Yep! That was on his booth at MAN Paris. Most of the segments are also taken outside of Tranoi, Capsule and Man (Paris menswear trade shows)

Pretty awesome.

That tie looks great, btw. I assume it's from his line.

 

[gdl203]

Yes it's from FW14

^^^Great video. Unlike many blogger photos, most of these looks actually appear to be comfortable. They also remind me to get to the gym and skip donuts.

Does anyone know who makes Drakes' knitwear for them? It's really nice.

Lockie, last I checked...

It's been speculated in the past that Lockie is the maker of their cashmere cardigans, as the they used to have an identical looking one (the model doesn't show on Lockie's site ATM), which in turn seems to be the same one offered by Berk.

Presumably they have different makers for their different models, as some are 'Knitted in The Aran Islands', some are 'Knitted in the Scottish Borders', some are 'Knitted on the Shetland Isles', some are 'Knitted in Ireland', etc.

More speculation here.

I am thinking of removing the shoulder pads in one of my suits. Someone kindly please try to convince me not to

Don't do it! The shoulder expression is not in the padding!

If the person doing it is capable and can make the necessary compensating adjustments to the rest of the garment, go ahead.

I've had it done several times with great results.

It is tricky. If you do it make sure it is done with a competent tailor. The shoulder seam will have to be pinned to make up for the extra space created by the absent pad. If that's not done the armhole and stance will lower.
