You’ve found your colour palette/style/fit perfectly. Looks better than the drakes lookbook!

Thank you! They have been an enormous influence on me and I love the styling.

I just picked up the Herringbone Shirt Jacket from Drake's, its beautiful! Has anyone laundered their linen stuff in the wash cold, delicate, and hung dried? Any shrinkage? The tag says dry clean only but hoping to be able to wash it at home.

I will shrink 1-2 inches in length/ chest and will bleed color too so would recommend washing it separately. Mine was bigger overall so washing it helped to be an overall good fit.

Thanks! Guess I should have sized up!

That's great and it sold out pretty quickly in my size. I ended up getting the chambray blue linen/cotton overshirt. Looking forward to getting mine.

Gents,

I'm tempted to pick up this square because of my little guy but am not sure how versatile it is. How would you wear this?

I find pocket squares with a dark ground to be not versatile. I would pass.

Is the background olive? It should work colorwise with brown, navy, and grey sport coats. Since the images are pretty well spaced out it should also work with a variety of patterns. Another colorway might be easier. But if it appeals to you and the price is good I’ve got no problem with squares that only work with a few combos.

In action - Drake's linen field jacket, shirt and scarf:

In wool/silk I am down for dark grounds for FW, but in cotton or silk it would be hard to wear in SS.
