The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

[ProfDan]

Also, is that a Barbour he is wearing or the new Drake’s waxed cotton? The other two gents are wearing this season’s coats, with the waxed cotton on the right.

I think that’s the winter stable coat from a couple of years ago.

Archive sale is on

It’s on! Not much from this season, and not many highlights imho. The coloured linen chore jackets are really nice and at 50% off (I have the green one). I have bought the d43 jacket in olive. Hoping more items will follow. Did have problems logging in again, there is always a hassle with the password saved from the regular Drake’s site.

I hope more will be added this evening.

Considering they haven't sent out the email about the archive sale yet I think there's a good chance they add more items.

Hope so, not too impressed with what they’ve put up so far!

What is up with that very high pound to USD conversion...sheesh...

Regardless, snagged the Taupe and Green Houndstooth linen silk jacket. I'm a 42L so really hoping this works out. Measurements on it don't feel too off. Hoping a tailor can alter on it for a good fit. Perhaps naïve thinking.

I was considering this as well. Was hoping for a larger selection ha.

Yeah I'll ebay it or sell it on here if it doesn't work out.

Oh I had not seen that! Luckily I had already tried on the size 42 of the jacket I have just bought but will be more careful ordering from archivesale from now on.

ETA: maybe in the USA only? Just checked it for me in the Netherlands and returns are still accepted. Should also be the case given EU regulation, though no idea if brexit changed that for UK shops?!

Alright! Restocked espadrilles as mine are wearing out. These are suede, though. Last ones were cotton canvas I think. Hope they work out.

Nice price on the Japanese linen shirts although I have enough of those.

A silk/linen summer tweed model from last summer I’m selling has split cuffs but non-functioning buttonholes to allow for alterations.
