The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

[asewonder]

I have had this done.
On my particular over shirt it was expensive as they had to take the sleeves off and shorten them from the arm hole end. I think I paid £50.
That said, it made the over shirt much much better for me and was absolutely worth the expense. I’ve come to really love having alterations done on casual clothes - It can really take a piece that is ok, to great.

Thanks, yeah the rest of it fits perfectly but it’s either I always roll the sleeves or have them shortened.

Got a chance to wear the block colour knit! The indigo cord chore coat is also Drake's.

That is a gorgeous chore coat. Is it still available? I can't see it on their website...
Thank you!

Thank you! I got it in the sale in January 2020. They might not make it any longer.

Those raw denim shirts are pretty great

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?

It's in cotton sadly. It was available here: https://www.drakes.com/multi-colour-fair-isle-knit-sleeveless-v-neck-jumper

Looks like its sold out.

You can see the details if you find a cached version. $425 for a cotton vest is very steep.

If you search eBay for "Ralph Lauren Fair Isle vest," you can find an alternative for about $125

 

[Philby]

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?

 

[Jon 1981]

At $425 I'd call that (un)fair isle.

I'd second searching ebay for the older Polo blue label vests by Ralph Lauren.

It is one of the best chore jackets I've seen! Such a beautiful colour. I am obsessed with their chore jackets! I have the rust heavyweight suede one (without the blanket lining), the dark denim one. And now I want to get the forest green corduroy one and possibly even the navy tencel one ?

Can vouch for the corduroy one, it's the perfect shade of green!

how did you size on the suede jacket? I am a size medium in the overshirts and am thinking of getting a 38

 

[justinpledger]

I bought a size medium in the overshirt and am a 38 in the chore jacket! I have a horrible feeling that they may have sold out here in the UK. But perhaps not where you are! I really hope you get one as it's a gorgeous piece. Let me know!
