Drake's collab is one of the weaker ones in recent memory especially from a suiting perspective: picked up a waxed cotton ripstop chore jacket on impulse but not sure if I'll keep.
Can you comment on the quality and fit of the jacket when you receive? I’ve been eyeing a drakes chore jacket.

Most definitely, once it arrives. This one was a ripstop waxed cotton chore jacket so it might not be that similar to the more typical moleskine ones I think they do

following up, the ripstop chore jacket is lighter than i expected (I'd classify it as a midweight versus my ALD duck canvas chore jacket from SS21 which was quite thick) and quite stiff, but i imagine upon breaking it in it'll be super comfy. Love the buttons and the corduroy collar, great pockets on the inside. Overall good piece as long as you are good with it being probably more of a fall or spring piece than a winter coat

Dope! Thanks for the insight! I live in California so a spring fall only piece is perfectly fine for me. How does it fit? I’m torn between a small and a medium. May I ask what your genera measurements and what size you got for the jacket?

No prob mate. I'm 6'1 165 lb and Medium is great. I have a 6'3+ wingspan so the arms just barely fit (they look extra short in the pic because of my pose but theyre slightly longer). the body is a pretty relaxed fit but the arms taper down a bit. hope that helps!

Just getting to know this brand. I was looking at their caps on the Drake's website, but I noticed they're all made in China. I thought I'd get one from Woolrich, but those are also made in China.

Is all of their stuff made in China?

Most of it is now, except for the collabs. China has some great factories. Everything I’ve bought recently has still been very good quality
