The Astorflex Montflex is a timeless take on the traditional desert boot first worn by British soldiers stationed in Cairo during WWII, produced through entirely sustainable and ecological methods.
Similar in its silhouette to Astorflex’s iconic Greenflex model, the Montflex comes with a less pronounced toe box shape, in turn more closely resembling the classic mid-century Desert boot.
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.
