John Simons

Olive Linen Ivy Jacket

Olive Linen 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.

A single vent at the back provides ease of movement and a touch of elegance, ensuring you never feel constrained. Inside, the buggy lining adds a layer of durability and comfort, making it as practical as it is stylish. Whether you're pairing it with the John Simons trousers, chinos or jeans, this jacket is the epitome of understated Ivy Style. Once you wear it, you might start to wonder how you ever managed without it. 

This particular model is constructed from a wonderfully light yet robust olive linen, produced by British mill, Brisbane Moss. Linen is not only the most environmentally friendly fabric one can produce a garment in, but also neatly compliments the jacket’s soft construction, and is a delight to wear during the Spring/Summer months. 

In addition, the jacket features:

  • A three-button front with soft roll to the top button
  • Slim lapels
  • Three patch pockets
  • Two-button cuff
  • Centre vent
  • 100% British linen 

Available as separates or a suit. Natural shoulder spoken here!
