Vintage Tootal Scarf.
Tootal are a canonic figure within the history of British menswear, and a staple within the English look of the 1950s. Tootal scarves have enjoyed a place within John Simon’s many stores throughout the years and are the perfect embodiment of the cross pollination of English, European and American influence.
The story of The Original Playboy shoes began in 1936 when English shoemaker Hutton in Northampton created a completely new shoe with a unique and patented crepe sole construction. The ‘Play-Boy’, as it was originally called. The construction was based on a thick 100% natural crepe sole attached to the upper, a signature piping sewn all around the shoe and an inch-high crepe foxing to complete the shoe.
An iconic, and timeless, classic that has since been worn by royalties, legendary Hollywood actors, jazz musicians, rockabillies, hip-hoppers and a host of other good people around the world.
