The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

[Octobab]

I'm hoping to make it down to Canal St after work today around 7 - hoping there'll at least be a few things left by then. I might be willing to proxy for one or maybe two people, but I've had some bad/exhausting experiences with doing so in the past and I'm not 100% sure

If there is any of the knit polos in 38, preferably in green or olive, please pick two up for me. I am happy to pay in advance if you send me your details (long-sleeved ones).

 

[AmicusCuriae]

anyone who is going or was there today able to share the price list?

Are the cord chore coats usually part of the sample sale?

If anyone going to the sale sees chore coats in 42 please let me know! Greatly appreciated.

I stopped by the sample sale this morning. There's alot of stuff but was hard to find things in neutral colors in my size (M/38). See below for what I can remember.

- Full size runs for corduroy trousers, cord games suits, and canvas truckers from this past season. A few polo overcoats, blackwatch coverall, flyflishing coat as well. Past season items all at 40% off.
- Many many bins of shirts for $90 each
- "Jersey" items for $90, by far the worst priced items.
- Sportscoats for $500, mostly in the 42-46 size range. Not alot of variety for size 36-40.
- Obviously alot of ties and scarfs
- Limited amount of sweaters, mostly in bright yellow and other eclectic colors.
- Good amount of knit hats and gloves and other accesories for $40
- Shoes: espadrilles, paraboot, and cheaney collections

Do you remember seeing any raincoats or scarves like these?

 

[hamish5178]

@garigo there were none of those new raincoats, there were 2-3 khaki mac/raincoat things, from prior seasons.

There were zero of those scarves. Only the wool-silk blends without fringe, as well as square ones, and cotton-silk ones.

They also had full racks of current season raglan and polo coats at around 50% off. Highlight for me was sweater vests sleeveless cardigans for $45.

 

[hamish5178]

I take that back, there were a handful of plain white silk scarves w/ fringe, like for the opera, buried at the bottom of the bins.

There were quite a few chore coats in a full size run, looked to me to be needlecord and a few of the linen ones that were available during the archive sale last week. Similar selection when it games to Games blazers. Also a ton of overshirts in the two pocket and old three pocket style.

 

[garigo]

Good deals as always apparently!

Finally an excuse to grab the orange casentino. Also grabbed the grey raglan. Why not

price on each? and what was stock like for those two?

 

[Nat25]

price on each? and what was stock like for those two?

Full size run on grey raglan. 40% off. I couldn’t justify it at retail since I have 25 coats but at 40 off I am a buyer.
Casentino vests $295, which was about what I bought my other one for in sale at the store years ago, but I love it and was fine having an extra one.
