I really love these new linen blazers. Summer 2020’s linen blazers were also magnificent. Reminded me a bit of 80s David Sylvian style.

Has anyone seen this tie in any of the look books or know the name of this tie, please?

Looking high and low but not getting much luck due to not knowing the name that this tie was called. Any advice is much appreciated.

Have you contacted Drakes directly? They should be able to help...

for those of you that own the suede chore jackets, how has it aged? I just tried on a the rust color and wow, it is amazing. For size reference I tired on a size 38 and it fits great. I wear a size 15.5 in the regular oxfords, a size 38 in Drake's tailoring, and a size medium in the overshirts.

Some Drake's stuff (mainly shirts but also one summer tweed jacket) is 30% off at Beige Habilleur.

Anyone got an idea when to expect the next online archive sale?

I’d think not anytime soon. Not sure what stock they’d even have left for an archive sale at this point.

Not entirely true. I was told at Drakes on Savile Row that they’re having another ‘event’ later this year. Whether that means another sample sale or just the usual seasonal archive sale, who knows. Perhaps Covid hasn’t been wonderful for Drakes either

Has anyone got one of the cotton ripstop jungle jackets? If so what are your thoughts? Considering getting one but having got a number of summer through to September items of outerwear and nothing really in the way of chores for fall/winter, would the jungle jacket be a needless folly? Or is it something you can wear comfortably in the colder months?

COVID seems to have been great for luxury brands generally. I don’t think Drake’s is struggling based on how quickly a lot of stuff sells out. Seasonal sales are part of the business model (i.e. price discrimination) of most luxury brands so I don’t see it as a sign of struggling.

An archive sale could happen later this year, and still fall into the realm of "not anytime soon" so you can both be right.

I would agree with bb, likely no archive sale soon after the sample sales in London and NY.

Yet an archive sale in autumn makes sense.

I suppose it’s funny how words can be open to interpretation. After the chaos in the london sale, when I was told they were holding another event this year I was quite surprised and left thinking, how soon!
