The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

Yikes.. shipping costs $25 + tax on top..

That's to give you the the warm feeling of exclusivity.

Tempted by the white linen Cuban shirt in the archive sale. Can anyone attest to whether it’s sheer? (To be clear, I am hoping it is not).

If you need a friendly push; that shirt looks really sharp!

Interesting tangent on Birdwell, it was bought by #19 at Facebook, Matt, who has a keen eye for surfboards, watches & architecture. One of the few people I've seen who did really well out of SV and has taste. https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/video-talking-watches-with-matt-jacobson

Ah I remember that episode, but didn't realize the Birdwell connection. Miss the old Hodinkee pods.

For the shetland sweater vests, anyone know what the sizing conversion is? I think these are made by Jamieson's, which uses chest sizes, so wondering about the conversion Drakes uses. Is it Drakes M = Jamieson's 40?

The grey cotton jogger shorts have been reduced to £88 - what a steal! I'm buying a pair for every day of the week.

Does anyone own the Wayford Plain toe derby and can comment on the sizing compared to the crosby Chukka? Thanks!

I've been eyeing a pair of these for a while, do you currently own them? They're at $137 right now, really debating whether it's worth it.

Do they usually lower prices towards the end of the archive sales or is this it?

They did lower prices in one about 18 months ago, I recall — but none since then.

Can anyone confirm if the size chart measurements are correct? Does it fit slim/relaxed or something else I should consider? Is it the same fabric as the hoodies or lighter?

How many times a year can we expect an archives sale from Drake’s? Twice? When will be the next one exactly?

 

[Phillip Dean]

I’ve found that sleeve length (and overall fit) can vary wildly between chore coats.

Does anyone have experience with the Casentino chore, and could offer an opinion on whether its measurements are as the size chart describes?

In particular, whether its sleeves are longer in practice (something true of the linen chore and the indigo denim).

They seem to be twice a year. One in winter (Jan/Feb) and one in summer (Jul/Aug).
