Founded in Godalming, Surrey in 1907, Alan Paine create classic knitwear for the discerning gentleman.
A classic layering piece, perfect for the Autumn/Winter months, this exquisite saddle shoulder crew neck is a lighter alternative to a traditional Shetland wool jumper. We recommend wearing over a John Simons Ivy League button down shirt and under a John Simons Ivy Jacket for a classic collegiate look.
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.
