The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread
Wondered over to the sample sale after work as I live not too far away. Got there around 4:30pm. Were more employees than customers, though it was picking up as I was leaving. So, so many fleeces, seemed like close to 1/5th of all rack space. All boucle, no casentino. Only a handful of chore...- CaptainApathy

Ratio Clothing - Custom Shirts - Official Affiliate Thread
I never purchased their made in USA shirts because of the quality. I paid the premium because I wanted to support an American firm, with American workers, made in a factory that I was fairly confident was treating its workers fairly. It's not like sewing is a precision-manufacturing industry...- CaptainApathy

Ratio Clothing - Custom Shirts - Official Affiliate Thread
Sorry, not sure, I haven't ordered from them since pre-pandemic, when they were using the Garland factory. If you're looking for a higher quality fabric, they have some Thomas Mason oxfords under their "Legacy" collection. Based on prior experience the TM fabric is nice, but it definitely...- CaptainApathy

Ratio Clothing - Custom Shirts - Official Affiliate Thread
Ratio used to have all their shirts made in Garland, North Carolina, in a factory that was owned and operated by Brooks Brothers. That factory did some contract work for other companies, though my understanding was that the bulk of their production was for Brook's own OCBD's. The Garland factory...- CaptainApathy

Viberg Boots - Reviews, appreciation, news - share yours
I was looking at a pair of service boots in Loden Janus Calf Suede and see quite a lot of variation in terms of color. I'm wondering if it's the photography or the leather itself. My understanding is that loden is typically a green/brown mix. Here's an image taken from Viberg's own site...- CaptainApathy

Viberg Boots - Reviews, appreciation, news - share yours
Stopped by the sale earlier today. For those who may be considering going tomorrow -- inventory was better than expected, as long as you're looking for boots. In size 9's there were two pairs of slippers (one brown, one black), three pairs of bluchers, zero sneakers, and maybe 50-60 pairs of...- CaptainApathy

But the strong dollar means they could lower their US prices, convert back to pounds, and still come out the same. Drake's pricing really has gotten out of hand. $450 for jeans, over $700 for basic chore coats, their oxford shirts are up to $275 (as an aside a few months ago I inquired here...- CaptainApathy

The Official Alden Thread for 2022 - Share Reviews, Sizing, Advice, and Photos.
I wear the same size in both, but it depends on how you plan to wear them. I'll wear Van loafers with thin socks, whereas with Barrie I'll typically wear with thicker socks. With the same pair of socks the Van will be noticeably more snug. If it's helpful, here's a 9D Barrie directly next to a...- CaptainApathy

Does Drake's have a MTM program? A web search indicates there may have been the occasional MTM offering at trunk shows long past, but there's nothing on their web site to suggest it's available today (or if there is, it's well hidden).- CaptainApathy
