Hickory Striped Twill 1955 Chore Jacket

Hickory Striped Twill 1955 Chore Jacket

Those who have shopped at John Simons before will understand that workwear has always found a place at no. 46 Chiltern Street. From Vetra, to Paraboot to Levi’s and F.O.B., brands who are able to combine functionality and style are a recurrent trope within the store. This fact is a testament to the very nature of Ivy League Clothing, which in itself is a holistic style that spans the remit from elegant three-piece suits to rugged jeans and sweatshirts.  

This chore jacket embodies this spirit. Its four patch-pocket design offers ample storage for your daily essentials, while the raglan sleeve construction ensures complete freedom of movement. Six robust brass buttons provide a secure fastening, and the beautiful mid-weight hickory striped twill nods to classic 19th and 20th century workwear, where the fabric was prized for its rugged durability and ability to hide stains for industrious railroad workers.

Additionally, the contrast stitch provides an element of intrigue. Equally at home dressed up or down, and with its midweight construction making it the ideal transitional piece between seasons, this is a jacket built for a life well-lived. It is also proudly made in London at our North London makers, a reflection of our unwavering commitment to sustainable, local craftsmanship.
