From the brand: A direct descendent of the 1950s and 60s Ivy League popovers, our long sleeve Patchwork Popover Madras Shirt features a classic 3-button popover placket, a softly rolling button down collar, and the exclusive Ivy the Elephant label. Crafted from authentic Indian Madras, this piece is the perfect bridge between casual ease and Ivy sophistication.
The popover has an undoubted pedigree within Ivy League style; the direct descendent of the longer placket pullover, which was in fact Brooks Brothers first form of button down all the way back in 1896. The shorter placket popover was a staple of the Ivy League Look throughout the 1950s and 60s. Whilst placket lengths did vary, the archetypal model featured a short 3 button placket, which is exactly what we have utilised here at John Simons.
