Inspired by the great John Bedingfield, a founding member of the Ivy and Squire shop and integral part of the John Simons legacy, we are proud to introduce Mr. Squire!
Mr. Squire is now available for purchase as a collectable print to adorn your wall. Limited to fifty. Each print has been manufactured utilising environmentally friendly Risograph techniques by the reputable Hato Press, whilst the artwork has been produced by up-and-coming Korean artist, Seowon Kim.
The John Simons Overcoat is based upon a vintage Burberry model famously purchased and worn by our very own proprietor in 1961, whilst working as a window dresser for Cecil Gee on Charing Cross Road. With a seamless one piece raglan sleeve, which flatters all shapes and sizes, our overcoat is the perfect combination of functionality and elegance.
This particular model is produced in a beautiful Harris Tweed fabric. This overcoat is reminiscent of early 1950s American outerwear, in the period that predates the Ivy League Boom years of the latter 1950s and 60s. A veritable slice of Mid Century Americana, produced with fabric from one of the oldest British Mills and delivered direct from Chiltern Street.
