Re: New John Simons 3 Button Jackets
They do look good. Any idea of price?

Re: New John Simons 3 Button Jackets
I was in the shop a couple of weeks back, and John said the jackets would be unlined, even describing them as Keydges. They look great, though Sid may be right about the price. Mind you, Hardy & Johnson are able produce lovely tweed jackets for very good prices, so here's hoping...

Re: New John Simons 3 Button Jackets
no patch pockets for the purists but I do like the lapels and the crucial fact they're unlined, which will make them more supple and alive, do keep us posted

Would be interested to see that shoulder up close - olive green could be a winner, though!

Re: New John Simons 3 Button Jackets
Had a look at these yesterday. They had a small production run and most of the popular sizes have sold out quite quickly. I tried on a 42 and for me the fit was a bit off, but that may be down to my body shape. There's no padding in these jackets to even things out, they are just a slouchy, semi casual item and it would be a matter of getting in to the shop and trying them for yourself. Another batch have been ordered and some adjustments are being made to the cut. The colours John has chosen, the material and overall look of the jackets are great. They are completely unstructured and they are a very similar concept to the now defunct J Keydge jackets which were so popular. They are priced at £360 which is the same as the tweed Keydges were and quite reasonable IMO, considering they are made in England.
