    The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

    Thank you! Does anyone remember how they were styled, and in which lookbook etc.?

    The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

    Question for the real Drake's-heads out there: has Drake's ever done proper boots higher than the ankle desert boots? Scrolling through the Astorflex catalogue I was intrigued by some models but started wondering how this would sit with the Drake's aesthetic.

    The Official Drakes knock-off thread - look-alikes and the producers behind Drakes

    No, I mean actual long-sleeve polo shirts with button down Oxford style collars. I have one by Lund & Lund, but they seem to have stopped producing this style. I was thinking that, this being as basic as it is, even one of the bigger fast fashion chains must have a comparable style...

    The Official Drakes knock-off thread - look-alikes and the producers behind Drakes

    Any ideas where to find long-sleeve button down polo shirts? Is there even a particular name for this style? Only know it from Berg & Berg, which is slim cut and expensive. It is such a basic thing that there must be other sources?

    How to stop overdressing

    I should have specified that I am not interested in encouragements or discussions about the decline of formal dress, as well meaning as these might be. I am rather interested in ways to dress interesting without simply reverting to business casual shirt + chinos. There is the more...

    How to stop overdressing

    It is with a heavy heart that I admit that I may have been overdressing. I live in a major European capital and work in a fairly informal sector. I find that I am less and less able to get away with what used to be my go-to assembly of blazers and tweed coats, shetland jumpers, oxford shirts...

    SPIER & MACKAY - Official Affiliate Thread

    Silly question, but my understanding is that there is EU-Canada free trade agreement. Does this already apply to clothing such that no import duties are to be paid on Spier and Mackay orders delivered to Europe?

    new Yoox codes and sales - post them here

    Which Yoox sale is the biggest, generally? I suppose Black Friday will be bigger than Single's Day?

    The Official Thrift / Discount Store Bragging Thread Part III (Sept 2018-)

    I was looking forward to thrifting some nice MiUSA ivy sport coats, but am coming to think that all era pieces have terribly noisy polyester lining. I cannot stand it at all. Does anyone have insight into this? Really frustrating to find good ebay pieces only to realise that their lining is or...

    Vintage-styled sneakers for wider feet

    I got the Novesta Marathons and while they are beautiful shoes - exactly the sort of styling I am after - they are also quite exceedingly narrow for a trainer. Have sized up and might give it a try to see how much give they have, but essentially not suitable. The search for wearable wide-fit...

    The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

    Dreary question but do any five pocket cords come close to the Drake's model? Is there any Levi's fit that is borderline acceptable?

    Random Fashion Thoughts (Part 3: Style farmer strikes back) - our general discussion thread

    Sorry to annoy, but can somebody advise - I was awaiting End Clothing's mid-season sale and the earlier code for that, which should be around now, but nothing has materialised so far. Do you reckon they might have changed it from last year? Hoping to pull the trigger on something and still waiting.

    Vintage-styled sneakers for wider feet

    I am very interested in this question as well. I am considering giving the Noveseta Marathons a try.

    Ask A Question, Get An Answer... - Post All Quick Questions Here (Classic menswear)

    What sort of coat has the menswear appeal of a Barbour but more functionality for travelling (lighter, more waterproof)? Bit stuck between the impracticality of waxed coats and the ugliness of much hiking gear.

    The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

    Without doing any unpaid labour for the Drake's design team, what sort of styles or locations do you hope or expect them to do in the next releases? Considering they have done quite a good job at making each release unique I could imagine a more rugged hiking autumnal release at some point...

    The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

    Hm. I think what is appealing about it is its sparse design. It reminds me of something though I cannot yet recall what. Has a 70s smart casual wear vibe about it?

    The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

    I am finding myself rather intrigued by the summery fair isle sweater vest in the last lookbook. Light colours, perhaps in linen. It feels right though I cannot quite explicate why. Seems to be an unique item for the shot though and not on offer for sale?

    Favourite everyday shoe models?

    Every year the same malaise: I am seeking a sturdy everyday shoe for 'business casual' to conservative casual wear in autumn and spring. I would be happy with derbies, bluchers, any sort of brogues, preferably in suede or grain. Perhaps even a serious yuppie trainer, although the Novesta...

    Oxford, it was Oxford. Much more cliché.

    Official Sales Alert thread - sales, coupon and discount codes

    Sorry to ask, but does anyone know whether there is any Yoox sale in the year during which prices for some of the rarer brands reliably fall?
