The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

[othertravel]

Heads up: a good selection at 50% off on The Rake. I grabbed the beige needlecord jacket, raw denim cutaway shirt, and blue/white ticking stripe oxford all at 50% off. Just gotta find those matching needlecord pants now..

Don't forget the 5% or 10% off code!

Ah, dammit. Well, in case I make another purchase, what would that code be? They're not an affiliate are they (i.e., where I could pull the code from their thread)?

If you download the app, they send you a code (I forgot what it was). It stacks on sale items too.

Rake sale update:
I ordered one item (Drakes OCBD) on Monday, 1 July. Just received DHL shipment notice (02 July)

 

[mattg1027]

My order from Sunday was delivered in New Jersey earlier today. Won't be home to open the package till Thursday, but damn - I'm impressed.

My deliveries from the Rake are always incredibly fast and the returns service is incomparable. Not sure where all those rumours came from. Perhaps their website was once merely a platform for third party sellers but for at least the last few years they have had their own stockroom in London and lots of exclusive items/collaborations too with Drake's, amongst others.

Always had good service from the rake. They were a touch slower in shipping with the sale. Not too surprising. Delivery was still very fast after shipping.

Thanks everyone for the updates on The Rake's Progress

Rake hasn't shipped my two orders placed 3 weeks ago. Beware

So odd... every time I place an order with The Rake, it's shipped within 1-2 business days and arrives to me (west coast USA) within 2-3 business days.

Based on my experience and others here, this sounds more like the exception than the rule.

How did they respond when you raised the issue?

I just noticed that they added a qualifier on the item’s location. The items I’m looking at have a statement in the details that say that it is located in the UK and it will be shipped in X working days. I didn’t pay attention to this before. So I’m not sure if this existed in older iterations of the webpage or app

Can anyone comment on suit jacket length and buttoning point height? The tan cotton twill is calling to me but I'm a bit wary of the lack of L options. I'm about 6'1 for reference.

That's disappointing. I hope your issue gets resolved soon.
