a distinct focus on rubber-soled footwear, appropriate for heavy labour. The brand’s name was a combination of the words “Para”, the town in Amazonia from whence the rubber came, and “Boot”, a nod to the American-style of footwear Richard had encountered on his travels.
