John Simons

Navy Beach Boy Stripe Popover Ivy Shirt

Navy Beach Boy Stripe Popover Ivy Shirt

Fans of the John Simons look will already be familiar with our Ivy League Popover shirts, which draw on many of John's favourite details from the golden era of Ivy style. This short sleeve iteration takes inspiration from the Beach Boys' iconic early-1960s look, blending classic Ivy League styling with the relaxed spirit of the California coast.

The popover has a long-standing place within Ivy League menswear, evolving from Brooks Brothers' original pullover button-down shirt of 1896 before becoming a staple of American campuses throughout the 1950s and 1960s. Our version stays true to that heritage with a traditional three-button popover placket and generous unlined collar, creating the soft collar roll that defines an authentic Ivy shirt.

Cut from crisp cotton poplin, the lightweight cloth is breathable and ideal for warmer weather, while the short sleeve design makes it a natural choice for summer. Finished in a classic navy stripe and made in England, it's an easy-wearing seasonal staple with unmistakable Ivy character.
