After the Drake's assistant's reaction about how fast things sold I am sure they will be getting new stuff in a.s.a.p. I am not in a position to make any promises though.

Drakes - new delivery of stock due today, but he was not sure when it will arrive or if they will be stocking today. He could not comment on shirts and pocket squares.

Good detective work.

quick points:

• queue too long if you arrived around opening time

• the best thing was the fauna in the queue (ebay fiends, fashion victims -how many leopard thick glasses can this world handle. then there was the gent with the sharp suit, huge wrist watch and "native american beads" around the wrist (whatever those stringy bracelets are called), black city shoe wearing slaves to the system (yes they are fashion victims too)

• when i got in (i am guessing I was in the 20-30 range) , i could only see £295s and mostly £395s so even if there were a couple of 80%s around , using that in the announcement was not good form. For the last couple of years I have been buying at £400 at my own leisure with a room just for myself in the Northampton factory whenever if feel like dropping by -so not impressed. Even in Jermyn street you get £450s during sales

• since i have big feet 11/11.5 (UK/US) i am guessing from the looks of the crowd ahead of me that I did not loose much to those first 20 or so. Bought three pairs , the best deal being a £295 Whisky Cordovan Oundle with a tiny defect. When I got home noticed I had bought  something close to a repeat so may put it up for sale in  B&S
