The John Simons overcoat is based upon a vintage coat 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 the finest navy coloured Heavy Italian Corduroy fabric, this overcoat is warm, refined and extremely comfortable to wear.
