The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

[upflup]

Looks nice. Stock looks very limited. I also prefer Drakes charcoal to this lighter grey.

Yeah stock has gone down recently but it seems like they do a restock every few months.

If the increased pricing on Drake's goes into the workers pockets I can be happy with them ?

Agreed, although this seems highly unlikely! Would be cool to be able to know things like this though.

O'Connell's has a bunch as well.

Brown 4 Ply Lambswool Cardigan

A superb example of Scotland's knitwear heritage, our weighty 4 ply lambswool cardigan is a great addition to your wardrobe. Team with our tweed trousers for a quintessentially British look.

Cordings also do a nice traditional shawl collar cardi. I have not experienced them in person, but I’m sure they will have a fuller more traditional cut in keeping with the rest of their sizing. Good choice of colours too.

I find Drake's (William Lockie) shawl cardigans run small. I size up one for a slightly relaxed fit and the extra length which feels closer to a sport coat.

I think William Lockie sizes by the sweater's actual chest measurement, not by the chest size it's meant to fit. I believe this is also the case with Drake's cardigans

Surprised these Cheaney x drakes shoes haven’t generated more chat? I think they’re rather nice. No idea of the quality though. Am assuming better than grenson, not as good as Crockett . I.e Cheaney....

Nice pic of the plaid coat on Twitter.




Also, some Todd Snyder x Drake's exclusives. The green cardigan looks nice. Really nice shade of green.

I only own one pair of Cheaney's, a chukka boot, but I have to say it is easily on par with the C&J chukkas. My impression of Cheaney's is that it's as good as Crockett, at least in terms of construction quality and finishing, just a little bit cheaper. Leather quality, I don't know.

I think they’re great. Tempted to order a pair!

Was coming here to share those TS x Drake's ones. The cardigans are a great selection, though I have my heart set on a cocoa Scott & Charters piece at NMWA

That’s a nice colour.

And as a tip, I’ve noticed third-party retailers tend to have lower prices than the Drake’s online store. Noticed that with shoes and ties.

Moving away from more typical Drake's posting to something like @dieworkwear said, "Check out this cool jawns!"

(And as mentioned previously, when I see a coat I really want go down to $200, I buy that ****.)

Blends in seamlessly with 18 East, nice.

Very very cool! Do you feel like that 'tropical' weight will stand up to autumn temps?
