NICO II – Hove Tortoise

NICO II – Hove Tortoise

The NICO II - Contemporary Classic. Bold but understated. Affirming the design language of The Originals Collection.

Delicate acetate carves the silhouette which is then given weight by the thick temples. The II is of a tall and narrow disposition, the sharp lines are balanced by the soft curvaceous brow. Inspired by the traditional Wayfarer shape, The II has a more robust stance with heavier temples and a minimal modern finish. Crafted in Veneto Northern Italy, the manufacturer nestles in the foothills of the Dolomites. Manifested in BIO acetate. Always produced in limited amounts.

    THE MODERNIST OVERCOAT

    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.
