Really liking the new Capalbio jackets.

I'm rather torn. I like the country style of it, but I'm not sure I like that sort of wale. I do like the other cord jackets, especially the mustard.

Say what you like about this seasons style, they do a fantastic lookbook.

Agreed. I prefer last season's, partly down to the collection to be sure, but I loved that look book. Have mine tucked away in my drawer and ready to spring as soon as the weather finally gets nice and cool.

As for last season, quite glad I stocked up when I did. Just wish I'd been able to grab that navy Harris Tweed jacket from last year. I do like the houndstooth Harris Tweed offerings this season though.

I hope imitation is that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I've been 'flattering' Drake's a lot and that won't change anytime soon. The shirt and 'square as bandana' are from Drake's:

This whole Ivy/Collegiete look has been worn completely out. Can't believe it is still being reinterpreted. Drake's used to be "quirky British" and sometimes "classic British", but of late looks like Polo.
Yes, it is beautifully produced, but it doesn't really offer anything inspiring.

I like the way they try to differentiate a look that RL, Brooks, and J Press have done for decades by saying it is inspired by Oxford and not the Ivies. I figured they could have come up with a better back story than that. Not sure if they are fooling anyone.

They're out there. I think some Reddit people have put them all up on in galleries. I have no idea why they're not still on the Drake's website... crazyness.
