John Simons

Navy Needlecord Ivy Jacket

Navy Needlecord Ivy Jacket

John Simons first purchased a traditional American Sack Jacket in 1958, whilst working at Cecil Gee on Charing Cross Road. He recalls the purchase fondly, citing the transaction as more than a simple fashion statement, rather, it provided a magic route to the Bebop revolution, which was far cheaper than the cost of a plane ticket.

The ‘Made in England’ Ivy Jacket is our interpretation of this mid century menswear icon. Tailored with a natural shoulder, it offers a relaxed, clean silhouette that retains a sharp, unstructured look. The 3-button roll to 2 feature adds a versatile, timeless appeal, giving you the option of a more formal or casually refined appearance depending on your mood.

This particular jacket is constructed from a stylish olive corduroy produced by historic mill Brisbane Moss; a fabric which is sure to develop a beautiful patina overtime, and which recalls the more Bohemian Ivy dressers of the 1960s. John fondly recalls the prominence of corduroy amongst the Ivy-obsessed artists, architects and musicians of New York’s East Village throughout the 1960s.

In addition, the jacket features:

  • A three-button front with soft roll to the top button
  • Finest cotton corduroy
  • Slim lapels
  • Three patch pockets
  • Two-button cuff
  • Centre vent
