What's the fit like? I usually take a 42 in Drake's, but often go up to 44 for their knitwear, which I find fits a bit slimmer. Thanks!

This shirt is actually the opposite. They fit larger than usual. I'm normally a 44 and the 42 fits me well.

I’m glad to know this. I would take a 36 and my impression was that it ran large even though the measurements suggest otherwise. Most of their offerings look very standard/ traditional in fit.

Hi all - what is the fit like on the tailored pants please? Looking at the navy needlecord pants. I am a pretty standard 34, are they tts or could I get away with the 36s and maybe have them taken in slightly? Thanks!

Do Drakes' jackets fit true to chest size or run small? I.e. in US brands, I would take a 42 typically, but in italian brands I take a 54EU/44US.

Would I want to go for a 42UK or 44UK?

Current Drakes offerings are pretty true to size. If you’re a 42 and you’re on Drakes US site, get the 42

For anyone thinking of buying an overshirt. Here are some measurements after a wash. Size medium. Bearing in the mind the tape isn't completely straight. Personally would have sized up looking back.

That's good to know. I have a couple and the wash instructions say to dry clean only, but I have been tempted to just throw them in the wash at times

My linen M felt big at first, but I think all the wrinkling takes care of some of that. I’ve only dry cleaned it because I like the size, ultimately.
