The Official Drake's London Appreciation Thread

[justinpledger]

Does anyone here know which firm in Scotland makes Drake’s cashmere beanies. They’re a great size and shape but £175 is a little steep ? Thank you!

Anyone know who makes the Drake's Christmas trees?

I believe it may be William Lockie

I'm really liking this piece, I might consider having to pick it up. I was expecting it to be over $1000 when I saw it on Instagram, kind of surprised it came in for $800...

Fit pic from Ikea.

Last year's aran knit and FW19 Casentino coat. Gives me a reason to look forward to cold weather every year.

Anyone here who ended up getting the polo coat, and has comments or pictures to share?

Probably my favourite piece of current Drake's offers now that they have little ties and pocket squares on catalogue.

Hi! I’m quite new to Drake’s as a brand but happened to buy the five pocket trousers in selvedge needlecord and absolutely love the fit. Now I’m finding myself trying to convince myself that I 100% NEED them in denim as well. Drake’s seem to have very nice sample sale events couple times a year but my question is if they usually do some sort of christmas sale online? Should I expect to find these jeans on sale ?. I paid the full price for the needlecord and have zero regrets whats so ever (such a great fit) but I’m in no hurry with the denim version so waiting for a while is not a problem. Basically I got enough jeans already ?

Drakes just held an online archive sale about two weeks back, so I wouldn't expect one for a while now. They have a separate site here.

I can't say that I've seen the denim on sale before. Of course you don't want to pay full price if you don't have to but, if you really enjoy the fit and have the means to do so...just buy them.

I'm normally across Drakes and missed this. Did they mention it on Instagram?

i believe it was a quick two day sale. Relatively small number of products in the sale. I remember being disappointed and others in this thread felt the same.

It was on IG, I think it was advertised in IG "Stories" vice a static post. It also went out via the Drakes email.....

At least all the measurements are the same according to the size chart and the cut/details seems exactly the same in pictures. I’ve always thought they would fit the same ?‍

How’s your experience with the jeans? Quality of the denim, how do they fade, do they stretch or loose shape? Anything interesting in the fabric texture, slubbyness etc? There’s no leg twist to be expected I guess.
I’ve got the tan needlecord pair you linked. Fabric isn’t shiny like most needlecord or corduroy and looks sort of like the trousers had been worn for a year or two I guess. Quite light also… I would guess about 10oz or less. The fabric greases easily which is only negative thing I can think of.
