I was hoping to get the grey checked raglan coat but now it seems it‘s sold out in my size… if anyone of you can get his hands on a size 40 or 42 I would take it! And seeing the pictures of the sample sale makes me regret buying it earlier in the season.

How’s the fit on Drake’s shirts? I’m waiting for some 15.5” collar shirts from the Archive sale and hoping I’ve got the right size! My TM Lewin shirts are 15” but have become almost tight around the neck since lockdown. ?

Looks really good on you. How tall are you? None of them fit me, even sizing down they all felt like I was wearing a parachute (5'9, ~160lbs).
Thanks! I’m 6’1’’ and I actually had to size up to a 42.

Sweet coat @garigo .

Stopped by the sample sale this afternoon. Did not purchase anything, but did try the raglan coats on. They were $995.

I liked the shape and fit in my typical size. I preferred the check over the grey donegal, but thought the check was a bit too dark for what I might be looking for right now.

Picked up the blue & white striped rugby shirt at the sample sale. Very nice, but I probably better in a 40 not a 38. Wondering if anyone has the same one and if they've seen it shrink any?

I had the pink and blue one, it shrunk considerably. I can’t even wear it anymore; had to give it to the mrs! (Reluctantly)

Been looking at safari and D-43 jackets for spring/summer and was wondering if anyone owned either of these:


If so, what's your experience with it? Are there similar alternatives out there you would recommend?

I think that D-43 Linen Field Jacket looks so good! The photos here show it off really well: http://www.linnegatan2.com/drake-s-linen-d-43-field-jacket-olive

I have the D-43, but I bought it second hand a few months ago so I haven't hade the time to wear it. Cannot wait for the weather to get warmer for me to wear it.
