The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

[BenniWue]

I’m in the opposite spot, looking for 34 pants.

Not sure where you are but there’s one for sale here.

Thank you, saw it also there but with shipping and taxes (to Europe) about 900€, a bit too much bought the pants in 40 at archives sale.

Evening everyone!

Another new member with a sizing question would like to order Drake‘s navy herringbone games blazer in size 42 (only size left), don‘t have a lot for comparison, the OCBD size 17 fits me perfect. I‘m 188cm tall and 110cm chest. Thanks and a nice evening

I take my Games blazers in 42 and I take my OCBDs in 16...
I recommend 44 instead.

Tweed blazer and corduroy down vest today.

If you’re in Europe the Nordstrom-prices are DDP, so 640 Euro is what you pay. I have been hunting for the exact same jacket for over a year and haven’t seen it cheaper yet. Archive sale was 655 plus shipping and Goods and C&C don’t land much below that.

Feels unreasonable, but 650.- seems to be the going sale rate for cotton games blazers in Europe in 2024 — they still sold them out at the archive sale …

Don‘t know if i‘m doing something wrong, but at the Nordstrom checkout it says 898€, Goods had/has a Sale right now but only 42 and 36 left.

Oh no, this may be a lesser sale then. Got that jacket shipped DDP to Germany in November for 670.-

What size is the vest? Worth the price tag?

What size is the vest? Worth the price tag?

This is a difficult question ! I think that given the prices being charged, Drake's is a little out of the "worth the price" equation. I think the subject is above all the style and the pleasure of wearing the garment... It is undoubtedly my favorite purchase of the winter. I find the product very well manufactured and finished. It is very comfortable, over a chunky knit or a jacket. The heat is enveloping. You just have to be aware that it is a room with quite a lot of volume. There is a "street" feel but the beauty of the corduroy and the quality of manufacturing pull the piece towards something more dressy. I took size 42, my usual size for a jacket.

(and sorry again for my bad English, I use automatic translate)

Nice fit, I’m similar sizes, what size vest did you go for, I went for 44.

I was able to have them price adjust to 450 during some absurd short lived site-wide sale. Don’t hate me

As part of my crusade to bring ties back (and subsequently be one of the only people willing to sport a tie on the weekend in the Tri-State area), I took this secondhand paisley number out for a spin and love it.

It looks like the Winter 2022 mid-brown prince of Wales check blazer (see e.g. this lookbook), but the buttons differ. The Fair Isle V-neck sleevelees jumper underneath is also from 2022.

I’m not sure this is a Drake’s jacket, at least an off the peg one. It’s got a patch pocket on the breast and appears to be missing the ‘trademark’ ticket pocket on the right hand side. Compare and contrast with the jacket that Wim posted above.
